ANYTIME YOU WANT.

WENDELL?

THAT ANSWERED IT, SIR.

BOMBARDIERS.

MAJOR ROBERTS, WHAT ABOUT AMMUNITION?

NO AMMUNITION.

ARE WE TAKING BOMBSIGHTS, SIR?

WE'RE FERRYING THEM FULLY EQUIPPED

EXCEPT FOR AMMUNITION.

PILOTS, CHECK WITH MAINTENANCE ON THAT.

HARPER, YOU'LL CHECK OURS.

THAT'S IT.

THE CREWS DON'T KNOW THE DESTINATION,

SO KEEP IT QUIET.

HOW ABOUT PHONING OUR WIVES?

YOUR COPILOT JUST GOT PERMISSION

TO RADIOGRAPH LIEUTENANT McMARTIN'S SISTER

IN HONOLULU.

I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT INTEREST YOU, McMARTIN.

YES, SIR.

WE'LL MEET HERE

30 MINUTES BEFORE TAKEOFF TIME

FOR FINAL INSTRUCTIONS.

HOW'S EVERYTHING, SERGEANT?

FINE, SIR.

PUT A NEW MAGNETO ON NUMBER TWO.

THEY DIDN'T TELL ME WHERE WE'RE GOING.

THEY DIDN'T, HUH?

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

YES, SIR.

THAT'S GOOD!

CAPTAIN QUINCANNON,

PRIVATE CHESTER REPORTING, SIR--

SECOND RADIO.

SERGEANT WHITE, YOUR CREW CHIEF.

HI.

GLAD YOU'RE WITH US, CHESTER.

I'VE WANTED TO GET ON A FLYING FORTRESS

EVER SINCE RADIO SCHOOL.

WHEN WAS THAT?

THREE MONTHS AGO, SIR.

TURN HIM OVER TO PETERSON, SERGEANT.

HE CAN LOOK OVER THE RADIO SET.

YES, SIR.

PETERSON'S INSIDE, SON.

MUST BE A BIG FLIGHT-- NINE FORTRESSES.

SO THEY SAY.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE WE'RE GOING?

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

YES, SIR.

THAT'S GOOD.

HELLO.

ARE YOU THE NEW GUNNER?

NO, SECOND RADIO.

I'M WEINBERG, SECOND ENGINEER.

I'M CHESTER. GLAD TO KNOW YOU.

IS THAT WHAT SHE'S CALLED, MARY-ANN?

YES. BEST SHIP IN THE OUTFIT.

PETERSON, HERE'S YOUR NEW RADIO.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'LL SHOW YOU AROUND.

ARE YOU THE CREW CHIEF?

YEAH, MY NAME'S WHITE.

ARE YOU THE NEW GUNNER?

YEAH. JOE WINOCKI.

PUT YOUR STUFF INSIDE.

YOU'RE LUCKY.

OUR GUNNER'S ON FURLOUGH.

I WOULDN'T SAY I'M LUCKY.

LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING'S O.K.

HOW ABOUT THE COFFEE AND SANDWICHES?

GOT THEM.

I WISH WE HAD EXTRA OXYGEN.

ALREADY INSIDE THE PLANE.

HOW'D YOU DO THAT?

SIX BOTTLES.

GOT AN EXTRA ENGINE?

ALMOST ENOUGH PARTS FOR ONE.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY WIFE.

SHE SHOULD BE HERE.

WINOCKI?

HE'S OUR NEW GUNNER.

CAPTAIN QUINCANNON.

DON'T I KNOW YOU, SERGEANT?

I THINK SO, SIR.

YOU WERE AT RANDOLPH FIELD?

2 1/2 YEARS AGO.

WHILE I WAS INSTRUCTING THERE?

OH, I REMEMBER--

I THINK YOU REMEMBER.

ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?

NOT NOW, NO.

I GUESS THAT NEW RADIO MAN

IS A GOOD KID.

YEAH.

WE'RE GETTING THEM

RIGHT OFF THE BOTTLE NOW.

HOW OLD IS YOUR KID?

21.

WHERE'S HE STATIONED?

CLARK FIELD, MANILA.

JUST GOT A BOOST.

IF HE GETS ANOTHER BAR,

YOU'LL NEED A BIGGER HAT.

IMAGINE ME SALUTING MY OWN KID.

YOU'D PIN HIS EARS DOWN IF HE DIDN'T TAKE IT.

EXCUSE ME, SIR,

MY MOTHER WOULD LIKE TO MEET YOU.

SURE.

MOTHER, THIS IS CAPTAIN QUINCANNON.

HOW DO YOU DO?

MIGHTY NICE OF YOU TO SEE US OFF.

I WANTED TO MEET YOU

BECAUSE I WONDERED WHAT KIND--

TAKE CARE OF HIM.

HE'LL BE LOOKING AFTER ME.

THAT'S HOW A BOMBER CREW FUNCTIONS.

DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT CHESTER.

IT'S A ROUTINE FLIGHT.

THANKS.

GOOD-BYE.

GOOD-BYE.

I'LL WRITE TO YOU, MOM,

SO YOU'LL KNOW WHERE I AM.

DID YOU BRING THIS FOR ME?

OH.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, MOM.

DON'T WORRY, I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

GOOD-BYE, SON.

GOOD-BYE, MOM.

SEEN MRS. QUINCANNON?

NO.

I GUESS I'VE BEEN DITCHED.

GET ABOARD, CHESTER.

IRISH!

IRISH!

ABOUT TIME, MRS. QUINCANNON.

WHAT HAPPENED?

FLAT TIRE.

I WAS SCARED TO DEATH I WOULDN'T MAKE IT.

I COULDN'T BRING MICHAEL.

HE SENT YOU THIS--

AND THIS.

THANK YOU.

COULDN'T I STOW AWAY?

I'D GET COURT-MARTIALED.

I'LL BE BACK SOON.

WE'LL TAKE THAT HONEYMOON.

I REMEMBER EVERY HONEYMOON WE DIDN'T HAVE,

EVEN THE FIRST ONE.

YOU HAVEN'T GOT MUCH CHANCE

TO BE BORED WITH ME.

I NEVER GET BORED WITH YOU, IRISH.

IT'S BEEN FUN.

I GUESS I'M LUCKY.

ME, TOO.

IRISH, YOU'LL REMEMBER

TO WEAR YOUR RUBBERS IN THE RAIN?

SURE I WILL.

I'LL BE WAITING.

SO LONG, KID.

BETTER STOW THIS OVER THERE, SERGEANT.

YES, SIR.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

GET THAT LADDER ABOARD, WILL YOU, WEINBERG?

O.K.

WHAT'S THAT FOR?

YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOUR LUCK IS.

THAT'S FROM MICHAEL QUINCANNON, JR.

EVERYBODY IN?

YES, SIR.

DOORS CLOSED?

YES.

CONTROLS?

ROBERTS TO FLIGHT, CHECK'S O.K.

TWO READY.

THREE O.K.

FOUR O.K.

FIVE O.K.

EIGHT READY.

O.K., START ENGINES.

ALL SET.

WE NEED ONE SHOT, SIR.

O.K. NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER TWO.

01104 TO CONTROL TOWER.

TAKEOFF INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLIGHT OF 9 B-17s.

SIR, IS THIS A LOCAL FLIGHT?

NO.

O.K. TO TAXI UP TO NORTH END OF RAMP.

USE RUNWAY 28.

WIND WEST, 15. GO AHEAD.

ROGER.

ROBERTS TO FLIGHT.

ALL PLANES FOLLOW ME.

USE RUNWAY 28.

WIND WEST, 15 MILES.

TAKE OFF AT 30-SECOND INTERVALS.

LET'S GO.

LOOKS LIKE THEY'LL RUN ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

CHECK THE TAIL WHEEL, ROBBIE.

YES, SIR.

I'M GOING UPSTAIRS.

O.K.

DON'T GET US LOST.

WANT ANY HELP RUNNING THIS THING?

HI, TOMMY. HOW'S MONK?

KNEE-DEEP IN MAPS.

LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT YOUR DATE.

WATCH OUT, TOMMY.

HE'LL BE YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW.

SUSAN WON'T MARRY BENEATH HERSELF.

YOU CAN'T MAKE ME MAD.

TAKE A LAST LOOK.

GOOD-BYE, SAN FRANCISCO.

HELLO, HONOLULU.

THERE'S THE GOLDEN GATE.

SAN FRANCISCO'S A BIG TOWN.

STRICTLY A ONE-WHISTLE STOP.

THERE'S ONLY ONE CITY IN THE USA--

AND THAT'S NEW YORK.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH CALIFORNIA?

CALIFORNIA?

