NOBLE HEART MEDIA, INC. is an S-Corporation founded by Camille Maurine and Dr. Lorin Roche in February, 2007. We are currently working on the "Flight of Angels Project" – a book and documentary film about the miraculous survival of Israel in the first few weeks of her existence in May 1948. The focus is on a group of four young pilots – an American, a South African, and two Israelis – who spread their wings over the country and held off the Army of Egypt.

Noble Heart is dedicated to telling stories that inspire and heal. The name comes from our affectionate term honoring Captain Lou Lenart (USMC, Ret.), our “noble heart” who, against all odds, put his life on the line to help when it was so desperately needed.

Lou Lenart is the "last man standing" of those four pilots, and he is actively working with us, daily, to get the story told. Noble Heart Media is also producing the documentary.

In addition to Captain Lenart, two other pilots who flew missions in support of Israel in 1948 are collaborating and ready, willing, and able to tell their stories on film:

– Al Schwimmer was awarded the prestigious Israel Prize in 2006 (see also here). Al is an aircraft engineer, and in 1947-48 was the maintenance and logistics mastermind who helped organize the airlifts to sustain the new Jewish state.

– Coleman Goldstein (everyone calls him Coley) was a WWII bomber pilot who flew rescue and supply missions in the Negev in 1948, often landing at night, on dirt strips, to pick up the wounded.

“Destiny” the Documentary Film – reveals Lou’s personal journey, the journey of the heart. The film follows the adventures of the pilots from Los Angeles to New York, Rome, Czechoslovakia, and Israel. Interviews with Lou and other key personnel about the 1948 story will be woven with historical footage, photos, and beautifully filmed, poetic recreations of Lou’s memories and visions. We see the film as a 100 minute documentary, with feature film production values.

“Destiny” the Book, by Lorin Roche, Ph.D. and Camille Maurine – narrative nonfiction based on Lou’s life story. It will read like an action-adventure novel and as a gripping personal memoir. From Lou’s boyhood on a farm in Hungary, to immigrating to the U.S. and becoming a fighter pilot in the Marines, to his service to the nation of Israel, the book traces the forces that shaped his destiny.

Collectively, the book and documentary constitute our Flight of Angels Project. The Israel Air Force is endorsing the Project and offering generous support.
