a5c7b9f00b The story of 'The Millionaires' Unit' is about a group of Yale college students who form a private air militia to learn to fly in preparation for WWI. The First Yale Unit became the founding squadron of the US Naval Air Reserve. They become the first to fly and the first to die for the US in the Great War. Over six years of development and production, the film crew has worked closely with Unit family members, unearthing archival treasures in small and major archives in the US and Europe. Filming occurred up and down the Eastern Seaboard and in England, France, Belgium and New Zealand. The film will be complete this year in time for commemoration of the WWI centennial. Seven years in the making and filmed on three continents, The Millionaires' Unit documentary tells the dramatic story of a group of Yale students who were the first to fly for America in WW1, some of them making the ultimate sacrifice.
