Great reading SAM. Bombing run scenes from "Memphis Belle" come to mind.

Ever find it strange how those singers on Mitch Miller sounded like they were in a concert hall vs. a studio? :) Still, I sang along with 'em.

Thanks DD.

Mitch always got me going with "Yellow Rose of Texas"

About the only things they got right in "Memphis Belle" were the name of the airplane, the fact that it flew 25 missions and the names of its crew. One of the worst cases of Hollywood rewriting history that I've ever seen.

For a good 8AF movie (albeit in largely fictional circumstances as well), "Twelve O'Clock High" is one of my favorites of all time.
