B24 movie title search

[CTC911ctc]

I remember seeing a movie in the 60s where in the opening scene a b24 is on final with an engine or two burning, the plot was around a crew that was in biz of delivering old war birds

anyone know the name?

Jeff Chandler & Lana Turner in "The Lady Takes a Flyer" (1958)

It's been over 30 years since I last saw the movie but if I remember right the aircraft in question was a PB4Y-2 Privateer which was the single tail Navy model of the B-24
