That scene horrified me as a kid. The screech of the radio haunted me.

I saw this film in the theatre, and I remember this particular scene was horrifying.

Those men back then had some serious balls.

I first saw this movie when i was four and i only remember the part where the tail gunner shots the fighter and when the B-17 gets sliced by the fighter.

The USAAF commited war crimes and I have to puke if I watch this movie.

George Lucas and the maker of "Red Tails" should have taken notes.

In 1944 the p-51s could escort al the way to Germany

Why are you saying your welcome? You didn't contribute a damned thing to the war.

@mybluebelly There are not very many airworthy 17's left so they were limited in what they could do. Also, creating your own fictional aircraft avoids upsetting veterans/relatives when the characters meet their eventual demise.

@ColoursCapello Why would they use fictional markings instead of real replica`s?

Anyway i love this movie!

[ColoursCapello]

@mybluebelly No, but the fate suffered by this fictional aircrew was a fairly common cause of loss during WW2, most of it in the latter part of the war where German fighters would intentionally ram allied aircraft.
