COMBAT SQUADRON

In the dark days of 1943 and 1944, the American air forces,

established in England, they wrote a brilliant page

in the history of America over the skies of Europe.

To those men of the Squadron of Combate is dedicated this movie.

To the air forces of the USA. UU for allowing the use of filming

real and for their help and cooperation in the realization of this film,

our thanks.

English photographers. The relations public have given the go-ahead

to enter in the headquarters.

- Have the airplanes of the 17 returned? - Not yet.

- It seems they have had problems. - They take pride in having them.

Hollow head, do not miss No German, huh?

Knucklehead. I'm not going to let him go.

That would enchant him.

It's about time they left you there to take pictures.

He is proud of his group, sergeant.

He does not know what it is to have near the Colonel Brickley or Major Hardin.

They were born with a silica in the nose.

It seems to me that he was born with a silica on the tongue.

Of course, it is necessary that on land be someone competent

so everything goes well up there. For them I am essential.

Sometimes I think that if I was not there, the team would come down.

Very good, guys. Here we are. Go a few laps and take pictures.

Thank you very much, sergeant.

They do not want to take me out, for your newspaper?

In passing tell something about my job.

Thank you.

If someone bothers you, tell him Sergeant Dolan has authorized them.

Well, nut head, Where are those guys of yours?

20 minutes ago They should have returned.

If they had to have arrived 20 minutes, they would have arrived already.

You have not finished filling yet that auxiliary deposit?

Here they fit almost 5,000 liters. Why do not you help me?

I do not want to have anything to do with those deposits.

If by myself, I would throw them in flight.

The general has said that we do not throw them away

Yes, but he does not drive. I do not want have a german pissing on me

heels up there carrying that amount of fuel.

Do you remember the Swiss watch What did you sell me?

- Well, it's done in Czechoslovakia. - The Swiss travel a lot. Adi s.

- Hi, Wilbur. - Mr.

I told you that if there are no officers in front you do not have to say hello.

- Thank you, sir. - Any call?

Cybill's mother He has called three times.

I told him that the general I had destined for Italy.

All right. You start using your head You will get a promotion

- And even a decoration. - A decoration?

The iron cross. Few Americans have it.

Clean the jeep a bit and put a pair of soap bars back.

Will not you give it to anyone?

I just let them wash their faces with He and then I bring it back.

- Drop one of the cats. - Only one is left and it's white.

- Use the bet n and paint it black. - He's going to get in a good mess.

Do not you worry about anything. I know what I do.

Okay, it's fine. The cat ...!

- They're 24 minutes late, sir. - Looking at the clock we do not solve it.

I have brought the photographers, I want to take them back when finished?

- No. Hang that poster. - Another poster?

PROTECTS THE BOMBER FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END.

NEVER GO THROUGH BELOW OF THE 18,000 FEET

T CTICA OF THE FIGHTER SAVE LIFES

REMAINS WITH THE BOMBERS General Gilbert.

If we keep hanging posters, just it can be read by dwarves and dogs.

That would have to change it.

The man who marries He does not have the fight in mind.

Until he meets the family of his wife.

It's fine. Clean the blackboard and send the weather report.

- Dolan, look who's here. - Another time?

I warn you that if any pilot go here to that black cat

- He will lock you in a dungeon. - He left it on the way to the village.

Well, this time, bring it beyond the village.

- Some people? - Wherever you want

C gelo, Wilbur.

Adi s, kitty.

You go out there and I'm going around here.

Hi, Heishtag. We bring two aircraft touched.

Have the ambulance ready and the emergency team.

We will fly in a circle until give us permission to land.

Go ahead, land on the west side. Go ahead, land on the west side.

- Colonel, what happened to the major? - I do not know. Hanly and Clivel have achieved it.

- What a day. - The one that worries me is Hardin.

It will be fine. Do not worry.

We are a team. I should be flying by his side.

They were walking on your heels and you are not a fortune-teller.

How can you know who would go down to chase those Germans?

- Where's Brickley? - In the control tower. Let's go.

Let's go ahead.

Some of you have spoken with Ed after losing sight of him?

In the tower maybe they have received some message

Jacobs, you watched the plane of Major Hardin?

The last thing I saw was this ...

There's the old man of 18,000 feet in person.

Every time someone skips its golden rules, it appears.

It's like a hungry bulldog but twice as ugly.

If Ed does not return, he is capable of commit suicide to persecute him.

- Captain Hamilton. - General Gilbert.

Captain Chappell, Lieutenant Atkins. What happened to the oldest?

- Missing, sir. - Would not they have knocked him down?

