An enjoyable live action combat film

Warning: Spoilers
*Spoiler/plot- 1947, A film showing the operations of a fighter/bomber air wing group flying from Sardinia to Italy to support the Italian Allied campaign.

*Special Stars- Director: John Sturges. Narrator: Robert Lowery. Pilot's voice: Lloyd Bridges

*Theme- Airpower is crucial in operations.

*Trivia/location/goofs- Filmed in Sardinia. Look for the best film representations of Christmas holidays celebrated in the rear areas by troops of the WW2 period.

*Emotion- An enjoyable documentary made up of live action combat or newsreel footage. It gives you the tone and feel of the times for WW2 fighter pilots. However, there are the unpleasant shots of injured Americans with some blatant racist language. But it is extremely educational and does what a narrative simulated war film can do.