THE SUN SHINES AND NOTHING EVER HAPPENS.

NEW YORK'S NO DIFFERENT.

MY SISTER'S TRIED TO LEAVE BROOKLYN

FOR 40 YEARS.

BROOKLYN AIN'T NEW YORK.

ONCE YOU CROSS BROOKLYN BRIDGE,

YOU'VE LEFT THIS WORLD.

I KNEW SOMEONE WHO CROSSED IT IN 1929.

AIN'T HEARD FROM HIM SINCE.

I'LL TAKE MINNEAPOLIS.

MINNEAPOLIS! THAT AIN'T YOUR HOME TOWN.

THE HAYSEED'S STILL IN YOUR HAIR.

YEAH. BUT I CAN STILL MILK A COW.

I'LL GET MINE OUT OF A BOTTLE.

THAT'S THE CLOSEST I'LL GET TO A COW.

YOU'RE HANDY WITH THE BULL.

WE'RE SURE LUCKY.

WHY?

THIS WHOLE TRIP.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

A MILLION FELLOWS

WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BE HERE.

WHY?

NOT JUST THIS FLIGHT,

BUT EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

HOW FAR DO YOU THINK YOU'LL GET

AS AN ENLISTED MAN?

LOOK AT THE TRAINING YOU GET.

IF YOU DON'T GO THROUGH FLYING SCHOOL,

YOU DON'T RATE.

WHAT ARE YOU IN IT FOR?

I'M GETTING OUT NEXT MONTH.

YOU'RE GETTING OUT?

YEP.

WELL, I'M NOT.

STICK TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN.

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM.

WHAT'LL YOU BE IN 20 YEARS, SERGEANT,

A BRIGADIER?

NO, BUT MY BOY IS.

WE LIKE THE AIR CORPS.

STAY IN THE BOX, SON, AND KEEP ON PITCHING.

YEAH.

COMING UP FORWARD, KID?

YEAH.

KEEP RIGHT ON PITCHING.

EVERYBODY ALL RIGHT?

FINE.

COFFEE, CAPTAIN?

PLEASE.

THANKS, SERGEANT.

YES, SIR.

YOU WANT SOME COFFEE, WINOCKI?

NO, THANKS.

HOW'S IT GOING?

ALL RIGHT, SIR.

I WANT TO TALK WITH YOU.

CAN I TALK, TOO?

SURE.

I WANT TO GET THINGS STRAIGHT WITH YOU.

I'M STRAIGHT. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU.

I KNOW WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU.

YOU WANTED TO FLY, DIDN'T YOU?

WHO DOESN'T?

YOU BLEW YOUR CHANCE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.

NO, YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT.

WHEN THE GOING GOT TOUGH--

YOU THREW ME UP FOR GRABS.

RUNNING INTO DRISCOLL'S PLANE WAS AN ACCIDENT--

FOR WHICH YOU WASHED ME OUT OF THE SCHOOL.

THE BOARD WASHED YOU OUT.

ON YOUR RECOMMENDATION.

YOU LACKED FLYING ABILITY,

YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN ELIMINATED SOONER.

NOBODY HOLDS YOU RESPONSIBLE

FOR DRISCOLL'S DEATH.

EXCEPT YOU.

NOT ME EITHER.

TWO OTHER MEN ON THIS SHIP WASHED OUT AS PILOTS--

McMARTIN'S A BOMBARDIER, HAUSER'S A NAVIGATOR.

THEY'RE BOTH GOOD.

YOU'RE A GOOD GUNNER.

WE NEED YOU, JUST LIKE WE NEED THE WHOLE GANG.

IT TAKES ALL OF US TO MAKE THIS SHIP FUNCTION.

WE"" ALL "" BELONG TO THIS AIRPLANE.

EVERY MAN RELIES ON EVERY OTHER MAN TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

YOU'VE PLAYED FOOTBALL, WINOCKI.

YOU'LL PLAY BALL WITH US,

OR I'LL HAVE TO GET RID OF YOU.

NICE SPEECH, BUT MY ENLISTMENT RUNS OUT SOON.

YOU'RE QUITTING, HUH?

YES, SIR.

THAT'S YOUR PRIVILEGE,

BUT UNTIL THEN, YOU'RE STILL IN THE ARMY.

YES, SIR.

I'M SORRY FOR YOU, WINOCKI.

ANYTHING ELSE?

THAT'S ALL.

PETERSON, IF YOU WANT ENTERTAINMENT,

TUNE IN ON THE BROADCAST FREQUENCIES.

I'LL STAY ON THE COMMAND CENTER.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU.

SAN FRANCISCO. MR. LITVINOV,

RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED STATES,

WEATHER REPORT FROM HICKAM FIELD,SIR.

GET A GOOD SLEEP, CHESTER?

NOT MUCH, SIR.

I DIDN'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING.

HOW'S THE KID, SERGEANT?

FINE, SIR.

HE LIKES THE SHIP.

MARY-ANN LIKES HIM.

HOW ABOUT WINOCKI?

CAN'T MAKE HIM OUT.

NO, SIR.

THANKS, CHESTER.

SIR, ISN'T THAT A PICTURE

OF CAPTAIN MONK HAUSER?

YEAH.

WHY, THAT'S--

MY FATHER.

I'M DUMB. I SHOULD'VE REALIZED.

THERE'S NOT MUCH RESEMBLANCE, I GUESS.

SURE THERE IS.

I'VE SEEN HIM IN A BOOK I GOT.

YEAH.

GEE, HE COULD SURE FLY.

YEAH.

WISH I COULD FLY LIKE HIM.

IT WON'T BE LONG

BEFORE YOU SEE DIAMOND HEAD

STICKING OUT OF THAT OCEAN.

SEE WHAT YOU WANT.

I USED TO DREAM ABOUT GOING SOMEPLACE

WHERE A GUY WOULD HAVE SOME ELBOWROOM.

THIS IS OVERDOING IT.

2,000 MILES AND NO SIGN OF FISH.

IT'S LIKE BEING ON THE PRAIRIES.

I THOUGHT THERE'S NOTHING WEST OF MANHATTAN

EXCEPT JERSEY.

I COULD USE SOME COFFEE.

YOU KNOW WHO THE NAVIGATOR'S FATHER WAS?

SURE. MONK HAUSER.

WHO'S THAT?

HOW OLD WERE YOU IN THE WAR?

OLDER THAN YOU.

YOU NEVER HEARD OF HIM?

NO.

WAS THAT LIEUTENANT HAUSER'S FATHER?

THAT'S HIM.

I KNEW HIM.

[MORSE CODE BEEPING]

HE WAS PLENTY GOOD.

YEAH. WHY AIN'T HIS KID A PILOT?

TRIED TOO HARD.

LIKE MANY OTHERS.

THAT'S FUNNY.

HICKAM RADIO WENT OFF

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A WEATHER REPORT.

MAYBE IT FADED OUT.

IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE IT.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[GUNFIRE]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[GUNFIRE]

WHAT IS IT?

WAIT.

WHO HAVE YOU TUNED IN, ORSON WELLES?

SHUT UP.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

BETTER TELL THE CAPTAIN.

RADIO OPERATOR TO PILOT.

RADIO OPERATOR TO PILOT.

GO AHEAD.

SIR, HICKAM'S OFF THE AIR.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[GUNFIRE]

[AIRPLANES ROAR]

WHAT'S THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

[GUNFIRE]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

CHINESE?

NO, JAPS.

WE'RE BEING ATTACKED BY ENEMY AIRCRAFT.

WE'RE BEING ATTACKED.

LAND ELSEWHERE!

ROBERTS TO FLIGHT.

WE'RE GOING INTO EMERGENCY FIELDS.

I'LL TAKE THE ONE FURTHEST NORTH.

NUMBER NINE, FURTHEST SOUTH,

THE REST OF YOU, IN BETWEEN.

GET ON THE GROUND AND STAY THERE.

PETERSON, SEND THE CREW CHIEF

UP HERE RIGHT AWAY.

GET THE RUBBER BOATS READY.

PASS OUT .45s AND AMMUNITION.

WHERE TO, MONK?

TURN TO 120 DEGREES.

O.K., 120 DEGREES SHE IS.

[GUNFIRE]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

WISH WE WERE THERE.

IF WE ONLY HAD MACHINE GUN LOADS.

I'LL HEAVE A WRENCH AT THOSE MONKEYS.

GET THE RUBBER BOATS READY.

PASS OUT SIDEARMS.

YES, SIR.

TELL EVERYBODY TO KEEP THEIR EYES OPEN.

PUT YOUR LIFE VESTS ON.

KEEP A WATCH UPSTAIRS, KID.

PUT YOUR LIFE VESTS ON.

