QUESTION 2-In which movie does Wayne portray a World War II hero in the Battle of the Pacific?

Correct Incorrect After being in the industry for nearly two decades, Allan Dwan's 1949 war epic, Sands of Iwo Jima, earned Wayne his first Oscar nomination. Although Wayne didn't serve in World War II, he played the role of a WWII hero in the film, which became a point of contention with director John Ford.
