Battle Extraordinaire

Just a wonderful movie:
We first saw Air Force when we were nine.

Everything in the trailer is true.

This is an adventure film with some great battle scenes. We particularly like the battle sequence at Clark AFB where the B-17 narrowly escapes the approaching Japanese. There's a great scene where the B-17 is taxing into position even as one of the mechanics is tightening bolts on an engine.*

Air Force features a crew from all over America, Quinncanon, Rader, Winacki, Weinberg, Hauser. They're a good looking bunch too.

Why don't you go take a warm bath, Ed.

*We did something similar in one of our novels. First reader to name the book get an autographed copy.