IS THIS ON THE LEVEL?

YOU GUESS.

WINOCKI, PUT YOUR VEST ON.

RELAX, THIS IS A DRILL.

PERSONALLY, I WOULDN'T CARE

IF YOU LEFT IT OFF.

THANKS, BRIGADIER.

NAVIGATOR TO PILOT.

CHANGE COURSE TO 135.

WE'LL LAND IN 22 MINUTES.

RIGHT. 135.

THIS ONE REALLY IS SMALLER

THAN A POSTAGE STAMP.

THAT'S ABOUT IT.

LOOKS LIKE IT HERE.

HOLD IT THERE.

WILL IT WORK?

IT'LL HOLD, SIR.

MY MESSY LANDING CAUSED THIS.

THIS FIELD WASN'T BUILT FOR MARY ANN

CAPTAIN, SOMETHING'S MOVING OVER IN THE BRUSH.

WHY, IT'S THE LIEUTENANTS.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE HAD A TRIP.

WE DID.

HERE'S THE WATER.

FIND THE OTHER FIELD?

YEAH. NO AMMUNITION THERE EITHER.

TWO OF OUR FLIGHT ARE THERE.

BOTH ARE O.K.

THAT ACCOUNTS FOR EVERYONE THEN.

TWO LA AT MOLOKAI.

ROBERTS AND THE REST MADE HICKAM.

NOBODY WAS HURT.

HEARD ANYTHING ELSE?

NOTHING.

SOUND BAD AT HICKAM?

DOESN'T SOUND GOOD.

WE HAD TROUBLE OURSELVES.

WHAT?

SOME MEN IN THE CANE FIELD

STARTED SHOOTING AT US.

LOCAL JAPS-- FRIENDLY FELLOWS.

I THINK WE LOST THEM.

I HOPE SO.

BACK TO YOUR BOMBSIGHT.

YEAH.

STEP ON IT!

[GUNFIRE]

DOUSE THAT LIGHT!

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

WINOCKI, CUT IT OUT!

KNOCK THESE LOGS AWAY.

ALL RIGHT, SHOVE!

EVERYBODY IN THE SHIP!

[GUNFIRE]

I HOPE WE GET OUT.

WE GOT IN.

HEY, THEY AIN'T KIDDING.

DID YOU SEE THAT BUMBLEBEE?

LOCK THEM.

LOCKED.

CHECK THE TANKS

AND SEE IF THEY'VE BEEN HIT.

YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. LET ME ALONE.

ALL RIGHT.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

I OWE YOU ONE.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU HAVE GOTTEN?

THEY'D HAVE CUT YOU DOWN OUT THERE.

INSTEAD, YOU DID.

A FEW SHOTS IN THE RIGHT PLACE

COULD HAVE SET THIS SHIP AFIRE.

WINOCKI, STOP TRYING TO PROVE SOMETHING.

MY JOB IS TAILGUNNER.

WHAT'S YOURS? LECTURING?

NO, MY JOB IS TO KEEP THIS THING FLYING.

O5564 TO HICKAM FIELD.

05564 TO HICKAM FIELD.

SHUT OFF YOUR RADIO!

STAY WHERE YOU ARE!

JUST CLEARED FIELD-- HAVE TO COME NOW.

O.K. CALL JUST BEFORE YOU ARRIVE.

ROGER.

PILOT TO CREW,

LOOK AT PEARL HARBOR.

IT'S SOMETHING YOU'LL WANT TO REMEMBER.

DAMN THEM.

DAMN THEM!

NOW AIN'T YOU GLAD YOU'RE GETTING OUT OF THE ARMY?

05564 TO HICKAM.

APPROACHING FIELD FROM THE SOUTH FOR LANDING.

CAN'T GIVE YOU LIGHTS.

ROGER.

TAKE THE WEST SIDE.

WATCH FOR BOMB CRATERS.

GOOD LUCK.

ROGER. PILOT TO CREW,

FASTEN YOUR SAFETY BELTS--

MIGHT BE A ROUGH LANDING.

ALL SET.

ALL CHECKED FOR LANDING.

GIVE ME FULL FLAPS.

FLAPS COMING DOWN.

LANDING LIGHTS.

LIGHTS.

AIR SPEED, 110.

100.

CAPTAIN QUINCANNON, SIR.

HOW ARE YOU, CAPTAIN?

YOU WERE TOLD TO STAY PUT.

WE WERE BEING SHOT AT BY SNIPERS.

WE DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE THE AIRPLANE.

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

WE'VE GOT OUR TROUBLES HERE, TOO.

YES, SIR.

THEY CERTAINLY DID A COMPLETE JOB.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE P-40s?

THREE VEGETABLE TRUCKS ARRIVED FROM HONOLULU.

WHEN THE FIRST JAP PLANES SHOWED,

THE TRUCKS SMASHED THE TAILS OFF EVERY SHIP ON LINE.

WHICH ONE OF YOU IS McMARTIN?

ME, SIR.

YOU'RE WANTED AT THE HOSPITAL.

MY SISTER?

SHE ASKED FOR WILLIAMS AND QUINCANNON, TOO.

WE WANT YOUR SHIP SERVICED IMMEDIATELY.

ANY REPAIRS NEEDED?

THERE'S A WHEEL TO BE CHECKED.

THESE MEN WILL HELP.

SERGEANT, YOU HEARD THE COLONEL.

ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?

WHO'S YOUR NAVIGATOR?

LIEUTENANT HAUSER.

I HAVE A JOB FOR YOU.

BEG YOUR PARDON, SIR.

HELLO, SERGEANT.

DID THEY ATTACK CLARK FIELD, MANILA?

MY BOY'S THERE.

YES, THEY HIT IT.

HIT EVERYTHING IN THE PACIFIC--

GUAM, WAKE, MIDWAY.

I REMEMBER YOUR BOY.

HE'S A FIRST LIEUTENANT,

FLIGHT COMMANDER.

HE'S A GOOD PILOT THEN. DON'T WORRY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

FELLOWS, WE GOT WORK TO DO.

MISS McMARTIN?

RIGHT DOWN THAT WAY.

I CAN'T SEE.

IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

BUT I CAN'T SEE.

I CAN'T SEE.

LIEUTENANT McMARTIN,

YOU CAN ONLY STAY A FEW MINUTES.

SURE.

SUE.

HELLO, KID.

WHY, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU BOYS.

I WAS KIND OF SCARED,

ACTED LIKE A NINNY.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER YOU HAD A FLAT TIRE

OR COULDN'T FIND THE PLACE.

OH, TOMMY, BILL, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

GOD, IT HURTS WHEN I CRY.

DON'T, SUE.

I WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT...

I GUESS I'M KIND OF TIRED.

HE'LL TELL YOU.

WHO?

TEX. TEX RAIDER.

DON'T GET MAD ANYMORE.

IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

HE TRIED GETTING ME OUT OF THE CAR, BUT...

I GUESS HE'D BETTER TELL YOU.

SURE.

WILL YOU COME IN THE MORNING?

YOU BET.

GOOD NIGHT.

SERGEANT, WHERE CAN WE FIND LIEUTENANT RAIDER?

THIS WAY.

RAIDER.

RAIDER.

OH, HELLO, TOMMY.

HOW ARE YOU, BILL?

I GUESS I WENT TO SLEEP.

WE JUST CAME FROM THE HOSPITAL.

SUPPOSE YOU DO A LITTLE EXPLAINING.

WHAT IS THIS, THE THIRD DEGREE?

SHE SAID IT WASN'T HIS FAULT.

IT WAS MY FAULT.

I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HER OUT OF THE CAR.

I BOUGHT IT FOR THE PARTY.

WE WERE STARTING OUT

WHEN THE FIRST PLANES CAME OVER.

UP EARLY, WEREN'T YOU?

RAIDER, GO AHEAD.

WE SPOTTED THE PLANES AND HEARD THE BOMBS.

I TOLD SUSAN TO HOP OUT AND GET UNDER COVER.

GO ON.

A TRUCK BLOCKED THE ROAD AHEAD OF US.

IT WAS A DELIVERY TRUCK FROM HONOLULU.

I THOUGHT THE DRIVER HAD BEEN HIT.

THEN THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION IN FRONT OF ME.

THERE WAS A JAP BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH A SHOTGUN.

I HIT HIM AND MOVED THE TRUCK.

WAS SUSAN ALL RIGHT THEN?

YEAH, BUT THAT'S WHEN I SHOULD HAVE MADE HER GET OUT.

SHE TOOK THE WHEEL

AND DROVE ACROSS THE FIELD TOWARD THE HANGAR.

HOW DID SHE GET HURT THEN?

MACHINE GUN.

