Two WWII military films have been scheduled by Olive Films for release on May 13th: Flying Tigers (1942) and Home of the Brave (1949) on both DVD and Blu-Ray.

This marks the DVD & Blu debut for Home of the Brave and the Blu bow for Flying Tigers.

Prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a small and daring band of American mercenaries soared into battle against Japan in defense of China's freedom. The 'Flying Tigers' were heroic adventurers and America's hottest ace pilots. Possessing unmatched skill and bravery, Capt. Jim Gordon (John Wayne), was the Tigers' leader and top gun.

Gordon faces a battle on and off the ground when his good friend and ace pilot, Woody Jason (John Carroll) is suspected of recklessly and selfishly endangering the lives of his fellow pilots. Gordon's fight to retain his respect for Woody while maintaining the solidarity of his pilots is an explosive battle of courage and heroism that lights up the sky with action.

Directed by the great and underrated David Miller (Sudden Fear) with a rousing score by Victor Young (The Quiet Man). Nominated for three Academy Awards in 1942.  

Based on a play by Arthur Laurents (Rope), Home of the Brave recounts the story of a young black soldier who has suffered a nervous breakdown and developed psychosomatic paralysis. Crippled by rage and trauma, his condition was induced by experiences encountered during a reconnaissance mission combined with a lifetime of discrimination. He may be able to walk again, but only if he can overcome his anger and frustrations.

The film's theme revolves around a diverse group of men subjected to the horror of war and their individual struggles.  Home of the Brave was one of Hollywood's first bold statements regarding the issue of race. The cast includes Frank Lovejoy, Lloyd Bridges, Douglas Dick, James Edwards, Steve Brodie and Jeff Corey. Produced by Stanley Kramer (On the Beach) and directed by Mark Robson (Champion) with a screenplay by Carl Foreman (High Noon).
