THE SHAMROCK SPITFIRE
Format: Feature Film
War / Biography / Drama
SYNOPSIS
THE SHAMROCK SPITFIRE tells the story of Irish fighter pilot Brendan “Paddy” Finucane, who at the age of just 21, became the youngest ever Wing Commander in the Royal Air Force, and one of its greatest and most celebrated fighter aces during World War Two.
It is the story of a life shaped by fate and destiny, but it is also a story of the power of grit and determination, of triumph over adversity.
THE SHAMROCK SPITFIRE is a tribute to a now largely forgotten Irish hero, a man who in his short life inspired a nation and became a living legend.