A SOLDIER WAS KILLED SAVING HER.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING?

YOU'RE NOT HURT ANY.

NOW LISTEN, WAIT A MINUTE!

IF I STAY HERE, I'LL...

YOU GUYS DON'T THINK--

SEE YOU.

YOU WANTED TO SEE ME, COLONEL?

HOW IS YOUR SISTER, McMARTIN?

PRETTY WEAK, SIR.

THE SURGEON SAYS IT'S HARD TO TELL YET.

I'M GOING OVER IN THE MORNING.

I'M AFRAID NOT.

THIS PLANE LEAVES BEFORE DAYLIGHT FOR MANILA.

WE'RE SAFE HERE, BUT THE PHILIPPINES ARE IN BAD SHAPE.

WE'RE SENDING AS MANY B-17s AS POSSIBLE.

WHERE DO WE REFUEL?

WAKE ISLAND.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'LL FIND THERE.

YOU GOT THE CHARTS THERE?

YES, SIR.

HOW DID THE ENGINES REV UP, SERGEANT?

NUMBER-THREE ENGINE'S A LITTLE ROUGH.

WE'LL OVERHAUL IT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

WE'RE TAKING OFF IN TWO HOURS.

YOU'LL SEE THAT SON OF YOURS SOON.

MANILA? WE'LL HAVE THAT ENGINE RUNNING IN 90 MINUTES.

WE'LL MAKE IT ALL RIGHT, SIR.

TAKE OFF WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.

TELL YOUR PASSENGER I'LL HAVE PAPERS FOR HIM.

WHAT PASSENGER?

MANILA NEEDS A PILOT.

YOU'RE TAKING ONE ALONG--

HE'S ONE OF THREE FIGHTERS

THAT GOT OFF THE GROUND THIS MORNING.

KNOCKED OFF FOUR JAPS BEFORE THEY SHOT HIM DOWN.

GOOD LUCK AGAIN.

THANK YOU, SIR.

LOOKS LIKE YOU TWO FELLOWS TALKED OUT OF TURN.

GO AND RUSTLE UP SOME GRUB FOR THE CREW.

YES, SIR.

JAVA, LIEUTENANT?

NO. YOU MUST HAVE A PLANTATION IN BRAZIL.

MAYBE YOU'LL WANT SOME LATER.

IS THIS HERE WAKE ISLAND?

YEAH.

HOW FAR IS IT?

IT'S ABOUT 2,300 MILES FROM HONOLULU.

WE'RE LANDING ON THAT DOT?

YEAH.

I WISH THERE WAS SOME TRAFFIC SIGNS AROUND,

LIKE NUMBERS AND STREETS.

THEY CALL THEM LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES.

THEY'RE JUST LIKE SIGNS?

YEAH, IF THE WIND DOESN'T CHANGE THEM.

LIEUTENANT, HOW ARE WE DOING?

YOU'RE THE FIFTH GUY TO ASK THAT.

WE'LL HIT WAKE ALL RIGHT.

YES, SIR. I WAS JUST ASKING.

TIME TO RELIEVE THE KID, MINNESOTA.

O.K.

WANT ANYTHING, LIEUTENANT?

I'D LIKE TO GET OUT OF THIS BOXCAR.

MARY-ANN AIN'T NO BOXCAR.

MARY-ANN?

THERE AIN'T A BETTER AIRPLANE AROUND.

MAYBE, IF YOU MEAN BOMBERS.

ANY AIRPLANE.

I'LL TAKE A PURSUIT SHIP FOR MINE.

YOU CAN TAKE PURSUIT--

YES, SIR.

THAT'S MY LAST APPLE.

DON'T LEAVE IT LAYING AROUND.

THERE'S A PURSUIT PILOT BACK THERE.

HOW ARE WE DOING?

EVERY 15 MINUTES SOMEBODY COMES DOWN HERE

TO FIND OUT IF I'LL GET THIS AIRPLANE LOST!

I'M GETTING SICK OF--

I'M SORRY, SERGEANT.

I'M A LITTLE ON EDGE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S HOW YOUR OLD MAN WOULD HAVE TOLD ME OFF.

YEAH, I GUESS SO.

HOW ARE WE DOING?

WE'LL HIT WAKE RIGHT ON THE NOSE.

SURE WE WILL, SIR.

WHAT IF THE JAPS TAKE WAKE ISLAND

BEFORE WE GET THERE?

I WISH YOU'D CONTROL THAT IMAGINATION OF YOURS.

WE'RE NOT AT WAR.

WE'RE NOT?

IT HASN'T BEEN DECLARED.

THEM JAPS, THEY SMEAR PEARL HARBOR, SMACK MANILA,

RAID WAKE, GUAM, AND MIDWAY,

AND STILL THERE AIN'T NO WAR.

THEY SEND SOME GENTS TO WASHINGTON

WITH AN OLIVE WREATH FOR THE PRESIDENT.

YOU JUST WAIT UNTIL UNCLE SAM GETS MAD.

I THINK I'LL GET SLIGHTLY ANNOYED IN THE MEANTIME.

I DIDN'T EXPECT IT OF YOU.

[BEEP-BEEP-BEEP]

MESSAGE COMING THROUGH, SIR, AND GOOD NEWS.

[BEEP-BEEP-BEEP]

THANKS, PETERSON.

HEY, YOU GUYS, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

THAT'S WONDERFUL.

SHE MUST BE O.K., HUH?

SURE, SHE IS.

I FEEL A LOT BETTER.

ME, TOO.

BETTER SHOW IT TO OUR PASSENGER.

THE POOR GUY MUST BE WORRYING.

LET HIM WORRY.

AREN'T YOU BEING A LITTLE TOUGH?

I HAVEN'T KICKED HIM YET.

ARE YOU JEALOUS?

WELL, MAYBE I AM.

PETERSON, ASK LIEUTENANT RAIDER TO COME UP FRONT.

LOOK, STAY OUT OF ARGUMENTS.

WE DIDN'T START THEM.

THE GUY HAS BEEN SHOOTING OFF HIS FACE AGAINST BIG AIRPLANES.

HE DOESN'T KNOW ANY BETTER.

JUST QUIT ARGUING.

YOU'LL BE BETTER OFF.

O.K., CAPTAIN.

SOMEBODY WANTED TO SEE ME?

YEAH, WE GOT GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.

BOY, THAT IS GOOD NEWS.

OH, SHE'S A SWELL KID.

TEX, WE WERE ALL PRETTY UPSET LAST NIGHT.

IF WE SAID ANYTHING OUT OF LINE...

OH, FORGET IT.

WE'VE HAD OUR ARGUMENTS

ABOUT THESE BIG BOMBERS AND YOUR PEASHOOTERS.

FORGET IT. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF OPINION.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE YESTERDAY AT HICKAM?

AN AWFUL MESS. WE WEREN'T READY.

HOW GOOD ARE THOSE JAPS?

THEY'RE GOOD WHEN THEY GOT THE EDGE.

THEY DON'T LIKE AN EVEN FIGHT.

WE HEARD YOU DID A SWELL JOB.

HOW COME ALL THEIR CARRIERS GOT AWAY?

WE DIDN'T EVEN GET A BOMBER OFF.

IT'S NOT THE BOMBER'S FAULT!

YOU'RE AWFUL TOUCHY ABOUT THESE CRATES.

HOLD IT! GO AHEAD, MONK.

THE WIND'S SHIFTED. YOU BETTER MAKE IT 244.

O.K., 244.

THAT'S A NEW FLIGHT CONTROL?

YEAH, IT'S BETTER THAN THE OLD TYPE.

WHY DON'T YOU FLY HER?

NO, LOOKS LIKE SHE'S FLYING HERSELF.

SHE IS NOW, YEAH.

SHE'S NOT FLYING FAST.

SHE'LL OUTFLY YOUR PURSUIT SHIPS UP HIGH.

WHAT WILL A P-40 DO AT 30,000?

WE'D RUN AWAY AND HIDE ON YOU.

IF YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE, I'LL PROVE SOMETHING, O.K.?

GO AHEAD.

JUST THREE MINUTES AND NO INTERRUPTIONS.

THE NAVIGATOR GAVE YOU A COURSE.

YOU TURN A KNOB, YOU'RE ON IT.

THAT GADGET'S ALMOST AS GOOD AS YOUR BOMBSIGHT.

YOU CALL THE SIGHT "THE BRAIN."

THIS IS A MECHANICAL BRAIN, TOO.

IT'S DOING THE THINKING NOW.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT IT?

THEY'LL GIVE COMMISSIONS TO THESE MECHANICAL BRAINS

IN THE BOMBERS.

THEY'LL TURN OUT BOMBER PILOTS

ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE.

