strange... I thought this thread was supposed to be about a new HBO mini-series.....
A few months back, I received the bluray version of "12 O'Clock High". It was made in 1949, but had a surprisingly adult script. They used 12 actual B-17s, crashed one and most of the combat footage in the film is actual combat footage shot during the war. I also found out many of the extras/crew had also served in combat during WW2. A good film to put you in the mood while we wait.
