It was bad, but I don't think it was as bad as Memphis Belle. What a waste of film that was. They had all those B-17s together, and even lost one in filming, all for that cornball portrayal. A singing tail gunner? A navigator fearing his number up? Hot shot co-pilot and overly motherly pilot (reversing the real life characters). Awful, awful, awful.
I'm still waiting for that "Saving Private Ryan" caliber show for the air war in WWII. Until then I'll just watch 12 O'Clock High I guess.