- We do not know, sir. - We appreciate your interest, general.

- You fly by his side? - Yes, sir.

Captain Hamilton was being attacked, sir.

- Bombings? - Yes, sir.

Hardin decided to act on your own, no?

A 309 was going to blow up by the airs to the lieutenant.

Major Hardin came down to help him.

Colonel Brickley is in the tower of control trying to locate him.

- Are you sorry, General? - We will deliver a full report.

It will be there. You can go.

Sickley 88, have received Any message from Cobra Roja?

Negative, no message.

Heichstag to Sickley 88, thanks.

Mayday, mayday, attention. Here Drickthomas 12.

Going down, near the channel. Give me the position. One two Three...

- Test with the bombers. - Hey, buddy. Let a poor

- Bomber ahead of your lightning. - Lalamas bomber to that junk?

- You have a little low tail, friend. - I've had some trouble.

I have the impression of piloting A mixer.

We thought you were wearing company back there.

- Alemanes at five! - Mothers!

Rel mpago, Germans at five! You see?

- Yes, I see them. - L rgate!

I do not have enough fuel!

Get under us. We will try to cover you.

In agreement.

- I'm as close as I can. - In agreement. Follow there.

One less!

We have a wing touched. Are you okay, lightning?

Yes, but I do not like it I did not get the sun.

You can go out now, lightning. The third one goes to the house.

- Thanks for the umbrella. - A pleasure to return the favor.

Your guys are very helpful.

Heichstag, calling Hardin. Heischtag, calling Hardin.

- Who is it? Stuart? - Come on, fierce, come home.

I'm not presentable for go to London.

Ah!

Emergency team and firemen prepared. Do you need anything else?

I need to land without breaking me.

Come on, let's go out there.

Slowly, Ed, slowly.

Go ahead, Stu.

You're the luckiest guy I know.

- And tell it. - Let's see how you fly with this again.

- When you want, I'll give you a turn. - No thanks.

- My mother. It has been destroyed. - That the taxpayers give me another one.

US ARAB FORCES UU COMMAND FIGHTER. HEADQUARTERS.

Of course, of course, I understand. Remove all those papers from there.

What do the maintenance say? Four days for radio equipment?

- Give them a warning. - What am I saying, sir?

Whatever you want, but they have to do it in less time.

They send us only half of what we have asked for!

From now on ask twice what we need.

My men have to be well equipped

I will not consent to the maintenance tell me what I have to do.

Who the hell Is Sergeant Kingsley?

I do not know, sir, but they've been here a lot of women

from Randall, Stanford and Dorset. All complaining

and all looking for the sergeant Kingsley. It must be a Don Juan.

That sounds like air forces. But it can not be any of

our men None get so many passes to get out.

Oc pate that they do not return to me Annoy with that Kingsley never again.

- General Gilbert is here. - What happens?

- Go, sit down. Take a cigar - No thanks.

I heard your guys They have had a very bad day today.

14 missing, 9 have not achieved goals and 20 hits.

When the Germans put so much interest in protecting a goal

it's because they're giving where it hurts the most

- What's wrong with you? - How do you know?

When everything is going well, You usually accept a cigar.

It is a request that I would not like to do it, sir.

A council of war for Major Hardin.

- With what charges? - Violation of combat orders

in front of the enemy. It is a delicate matter.

After Brickley, he is the pilot who greater number of enemies

has knocked down It is also about from one of his guys ...

That has nothing to do, general, if the accusations are fair.

Sorry, but I just wanted to refer to your val a.

- What have you done this time? - The same as on other occasions.

I did not stay to the side of the bombers.

I must say in his favor that he descended to save one of his men.

But he did not get up again to his squadron.

He devoted himself to chasing planes enemies on your own.

- Did you run any? - Yes, three.

Two in the air and one on the ground.

When descending so much, he was point of crashing

and I lost one of the cylinders. Your plane has been rendered useless.

- It was a miracle that he did not kill himself. - That makes ... 17 wins.

You do not think it would be too much strong a council of war?

The new replacements see in him a hero and try to follow his example.

You have to make them see that it's essential fulfill the assigned missions

and respect the tactical decisions of the superior officers.

That man is disobeying Your orders, sir!

Has the movie of 17 already arrived? Well, put in Major Hardin's.

Let's go.

All ready? Ahead.

Mel, it seems to me that you have forgotten one thing

Hardin was with the tigers flying in China

before being part of the squadron with Hamilton, Brickley and Chappell.

In China, everyone acted At your own pace, enemy aircraft

they were objective, no more.