WE PURSUIT PILOTS

WILL SEE THESE MECHANIZED FREIGHT TRAINS COMING.

YOU TELL THAT THING, "DROP A LOAD ON THE ENEMY."

"YES, SIR, I'LL TELL CAPTAIN BOMBSIGHT NOW."

"WHERE'S YOUR PILOTS?"

"ON THE GROUND. WE DON'T NEED THEM."

VERY FUNNY.

SERIOUSLY, THESE BIG CRATES ARE ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT IN ANY AIRPLANE

THAT MORE THAN ONE MAN CAN RIDE IN.

I DON'T WANT TO DEPEND ON OTHER GUYS.

IN A PURSUIT SHIP,

YOU DON'T WAIT FOR ORDERS FROM A GUY WHO CAN'T FLY

THEY CALL A BOMBARDIER.

"WHERE TO?" SAYS THE IRISHMAN.

YOU SAY, "GO A FEW BLOCKS,

THROW AN EGG OUT THE WINDOW, AND RUN."

I WOULDN'T FLY THIS IF THEY MADE ME A BRIGADIER.

RADIO TO PILOT.

THE PRESIDENT'S ON THE SHORT WAVE, SIR.

GET BELOW AND GRAB SOME HEADPHONES.

TAKE THAT PURSUIT PILOT WITH YOU.

DO I HAVE TO?

DROP HIM OUT IF YOU GET A CHANCE.

[PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT] THE ATTACK YESTERDAY

ON THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

HAS CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE

TO AMERICAN NAVAL AND MILITARY FORCES.

I REGRET TO TELL YOU THAT MANY AMERICAN LIVES

HAVE BEEN LOST.

BUT ALWAYS WILL OUR WHOLE NATION

REMEMBER THE CHARACTER OF THE ONSLAUGHT AGAINST US.

[APPLAUSE]

I HOPE HE SAYS SOMETHING

ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES.

MY BOY'S AT CLARK FIELD.

NO MATTER HOW LONG IT MAY TAKE US

TO OVERCOME THIS PREMEDITATED INVASION,

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN THEIR RIGHTEOUS MIGHT,

WILL WIN THROUGH TO ABSOLUTE VICTORY.

[APPLAUSE]

WE WILL NOT ONLY

DEFEND OURSELVES TO THE UTTERMOST,

BUT WILL MAKE IT VERY CERTAIN

THAT THIS FORM OF TREACHERY

SHALL NEVER AGAIN ENDANGER US.

WITH CONFIDENCE IN OUR ARMED FORCES,

WITH THE UNBOUNDING DETERMINATION OF OUR PEOPLE,

WE WILL GAIN THE INEVITABLE TRIUMPH,

SO HELP US GOD.

I ASK THAT THE CONGRESS DECLARE

A STATE OF WAR.

[APPLAUSE]

PICK UP ANYTHING FROM WAKE ISLAND?

PILOT TO NAVIGATOR.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, MONK?

GO ANOTHER 10 MINUTES AND THEN TURN EAST.

O.K.

THERE SHE IS, DEAD AHEAD.

GOOD GUESSING, MONK.

AW, SHUT UP.

MAGELLAN!

PILOT TO CREW, WAKE ISLAND AHEAD.

HEY, WAKE ISLAND IN SIGHT!

BOY, WHAT A NAVIGATOR!

THERE'S NOTHING HERE BUT MARINES.

WHERE DID YOU GUYS COME FROM?

HICKAM FIELD.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

MANILA.

GANGWAY, MEN, COMING IN.

I'M MAJOR DANIELS, COMMANDING.

QUINCANNON.

MEET LIEUTENANTS WILLIAMS, McMARTIN, AND RAIDER.

THIS IS LIEUTENANT HAUSER, OUR NAVIGATOR.

GOT TO PUT HIM IN A GLASS CASE IN A MUSEUM.

GOOD JOB, HAUSER.

THE ISLAND LOOKED GOOD TO ME.

ME, TOO!

IT LOOKS BETTER THAN ANY TIME SINCE MONDAY.

YOU MEAN SUNDAY, SIR.

[MAJOR DANIELS] YOU'VE CROSSED THE DATE LINE.

HE'S A PURSUIT PILOT.

THEY DON'T GET AROUND VERY MUCH.

COULD WE BUNK DOWN FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS?

IN 6 HOURS, YOU'LL BE 5 1/2 HOURS OUT OF HERE.

WITH OUR BEACONS, THE JAPS DON'T HAVE TO WAIT!

MY ORDERS ARE TO GET YOU OUT IN 20 MINUTES.

20 MINUTES?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, SERGEANT?

WE'RE HALFWAY TO MANILA NOW.

WE'LL MAKE IT THE REST OF THE WAY.

I COULD USE SOME HELP.

TAKE ALL THE MEN YOU NEED.

YOU FIVE MEN COME WITH ME,

I WANT THE COWLING OFF THE ENGINE.

OUR AIR FORCE COMMANDER, MAJOR BAGLEY,

WANTS TO SEE YOU.

YES, SIR.

THEY GOT THE ARIZONA?

YES, HICKAM FIELD WAS HIT AS BAD AS PEARL HARBOR.

WE GOT PRACTICALLY NOTHING OFF THE GROUND.

I'VE STUDIED ALL THE WARS OF HISTORY, GENTLEMEN.

I'VE NEVER COME ACROSS ANY DIRTY TREACHERY LIKE THAT.

HOW MANY AIRPLANES HAVE YOU GOT?

A WEEK AGO, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY.

A FEW DAYS AGO, THEY FLEW IN 12 FIGHTERS.

EIGHT WERE DESTROYED

ON THE GROUND FOLLOWING PATROL.

ONLY FOUR LEFT?

ONLY TWO.

ONE OF THOSE CAN'T FLY.

THOSE FOUR GRUMMANS TOOK ON 60 NIPS TODAY.

SHOT DOWN PLENTY.

HOGAN AND INGERSOLL GOT THEIRS.

I THINK YOU KNEW THEM.

YEAH. YEAH. YEAH.

I SUPPOSE THE JAPS WILL BE BACK.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

WE GOT A LAD

WHO WILL TAKE THEM ALL ON SINGLE-HANDED!

LIEUTENANT ROSE.

BUDDY ROSE?

YOU GUYS REMEMBER ROSE.

EVERYBODY KIDDED HIM ABOUT HIS SIZE,

A LITTLE BITTY SQUIRT ABOUT THAT HIGH.

WE KNEW HIM.

I'D LIKE TO SALUTE HIM.

COULD WE TALK TO HIM?

HE NEEDS REST.

WE MAY HAVE TO ROUST HIM OUT ANY MINUTE.

AND HE HASN'T HAD MUCH OF A CHANCE TO SLEEP.

SHIP'S READY, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, SERGEANT.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

GO OUT AND BLAST THE JAPS.

TEACH THEM THAT TREACHERY CAN'T WIN,

NO MATTER HOW MUCH OF A HEAD START IT HAS.

YOU YOUNG FELLOWS WILL DO THAT.

WE'RE ONLY FIGHTING A DELAYING ACTION HERE.

YOU CAN'T HOLD OUT?

MY 400 MARINES ARE FIGHTING MAD.

SOME JAP TAIL FEATHERS WILL BE FLYING.

MAJOR BAGLEY, CAN'T WE FLY YOU OUT?

YOU AND THE REST OF THE WOUNDED?

NO, I'M NOT WORTH

MY WEIGHT IN GASOLINE.

ME OR ANYBODY ELSE.

THEY NEED YOUR SHIP IN MANILA.

GET IT THERE.

YES, SIR.

IF YOU SEE GENERAL MacARTHUR,

TELL HIM NO MATTER WHAT THE NEWS IS...

WE'LL BE PITCHING TILL THEY STRIKE US OUT.

YES, SIR, WE WILL.

I'LL SEE YOU ALL.

SEE YOU, MAJOR.

GOOD LUCK.

SHOULD WE TAKE HIM WITH US?

HE WOULDN'T LEAVE THIS ISLAND OF PARADISE,

NO MATTER WHAT.

HERE'S ONE FOR THE WIFE.

AND ONE FOR THE KID.

DON'T LOSE THEM, SOLDIER.

DON'T WORRY.

I WANTED TO LEAVE A LETTER FOR THE CLIPPER.

SHE GOT AWAY YESTERDAY.

THE CREW WANTED TO STAY HERE AND FIGHT.

TAKE CARE OF THIS ONE.

O.K.

WE DON'T WANT TRIPOLI TO GET HURT.

HE AIN'T NO PEDIGREE, BUT HE CAN FIGHT.

HE'D TACKLE A JAP THREE TIMES HIS SIZE.

