1943
star 5Young men endure challenging flight training in the Yokaren, a program feeding new pilots into the Army and Navy. By the time of the filming, the pressure of the war had led the government to shorten the training and expand the age range of the recruits. Yokaren was highly selective, and thus an object of great fascination and desire for boys and young men. In this Navy–sponsored film, Setsuko Hara plays the daughter of a family that often entertains recruits on their days off—a surrogate sister to many trainees. Her fragile younger brother aspires to join the program, but is rejected. With perseverance and much support from Hara and their mother, he surmounts his weaknesses and becomes a flier.Inka 1946

The orphaned sisters, Inka and her siblings, were raised by their grandmother. The heroine was an AK nurse. She was sentenced to death for joining the unit of Major Szendzielarz alias Łupaszko, which was subordinate to the legal authorities of the Republic of Poland in exile. The judges relied on false testimony from militiamen, which, by the way, did not fully incriminate her. In a secret message to her grandmother, Siedzikówna wrote: "Tell my grandmother that I behaved as I should."Legacy
