Storyline

- TriviaWilhelm Scream: When Tom is killed by flak.
- GoofsIn B-17's the mechanism where the gunner in the top turret gun sat was clear visible and took up considerable room behind the pilots. Accordingly, the pilot entered the cockpit from a hatch built into the floor of the plane by their seats. In this movie the pilots board the plane as if there were the flight crew on an airliner. There is no top turret machinery visible behind the pilots even though the exterior shots show the top turret firing. So where is the top turret gunner?
- Crazy creditsTo the segment of our audience who noticed flaws in certain historical and technical aspects of our film: we strove to be as accurate as we were able to afford. This movie was a labor of love, born out of respect for the men of the Army Air Corps who both flew and supported the operations of B-17s during WWII. Unfortunately, much of the equipment that might of increased the accuracy of our sets no longer exists, and those people who still own and operate B-17s were not forthcoming with assistance in providing us with access to planes. We were forced to do what many generations of film makers and G.I.s had to do before us: Make do. So, to those who were unable to enjoy the film due to glaring inaccuracies, we offer our deepest condolences. No doubt, you will find a community of like-minded, disappointed individuals on the Internet to validate your outrage at such historical inaccuracies, such as the lack of small wall tents, or the wrong gauge rivets in the cockpit windows. We hope, that in time, you will forgive us.

pretty good actually
I hate seeing people unfairly underrating films because they are not happy with seeing unknown actors and graphics that don't reach super tech status...give them a chance, these guys have created an enjoyable b movie that easily equals anything that a more known actor can make. Why do you all down talk graphics and special effects? its not always the graphics that make the film,do you think you can do any better? ...i didn't think so or you'd have done it by now....this movie was better than many i have seen so far these last few months and as it was based on true facts i wasn't expecting anything overly exciting to happen but was impressed by the story and will happily watch it again another day with my partner.