I WISH I COULD, BUT I CAN'T.

JUST GIVE HIM TO THE MARINES IN MANILA.

BUT...

COME ON. YOU GOT TO GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

IT'S AGAINST REGULATIONS, PAL.

I CAN'T TAKE THAT DOG ALONG.

YOU COULD GET ME BUSTED.

HE'S TRAINED, TOO. DO YOU LIKE MR. MOTO?

[ARF ARF]

AIN'T THAT CUTE, WINOCKI?

HE'S SMART, ALL RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

GEE, I'D LIKE TO, HONEST, BUT...

AW, GEE, HERE GOES MY PROMOTION.

THAT'S A GOOD FELLA.

DUCK. HERE THEY COME.

GOOD-BYE, SIR.

ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU IN MANILA?

YOU MIGHT SEND US MORE JAPS.

GOOD LUCK, MEN.

CAN'T YOU SLEEP?

NO, I KEEP THINKING OF THOSE MARINES ON WAKE.

THEY HAVEN'T GOT A PRAYER, IRISH.

I KNOW THEY HAVEN'T.

THEY'LL HAVE FUN BEFORE ANYBODY GETS ON THAT ISLAND.

YEAH.

SHH! SHH! [GRRR]

HOW ARE THINGS, SERGEANT?

OH, I'M KIND OF... [GRRR]

WHAT THE...

WHY, IT'S A DOG!

WHO BELONGS TO THIS?

[ARF]

IS THAT YOUR DOG?

NO, IT AIN'T.

WHAT KIND OF CREW CHIEF DO YOU THINK I AM?

WHO PUT HIM ON BOARD?

MAYBE HE JUST WALKED ON.

AND TIED HIMSELF IN A SACK?

WHO DID IT? YOU, WEINBERG?

MAYBE THE MARINES DONE IT.

THEY HAD A DOG NAMED TRIPOLI.

TALK FAST! HE HAD A CUTE TRICK.

LET'S SEE IF THIS IS HIM.

TRIPOLI, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MR. MOTO?

[ARF ARF]

[ARF ARF]

MOTO!

IT'S THE SAME DOG!

I KNOW YOU BROUGHT HIM ON BOARD.

ME?

YOU'LL GET BUSTED FOR THIS.

ASK ME, SERGEANT.

HUH?

I DID IT.

YOU?

YEAH, ME.

YOU OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER, WINOCKI.

WHY?

IT'S AGAINST REGULATIONS.

YOU KNOW WHY THIS DOG IS HERE.

HE HAD THE SAME CHANCE

AS THOSE MARINES ON WAKE.

GO AHEAD, REPORT ME.

I'VE BEEN BUSTED BEFORE.

I DID IT!

SHUT UP! I'M GETTING SORE.

WE'RE GETTING KICKED ALL OVER THE PLACE

AND YOU'RE YAPPING ABOUT REGULATIONS!

YOU'RE CHANGING YOUR TUNE.

I'D LIKE TO DO SOME CHASING MYSELF.

GO ON, TELL THEM!

I'VE HALF A MIND--

[ARF]

COME HERE.

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

PIPE DOWN.

[GRRR]

[ARF ARF]

[ARF ARF]

HEY, LOOK WHAT'S HERE.

WHAT IS THIS, SERGEANT, NOAH'S ARK?

WHO BROUGHT HIM ON THIS AIRPLANE?

HE COULD HAVE JUMPED ON.

YEAH, BUT HE DIDN'T.

YOU KNOW IT'S AGAINST REGULATIONS.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHO DID IT.

NO, SIR.

WE CAN'T VERY WELL THROW HIM OUT NOW.

WE COULD TAKE CARE OF HIM.

WE CAN?

WHO LIKES DOGS?

WINOCKI AND WEINBERG LIKE DOGS, SIR.

THEY COULD TAKE CARE OF HIM.

SERGEANT, YOU TELL THEM.

YES, SIR.

IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH ON YOU.

WE CAN FIX THAT.

HE'S CUTE.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

I THINK THEY CALL HIM TRIPOLI.

AND HE DON'T LIKE JAPS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MOTO?

[ARF ARF ARF]

SO YOU DON'T LIKE MOTO.

WHAT IS THIS, A FLYING DOGHOUSE?

HE DOESN'T LIKE PURSUIT PILOTS.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

MOTO.

HIYA, MOTO.

[ARF]

HEY, MOTO, BE NICE, MOTO.

[ARF]

HE DOESN'T LIKE ME.

TRIPOLI, YOU'LL BE USEFUL AROUND HERE.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM.

YES, SIR.

DID YOU TELL THEM HOW TRIPOLI GOT ABOARD?

NO.

YOU DIDN'T?

I'M TELLING YOU TO TAKE CARE OF HIM.

PILOT TO CREW, WE'RE GOING TO 20,000.

BETTER CHECK YOUR OXYGEN.

THERE YOU ARE, TRIPOLI.

HE SEEMS TO LIKE IT ALL RIGHT.

HE AIN'T PUTTING UP NO KICK.

JUST LIKE A BABY ON A BOTTLE.

05564 TO CLARK FIELD.

05564 TO CLARK.

CLARK FIELD TO 05564.

WHAT'S YOUR POSITION?

WE'RE ABOUT 4 MILES AWAY.

WHAT ARE YOUR LANDING INSTRUCTIONS?

THE RUNWAY'S PRETTY ROUGH.

THE JAPS JUST HAD A PICNIC.

SOMEDAY, WE'LL FIND A FLAT FIELD.

THOSE TRACTORS ARE ON THE RUNWAY.

KEEP YOUR ALTITUDE. DO NOT LAND.

SORRY, HAVE TO COME IN, RUNNING OUT OF FUEL.

GET THOSE TRACTORS OFF THAT RUNWAY!

COME IN LOW OVER THE FENCE.

YOU HAVEN'T MUCH ROOM.

WE'VE GOT THE FENCE.

TAKE A LOOK, ROBBIE.

YES, SIR.

HI, MAJOR!

SAY, WHEN WE WERE AT KELLEY FIELD,

DIDN'T I TEACH YOU HOW TO GET OVER A FENCE?

I CUT IT TOO FINE.

NOT BAD AFTER 7,000 CONSECUTIVE MILES.

YOU DID A GREAT JOB.

ALL OF YOU!

HI, RAIDER.

HI, SIR.

DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE JOINED THE BOMBERS?

NO, SIR.

HE DOESN'T APPRECIATE A GOOD AIRPLANE.

I DON'T LIKE THEM SO BIG.

TAIL'S CLEAR, SIR. NO DAMAGE.

TAKE HER DOWN TO THE END,

GET HER A FULL LOAD OF GAS,

AND GET READY FOR ACTION, IRISH.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE READY TO TAKE OFF AT ANY TIME.

YOU CAN SEE YOURSELF,

YOU'RE WIDE OPEN ON THE GROUND.

COLONEL BLAKE WANTS TO SEE YOU.

I'LL PICK YOU UP SOON.

ALL RIGHT, SIR.

HOLD IT!

YOU GOT ANY SECTIONAL MAPS?

NOT ENOUGH.

GO GRAB SOME.

TOMMY, HELP LOAD THE BOMBS.

THANKS FOR THE BUGGY RIDE.

O.K.

WEINBERG, OPEN THE BOMB BAY.

PETERSON, CHECK YOUR RADIO.

YOU TWO, HELP WITH THE LOADING.

WINOCKI, SEE IF THE LINE CHIEF WILL TRANSFER YOU.

WE'LL GET SOMEBODY TO REPLACE YOU.

GET GOING.

I...

WINOCKI, YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS CREW?

ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANT, SIR?

NOT NECESSARILY.

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.

I'M BEGINNING TO REALIZE THAT--

TURN THAT DOG OVER TO THE NEAREST MARINE.

GET BACK HERE AND CHECK THOSE GUNS.

YES, SIR.

GET READY AS QUICK AS YOU CAN, SERGEANT.

CAPTAIN, EXCUSE ME, SIR.

COULD YOU FIND OUT SOMETHING ABOUT MY BOY?

SURE, I WILL, SERGEANT.

HEY, BUDDY, ARE YOU A MARINE?

WHAT'S IT TO YOU?

I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

HIS NAME IS TRIPOLI.

FEED HIM GOOD.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

CALLAHAN. THANKS!

YOU ALL READY UP THERE?

ALL READY.

LET HER GO!

WATCH IT.

STEADY.

KEEP HER LEVEL.

NOW TURN HER, FELLOWS.

TURN HER.

MAKE IT SNAPPY.

THAT'S ABOUT IT.

TAKE STRAIN ON.

TAKE IT AWAY.

