Late night movie on the History Channel, "The Bridges at Toko-Ri"
Me too! One of my favorite war pictures. I loved seeing all the carrier actions with those blue F9F Panthers and that HO3 helicopter (I used to love drawing that one when I was a kid). I did notice some F2Hs on the carrier that were light grey. I am not sure that is correct color scheme for the Korean war. I read in Wiki that the F9Fs did not really bomb the bridges portrayed in the movie in that they could not carry the necessary bomb loads. They did participate in anti-aircraft suppression. Interesting note: in the book the plane used was the F2Hs Banshees.

One of the few things that was changed from the book also was Brubaker's method of bracing himself up. In the movie he stands up front and takes some sea spray, in the book he gets his face behind the large piston that is in the catapult system and tries to hold himself there while it fires back. I understand that they wanted to change the ending but Bill Holden campained to keep it the same as the book.
 
Hey all you movie watchers, check out the trailer for the new GI Joe movie and tell me what you see for a fleeting instance in the upper left corner of the screen when main villain is first shown giving a speech to his gathered minions. I would swear it's the nose of a Bf 109!
