Made just a few years after the war, this movie highlights the struggles of leading a bomb group and of the bombing campaign against Germany. Nominated for 4 Academy Awards, it's a pretty dang good movie. A little over 2 hours in length. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the actual combat footage as America begins the bombing campaigns to destroy Germany's industrial base in preparation for invasion.
BTW, this story is based largely on real experiences with the 306th Bomb Group. Oh, and they deliberately crash landed a B-17 for the movie. No CGI back then!