THAT'S THE SITUATION, AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW.

THE FACT IS, WE'VE TAKEN AN AWFUL LICKING

BECAUSE WE WERE CAUGHT ON THE GROUND.

THEY'VE OUTNUMBERED US TEN TO ONE.

YET, EVERY TIME WE'VE BEEN UP AGAINST THEM,

THEY'VE LOST FIVE TO OUR ONE.

IF WE WERE NEAR EQUAL, WE COULD LICK THEM.

WE'LL KEEP FIGHTING WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT.

TILL WE CAN GET ENOUGH AIRPLANES

TO BLAST THEM OFF THE EARTH.

HOW LONG SINCE YOU'VE SLEPT, CAPTAIN?

WE HAVEN'T HAD MUCH TIME FOR THAT.

THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS CONTINUOUS FLYING.

YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB.

I'VE GOT A GOOD CREW.

I BELIEVE IT.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

WHAT DID YOU FIND, MORAN?

IT LOOKS LIKE AN INVASION FLEET.

WHAT'S IN IT?

THEY'VE GOT SOME DESTROYERS WITH THEM.

WHERE?

THEY'RE ABOUT 40 MILES OFF LINGAYEN.

I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO WAIT.

THE SKY SUDDENLY GOT FULL OF ZEROS.

SO I HEADED FOR HOME.

HERE'S THE POSITION AND COURSE.

A FLIGHT OF B-17s COULD WORK, SIR.

WE HAVEN'T GOT A FLIGHT OF B-17s.

WE'VE GOT ONE B-17 LOADING UP NOW.

YES, SIR. WANT TO TACKLE IT?

STUDY THIS FIRST, DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

MORAN WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE DOPE.

EXCUSE ME, SIR. ONE THING MORE.

I TOLD OUR CREW CHIEF I'D FIND OUT ABOUT HIS SON,

DANNY WHITE.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME?

HE WAS KILLED THE FIRST DAY.

THAT'S A SHAME.

GIVE THESE TO ROBBIE.

I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR A LONG TIME.

HOW DID IT HAPPEN, SIR?

CAPTAIN ANDERSON CAN TELL YOU MORE THAN I CAN.

HE SAW THE WHOLE THING.

YES, SIR.

FIND OUT ANYTHING, SIR?

HOW DID IT HAPPEN?

HE WAS TRYING TO TAKE OFF.

BEFORE HE COULD GET HIS WHEELS OFF THE GROUND,

THEY HIT THE RUNWAY IN FRONT OF HIM WITH A BIG ONE.

DIDN'T EVEN GET INTO THE AIR.

IT'S NOT MUCH TO SHOW FOR 20 YEARS,

IS IT, SIR?

[AIR RAID SIREN]

GET THAT AIRPLANE UP!

ALL RIGHT, SERGEANT, LET'S GO.

YES, SIR.

CLOSE THE BOMB BAY.

HOW MANY LOADED?

THREE, SIR. ALL BIG ONES.

YES. THOUSAND POUNDERS?

GOOD.

LET'S GET THIS THING OUT OF HERE!

TAKE IT AWAY.

DOORS ARE CLOSED.

EVERYTHING ALL SET, SIR.

WHEELS UP.

WHEELS UP.

MONK, WHAT DO YOU MAKE IT?

331, IRISH.

O.K., 331.

BETTER PUT ON YOUR CHUTE, ROBBIE.

YES, SIR.

NAVIGATOR TO PILOT.

WE'RE ABOUT 30 MILES OFF THE COAST.

BETTER GET OFF, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK.

O.K., GOING DOWN.

FIGHTERS!

PILOT TO CREW,

THERE'S A FLOCK OF ZEROS AHEAD AT 2:00.

ABOUT 3,000 FEET ABOVE US.

THERE'S ANOTHER BUNCH AT 10:00!

TAKE YOUR TIME.

SING OUT IF THEY GET ON HER TAIL.

MAKE IT COUNT.

WE'VE GOT A LOT TO GET EVEN FOR.

HERE THEY COME!

COMING OVER!

THEY BREAK UP IN PIECES!

WINOCKI, ONE AT 9:00 COMING DOWN.

COMING OVER!

GREAT!

TAKE IT LEFT!

RIGHT!

HEY, JOE, FRIED JAP GOING DOWN!

GAS LINE ON TWO.

GAS LINE ON TWO.

OIL LINE'S BURNING.

WE'LL HAVE TO BAIL OUT.

PILOT TO CREW--

[MACHINE GUN FIRE]

YOU HURT, IRISH?

YEAH. PILOT TO CREW, ABANDON SHIP.

[ALARM SOUNDS]

ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

TOMMY, GET RID OF YOUR SITE.

YOU AND MONK GO OUT THE BOMB BAY.

I'LL USE THE ESCAPE HATCH.

THEY'LL HAVE TO DRAG THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN

TO GET THIS.

OPEN THE ESCAPE HATCH,

I'LL THROW IT OUT.

IRISH.

GET OUT!

YOU'RE 20 MILES NORTHWEST OF THE FIELD.

GET OUT!

GO AHEAD, PETERSON.

WEINBERG.

I DON'T LIKE THIS.

GO ON. ALL RIGHT, KID.

WINOCKI.

GO AHEAD. I'M COMING.

O.K.

05564 TO CLARK FIELD.

EMERGENCY LANDING.

THERE, SIR! ONE ENGINE'S BURNING!

GET YOUR WHEELS DOWN!

CAN'T DO IT, GEAR'S JAMMED.

IT WON'T COME DOWN!

WELL.

I JUST LOOKED AT THAT B-17.

COUNTED OVER 100 BULLET HOLES.

TWO MOTORS HIT, PROPS ARE BENT,

CONTROLS IN A MESS, WHEELS DAMAGED,

FUEL TANKS ARE PUNCTURED,

ONE WING TIP GONE.

I DON'T SEE HOW SHE WAS BROUGHT DOWN IN ONE PIECE.

IF WE HAD 10 DAYS

AND PLENTY OF SPARE PARTS,

WE MIGHT MAKE HER FLY AGAIN.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'LL HAVE 24 HOURS.

LOOKS LIKE WE'LL WRITE HER OFF.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL DESTROY HER.

NO FIRES TONIGHT, THEY'LL HIT US AGAIN.

JOE, SEND OUT A DEMOLITION SQUAD

IN THE MORNING.

SO LONG.

WHAT ABOUT THE CREW?

THE CREW GOT BACK ALL RIGHT, SIR.

THEY'RE OVER AT THE HOSPITAL.

QUINCANNON ASKED TO SEE THEM.

HOW'S HE?

THAT'S TOO BAD.

YEAH.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT RIFLE, TEX?

I PICKED UP TOO MANY SLUGS.

I'M A FOOT SOLDIER NOW.

THEY FINALLY GOT HIM WHERE HE BELONGS.

THEY WERE AFRAID

HE WOULDN'T LEAVE ANY JAPS TO SURRENDER.

WINOCKI.

THEY SAID YOU BROUGHT HER IN.

HE DID, SIR.

SHE CAME IN HERSELF.

I JUST SAT THERE.

IT WAS A GOOD JOB.

SHE'S ALL RIGHT, HUH?

SHE'S...

SHE'S ALL RIGHT, ISN'T SHE?

ROBBIE.

YES, SIR?

SHE'LL FLY AGAIN?

SURE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER, ROBBIE?

OH, UH...PROPS, GEAR, WING TIP.

JUST A TIP?

WHAT'S A WING TIP? A FEW DAYS.

TWO DAYS?

YES, SIR.

BUT SHE WILL FLY AGAIN.

YEAH.

THAT'S FINE.

GET AS MANY MEN AS YOU NEED.

THE COLONEL WILL GIVE THEM TO YOU.

I'LL GET CLEARANCE, WE'LL LEAVE RIGHT AWAY.

WE'VE GOT TO HURRY.

NURSE!

EASY. EASY, IRISH.

GET THE DOCTOR.

NO, THE DOCTOR CAN'T GO.

REGULATIONS.

BESIDES, WE ALREADY GOT ONE PASSENGER.

IS HE HERE, THAT PURSUIT PILOT?

HERE, SIR.

O.K., START THEM, BILL.

SURE, IRISH.

EVERYBODY IN, CHIEF?

ALL IN, SIR.

DOORS CLOSED?

YES, SIR.

HERE WE GO.

LOCK THEM.

LOCKED.

WHEELS UP.

COMING UP.

SOUND LIKE THEY'RE RUNNING ALL RIGHT, ROBBIE?

YES, SIR.

PILOT TO NAVIGATOR.

GO AHEAD.

MONK...

MONK, WHAT'S OUR COURSE?

