Wings of Destiny

Wings of Destiny is a 1940 action war film directed by Rupert Kathner and starring Marshall Crosby and John Fernside.

[Note 1] A group of Australian officials are investigating a reported discovery of wolframite, a strategic material needed for the manufacture of munitions.

Marsden and mechanic Monty Martin (George Lloyd) survive and encounter "Mulga" Flannigan (Reginald King), an old prospector who warns the pair about the dangers of the outback.

The next morning, in affirmation of the lurid tales Mulga has told, another prospector staggers into their improvised campsite, with a spear wound and soon dies.

Wings of Destiny was shot, in part, on location at the Sydney waterfront and featured footage of aboriginal tribal life from Kathner's earlier film, Phantom Gold (1937).
