This is a well done telling of the last mission of a WW II b-17 bomber crew who were the first to achieve 25 bombing missions over Europe. The casting is well done and I am always struck by how young the crew was, most 18 or 19. The action sequences are splendid.
John Lithgow is a bit much as a PR. officer trying to get publicity from the crew's achievement.
