In the siege of Minas Tirith, the Nazgul wre causing havoc agaisnt the soldiers of Gondor. In this situation, support from the Eagles would have proved most useful. Why then did Gandalf not seek the support of the Gwaihir the Windlord? The orcs would have been reluctant to fire arrows at the Eagles if they swarmed close to the winged beasts, incase they slew the wrong target.
