"THE GREAT GAZOO"
I heard a rumor back in the 70s that some producers were looking to do a movie about Ploesti in the same scale as Tora, Tora, Tora and Midway, but the USAF didn't want to cooperate because it was going to make them look bad - plus the lack of B-24s didn't help.Matt - Could not possibly have a better choice of an epic and important illustration of perhaps the greates life and death drama of USAAF heavy bombers on one of the most important missions of the war -
Leon Johnson taking the 44th in with delayed action fuses going off from the 93rd just minutes earlier, gunners dueling with flak batteries and a flak train running parallel, coming home with wheat and corn stalk chaff in the bomb bays and only one more guy from the lead squadron .. 5 MoH..
Who could possibly capture that on film?
somebody tell me again about the 332nd?
