Conflict of Wings is a 1954 British comedy drama film directed by John Eldridge and starring John Gregson, Muriel Pavlow and Kieron Moore.[2] The film is based on a novel of the same title by Don Sharp who later became a noted director.[3][4] Villagers in Norfolk rally to prevent the RAF from attempting to use an island for target practice.
It was a production of Group 3 Films with backing from the NFFC. Shooting took place at Beaconsfield Studios and on location in Norfolk. The film's sets were designed by the art director Ray Simm. It is one of the rare British aviation films that focused on the ground crew as opposed to aircrew.[5]
It was distributed by British Lion.
Conflict of Wings was released to cinemas in London on 30 March 1954. It was released later that year in the United States under the title Fuss Over Feathers.[6]