DUE EAST, SKIPPER.

THAT'S...

THAT'S RIGHT INTO THE SUNRISE.

RIGHT INTO THE...

THE SUNRISE.

OVER HERE, MAJOR.

THAT'S ALL, BOYS.

WELL, LET'S GET GOING, FELLOWS.

WE GOT A LOT TO DO.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, CORPORAL?

THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG.

ME AND THE SQUAD THINKERE'S SOMETHING WRONG.

WHAT?

WE WAS DETAILED TO BURN THEM BUSTED AIRPLANES.

DID YOU BURN THEM?

THEM JAPS ARE STEALING THEM, SIR.

DON'T TALK NONSENSE. THOSE ARE SNIPERS.

THEY'RE NOT STEALING AIRPLANES.

NOW WAIT A MINUTE.

LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT.

YOU HAD TO DEMOLISH FIVE B-17s.

YES, SIR.

WHAT IS IT?

THEY'RE MISSING.

PARTS OF THEM?

YES, SIR.

THERE'S A WRECKED B-17.

THE ONE THEY CALL THE MARY-ANN.

HAVE YOU BURNED IT?

NO, SIR.

WHY NOT?

I WANTED TO MAKE A REPORT.

WELL, NOW, GO BURN IT.

YES, SIR.

WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?

I DON'T KNOW. I BETTER LOOK.

I'LL GO WITH YOU.

THERE'S WHAT WE'RE MISSING.

HOW'S IT COMING, CHIEF?

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, WEINBERG, LOWER AWAY.

HEY, SARGE, ARE THE GUNS LOADED?

SURE THEY ARE.

ANY BOMBS IN?

NO.

GET DOWN.

GET AWAY FROM ME.

WE'RE GOING TO BURN THIS.

YOU GUYS GET THE LIVE AMMUNITION OUT.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!

YOU'RE BURNING THIS PLANE?

THE COLONEL SAID TO BURN IT.

GET YOUR STUFF OUT.

BOYS, BRING IN THE GAS.

GET THIS GASOLINE AWAY.

HEY, BUTCH!

WEINBERG!

I THOUGHT YOU WAS IN JERSEY.

I WISHED I WAS.

DON'T BURN IT.

I GOT ORDERS.

WEINBERG...

GET HIM AWAY BEFORE HE GETS HURT.

ORDERS IS ORDERS.

FROM WHO?

THE C.O.

TELL THE C.O. TO...

LOOK AT THIS AIRPLANE.

I'M LOOKING AT IT.

THERE'S NO REASON TO BURN THIS AIRPLANE.

SHE'LL BE AS GOOD AS NEW.

BETTER, SIR.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON HER ALL NIGHT.

WE'LL HAVE HER FLYING IN 24 HOURS.

OUR JOB IS TO DESTROY EVERYTHING

THAT WILL BE USEFUL TO THOSE JAPS.

WE CAN'T MOVE ANY GAS.

GET SOME DRUMS.

YOU CAN'T GET THAT READY IN TIME.

BOMBSIGHT STILL IN THIS AIRPLANE?

YES, SIR. THE ONE WE BORROWED.

WE WON'T LET THEM TAKE IT.

GIVE US A CHANCE.

I'VE BEEN IN THE ARMY OVER 20 YEARS.

THIS IS MY FIRST FAVOR.

WE'LL BURN HER OURSELVES IF WE CAN'T MAKE IT.

YOU'RE CRAZY.

YOU KNOW WHAT'LL HAPPEN IF THE JAPS COME?

YES, SIR.

YOU'LL BURN IT?

YES, SIR. YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, IT'S YOUR FUNERAL.

FORGET IT, CORPORAL.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THAT OBSERVATION PLANE IS READY TO GO.

WE'LL NEED A GUNNER.

I'LL NEED A GUNNER FOR A FEW HOURS.

I CAN GO.

WAIT A MINUTE.

I'D RATHER GO, SIR.

GO AHEAD.

YES, SIR.

THAT KID'S AWFULLY GREEN.

GIVE US A HAND!

O.K.

LEAVING THE MARY-ANN IS BAD LUCK.

SWING IT AROUND WIDE.

PUT SOME MUSCLE.

WHERE'D YOU FIND THAT LITTLE BEAST?

BEAST? HE'S A MARINE CORPS DOG.

I KNOW. HIYA, MOTO.

[ARF]

MOTO, CUT IT OUT!

GET HIM AWAY, SERGEANT!

I'D RATHER NOT GET HYDROPHOBIA.

HIS NAME AIN'T MOTO.

HIS NAME IS TRIPOLI.

WHAT!

MAYBE HE DON'T LIKE BEING CALLED MOTO.

[ARF]

THAT'S IT. CUTE TRICK, AIN'T IT?

YEAH, VERY CUTE.

HOW'S IT GOING, RAIDER?

THEY'RE WITHDRAWING TO BATAAN.

I THOUGHT IF I CAME BACK HERE,

I COULD GET AN AIRPLANE.

FAT CHANCE.

WE'VE GOT ONE 0-47 LEFT.

THEY'VE GOT AIRPLANES AT BATAVIA OR PORT DARWIN.

HOW ABOUT THAT B-17 I CAME IN ON?

THAT CRAZY OUTFIT?

THEY'RE WORKING ON IT

FROM OTHER WRECKS.

IT WILL NEVER FLY.

CAN I HELP, SIR?

DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT'S IMPOSSIBLE?

THANK YOU, SIR.

HEY!

CAN I HELP TOO, SIR?

GO TO--

HELP, SIR?

THANK YOU, SIR.

HELLO, WEINBERG.

THOUGHT YOU WAS IN THE INFANTRY.

HARD ON THE FEET.

THINGS GET TOO TOUGH?

I CAME TO HELP.

HOW YOU DOING WITH MOTO?

FINE, WITH TRIPOLI.

I KNEW IT ALL ALONG.

SURE. SURE.

LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE YOURSELVES A JOB.

HOW ABOUT USING ME AND THE MARINE?

YOU ASKING TO JOIN THIS CREW?

I'D RATHER FLY THAN WALK.

CHANGED YOUR MIND?

NO, BUT I'LL WORK.

STOP GRINNING AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

YOU'RE SERIOUS?

SURE.

WE NEED GAS.

YES, SIR.

TAKE THE MARINE CORPS WITH YOU.

O.K., CALLAHAN.

WATCH IT.

PICK UP THE END.

THAT'S GOT HER. WHERE'S WEINBERG?

HE WENT FOR OIL.

[SOUND OF AIRPLANES]

HEY, THOSE ARE JAP PLANES!

GET GOING, MEN.

GET ON THE GUNS!

BRING SOME MORE AMMUNITION.

GOOD WORK, ROBBIE!

DON'T TALK. SHOOT.

ANOTHER!

YOU DOG!

MONK, THEY'RE AFTER THE KID.

THEY'LL GET HIM ON THE WAY DOWN.

LOOK OUT, KID!

WAIT HERE, WEINBERG.

DIRTY...

WE'D BETTER GET HIM BACK NOW.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS, GET ON THIS LEG.

ALL TOGETHER, HEAVE!

THERE SHE IS, SIR.

IS THERE ROOM FOR A GUN?

I'LL SHOW YOU.

HAND ME THE GUN.

WHEN I GET IN.

IT'LL WORK ALL RIGHT.

THE JAPS WILL BE SURPRISED AT THIS B-17.

WHAT ABOUT THE TAIL WHEEL?

I CAN GET THROUGH.

GOT A FULL BOMB LOAD, TOMMY?

FULL TO THE GILLS.

LIEUTENANT, HAND ME THAT AMMUNITION, WILL YOU?

COMING UP.

GIVE US A HAND.

COME ON. HERE WE GO.

GET A COUPLE OF PLANKS.

[GUNFIRE]

THEY'RE GETTING CLOSER, SIR.

WE'LL HAVE TO GO BY DAYLIGHT.

WE WILL!

IT'S ALMOST 5:00 NOW.

WEINBERG FINISHED NUMBER THREE.

IF RAIDER DOESN'T GET BACK SOON--

HEY!

WHO IS IT?

PETERSON, CALLAHAN! WE GOT YOUR GAS.

A WHOLE TRUCKLOAD.

HOW CAN WE GET IT FROM THOSE DRUMS?

LIEUTENANT RAIDER'S BRINGING SOLDIERS.

WHERE DO YOU WANT IT, BILL?

RIGHT WHERE IT IS.

LET'S GET THESE DRUMS OUT.

SNAP INTO IT, FELLOWS.

SOME OF YOU GO BEHIND.

GOOD WORK, BOYS, KEEP THEM GOING.

STEP ON IT.
