Very good movie!
I'm actually re-reading the whole history of the second world war as I write these lines. It's absolutly incredible the suffering people all over the world went through during these years.
AMAZING AND VERY SAD.
Thanks for the link!

This was reported in an English aviation magazine some time ago, Many photos and Quotes from people who were there, Bought tears to my eyes then and now the courage of all these young men and the ROUGES that saved lives with their daring. Anzac day today in Australia and New Zealand, a time to remember and give thanks .Noel.

Excellent topic. I enjoyed it. Like all aviation films and reports there are errors in the dialog. The B-17 does not have hydraulic rudder controls. In Europe the German fighters would attack the bombers and then roll over to pass under the target plane belly up. Thus was because there armour plate would protect them as the plate was installed to protect the bottom of the ship. There are other errors in the pictures but I will leave them for others to notice.
