having an enjoyable rainy day, coffee, the Wall Street Journal and watching one my favorite U boat movies...Muphy's War

with Peter O'Toole!

the Grummam "Duck"J2F arial footage sequences are noteworthy. THE UBOAT WAS ACTUALLY THE BALEO CLASS USS TILEFISH SS-307, WHICH, AFTER IT'S DECOMMISSIONING, HAD BEEN SOLD TO THE VENEZUALEAN NAVY AS AVR S-11 CARITE-AND CANNIBLIZED FOR PARTS AFTER 16 YEARS OF SERVICE

WHERE SCENES WERE FILMED IN THE ORINOCO RIVER. For the role, she was modified by the addition of a "cigarette deck" aft of her sail and was painted in a "dazzle" camouflage pattern.

THE 'DUCK' WAS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR TYPE OR MARKINGS BUT WAS READILY AVAILABLE...SUCH IS THE NATURE OF POETIC LICENSE IN CINEMA. THE ACTUAL RESTORED MOVIE PLANE IS CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY

AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE U.S. AIRFORCE IN OHIO
