The best fighter plane is the one that is not shot down.
superb movie great job Charles
Somethin just aint right when Germans flyin P-51s…………………………..
Great movie! Rock Hudson appears several times in the background of this movie but has no speaking part and he is not listed in the credits. Probably his first movie.
remind me back in Puerto Rico my childhood black and white TV…no womans in the movie..lol cheesy movie
The phrase “you never leave your wingman” comes to mind, along with “pull that stunt again and you won’t get a job flying rubber dog 🐩 poo 💩 out of Hong Kong” perhaps Harden should be busted down to Lt JG, or even posted to a liaison position with the free French airforce.
Lol I bet it offended someone painting p51s to look like German fighters. Lol.
Guess they had a lot of P-51's when they made this. The Germans are all flying them!!!
Just in the title is exponential I doubt this is real at all. Good luck
Why would the pilots wear red? It's the easiest color to see and the worst camouflage when they are on the run in the woods after being ejected from a plane.
there is one shitty scene in the film where they show a German pilot shooting at a Parachute, not a thing sorry. The Luftwaffe had a code of the air.
About the drop tanks, did they not need them to get to Berlin and back? could they use the tanks first so thet they would be empty or nearly so by the time they got there?
clearly want filmed in Britain , blue skies, bwown mountains in the flying scenes.
P51 was the closest to me 109?
If you don't blink you might see Rock Hudson playing second fiddle.
Why did they not attack the known AA positions?
Surely with all that damage he should have bailed.
WW 2 stock footage…. Used to cobble together a low budget movie to justify war all the time…. In the U.S. we don’t know how to be a country without an enemy. Now that we have no enemy…. We are at war with ourselves.
Us self glorification,..
At 23:10 look closely – 2nd man from the right is a young Rock Hudson!
Good movie, music is a little overwhelming.
I still get peeved when Hollywood war movies use American equipment to depict German equipment. This movie is using P-51Ds to stand in for Bf-109F's and Bf-109G's. Okay, I know that surplus Bf-109s are pretty scarce but I'd rather see scale models being used, as the Japanese film-makers did instead of incorrect fighter planes. This is as bad as the movie, "Battle of the Bulge", using American tanks to depict Tiger I tanks. The 1958 Korean War movie, "The Hunters", used F-94 Thunderstreaks to depict MiG-15 Soviet-built fighter jets. Groan.
Wow, I've never seen German P-51s before…lol
These bubble canopy 47's were mid 1944; we'd achieved air superiority. Do your own research; read about the Razorback 47's which did all the heavy work till spring 44 when the first P51's (B's and C's) were available. At 14:17 that is a Zero going down. Apart from over dramatization, too many of these war pics used Mustangs dressed up as Me 109's.
Excellent . . .
Judging by these films you'd think the Yanks won the war on their own
I didn't know the Germans flew mustangs. None of the footage was filmed in Europe, the geography is way off.
One of my very favorite movies, the dogfight scenes seem very real, and those P-47s best fighter ever built, in my estimation.
