That’s weird...my reply got erased! In any event, all I could find was reference to a “downed british bomber”

Thanks, saw the B-24 was also in RAF service. I see the B-25 had the same distinctive tail. B-25 also RAF. Guess the crew complement would make the difference. Pretty sure there were 5 survivors, but can’t remember how many died in the crash. I know the pilot did, perhaps he was the only one. Hmm, B-24 could carry 11, seems to be too many for the movie. B-25 carried only 6. If only one died in the crash, then the B-25 would likely be it, but have not been able to find that much detail in the plot/story line. Have the movie, might be time to watch it again!
