Martin B No one will ever confuse this movie with 12 O'Clock High over simplifying the horror of of day light bombing into one gigantic raid but it wasn't boring. The British officer character saved an otherwise dreary, character actor ladden cast. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun made for TV WW2 fick! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather average, slow paced WWII tale of daring daylight bombing of Germany. Good combat footage however toward the end of the film. Great crash landing near the end too. Original Release Date: May 2, 1969 A U.S. Air Force colonel (Christopher George) convinces the Alies during World War II that a daylight bombing raid of Germany will bring a quick end to the war. No one of authority really wanted to believe a daylight bombing would succeed (but it does). Christopher George never really made a hit with me in anything he made for some reason, so the film suffered proportionately. He had some villain roles on TV westerns and other movies. Maybe that is why. Note that Gavin McCloud of TV's Love Boat plays a bit role as a mechanic. Typical scenes of older generals surrounding a map room at the end. Never quite saw a thousand planes however, maybe a dozen at a time. Cast Christopher George (US Airforce colonel is lead actor) Laraine Stephens J.D.
