"Congratulations on a touching, restless haunt of a film.  ...one stops breathing, to watch.........
wonderful sensitivity, knowing when to press and when to back off quietly and let the story whisper for itself. Now I take inspiration from you two, finding you conquered the "no edge" arguments. It never crossed my mind that your film, born of desperate conflict, shows no desperate conflict! I was riveted and inspired in a wonderfully subtle way by the quiet, long-term, unswerving determination of the man and the group.
You catch these wild contrasts beautifully...no exclamation points, no fanfares. So softly do they sing on their own.The final line and the end is filmmaking at its best. I've been deeply impressed, Last Flight Home did not let me go for a long time after the screen went dark..."

"I can only admire in awe the difficulty of capturing pent-up emotions of the family members with
such compassion and disciplined silence......It's an exceptional and powerful documentary...."

Col. Joe Alexander, USMC Retired , Author-Historian

"........The Last Flight Home is a powerful film that should not be missed.......powerful stories of family members and those who see that these men are not forgotten...."

Justin Taylan, www.PacificWrecks.com

"...that was incredible, I never expected the movie I just saw, a wonderful artful powerful film ...

Sam from Palau

"I just wanted to congratulate you again on the documentary. The film was really good, but the work you guys do is AWESOME! I sent in my check this morning!"

Christine from Memphis

"The film was slotted on the last day (Sun.) and the last showing (730pm) and was still sold out! That NO one left for the Q&A says it all almost— what said it all were all the red eyes we saw in the audience."

Pat from San Francisco

"I want to let you know amazed I was to see the film. I had no idea to the extent of the mission and the success that has been made. To meet the key players and the film makers, the emotional feeing in the room was incredible."

Bill from Vermont

"Three weeks ago I saw the film "[L]ast [F]light [H]ome," I cannot tell you how impressed I was with this documentary ... please advise me as to where I can purchase a copy ... It's a story I want to share locally and hopefully gain more support for your efforts."

John from Palau

"In August of 1993 with the finding of the trawler sunk by GHW Bush in July of 1944 just off an island of Palau a forgotten portion of the former President's war activities came to light. With Dr. Scannon's continuing research into the battles over Palau and his search for Lt. R. Houle, GHW Bush's leadman, who went missing over the islands it is highly probable that Dr Scannon will be able to fill in these missing pieces of history."

Robert Stinnett, Author
George Bush: His World War II Years

"...while much has been written about other battles of the Pacific theater, Palau and her battles have been all but neglected. The men who fought these battles deserve no less recognition for their valor and sacrifice. Dr. Scannon and his BentProp organization are making this chapter in aviation history a better documented campaign and it is a great service to these brave men and their families..."