What I feel after seeing that movie are wishes

to recommend him so that give him another medal.

If I did that, I would be encouraging the others to behave like him.

You're right, of course, according to the regulation,

they should form a council of war.

- I'll withdraw my proposal, sir. - Well well. It was your duty to do it.

Major, I'm Colonel Brickley.

Your replacements have not arrived on the scheduled date. Tell me.

I will not consent to my men come back from missions

where they have seen their friends die and sit down and watch empty chairs.

Henceforth comply with what was agreed.

- The oldest is very busy. - I'm sure you're much more so.

- That chair must be very hard. - Yes, more than a stone.

I put you in a compromise with Gilbert today. I have no excuse.

Forget it, the old man is hard to peel.

To you the only thing that interests you is to hunt Germans.

I would like to have been with you, but if the orders are

stay with the bombers, I keep them.

The Gilbert esl ganes.

The escorts that are on the target will retain their tanks

to the meeting point although they are being attacked.

You have always opposed to be worth of your friendship with Mike to go

by Gilbert. Until you go to continue accepting its tactics?

We have enough squads as to protect the bombers

and also destroy German planes before they take off.

- Gilbert does not think so. - Gilbert does not know what he's doing.

Gilbert's uncle has many influences.

You would not do it. You are an officer of the army in addition to a gentleman.

But I come from fighting in China. I will do it.

- You will not. That's an order. - Yes, sir.

- Everything in its time. - It will be too late.

- Do not worry so much. - A drink will go well.

Let there be two.

Destroyed 214. Likely 34. Damaged 158

If I were a pilot we would knock down the double.

Do something, Wilbur, although we do not pay too much. You know.

I was spending a season in Hollywood. What city!

There was a lady calling me every Saturday.

- Did you have a car? - Car?

Sometimes a lovely blonde, tall, beautiful, bathed in perfume

has invited you to enter a limousine?

What if he had a car? Do you think I'm dating anyone?

Look at that captain. Always talking about women.

If I had an airplane to show me I would have women all over the world.

But my operations center it's a jeep

How hard is life.

- Dolan, we want a drink. - Hi, Tennessee.

How are the boys? Today has been a hard day.

Some are a little low morale

A game will help you forget. They will have something more in their heads.

Guys, do we play a game? I have 400 bucks in my pocket.

- Where is Stu? - Above.

- He'll be polishing his boots. - Let's go for him.

Target the game, You'll talk about women later.

Let's get him out of there.

Speaking of dice. Once I knew a girl in Las Vegas ...

If you do not forget a little about women some will end up hunting you.

I already knew that I would be with your boots!

Down there is going to start a game of dice. Have you heard about them?

- We're going to burn the pay. - Id. I'd rather stay with Ann.

What makes you think that she Do you want to stay with you?

- You come or what? - I'll put on my lucky boots.

Those boots have never helped you to win a dollar.

They are the best amulet of all times.

You would believe me if you had seen them in that store in London.

A bomb had just fallen, everything was full of rubble,

houses burning. And there they were. The only thing left standing.

They had not been scorched. They did not have a speck of dust.

- Did the dead think the same? - No!

And the last time he put them on ...?

- I cover you. - 60 more. I can not lose.

Yellow alarm. Yellow alarm. All the staff has covered.

- Come on, little ones. - Damn seven!

I feel that today I am going to be lucky. I bet 200.

Now you will see a beautiful 11.

- The point is four. - This is over, brother.

- It's my night. I play this. - And I do this.

- What's that? - The best jacket of my life.

Remove that from there and see how Daddy earns a lot of pasta.

Red alert, red alert. Everyone has covered.

This is going to be my night. Come on, a four.

Hey, guys. Where is the pasta? I have achieved it. It was a four.

- Hi, Wilbur. - Hello, sergeant.

- Has someone called me? - Yes, sir. Lady Wilbing.

He has said to wait for you tonight in the usual place.

- On the bridge? - Yes, sir. And if it rains, below.

Pour gas into the jeep and put m white tie in the back seat.

- Wilbur, I'm short on money. - Only one dollar left.

Wait almost to be sent some pasta. Prepare the jeep.

- The colonel wants to talk to you. - Yes, sir.

- Lord? - I received a notice of command.

It seems we have a sergeant that is dedicated to walk around Randall,

Stradford and Kenbruck for entertain the ladies.

And it's not playing cards.

When the general finds you, I will hang him.

- Can you describe it to me, sir? - We know he's a sergeant.

- And his name is Kingsley. - It must be an infantry.

It can not be any of our men.

- Here it is not easy to get a pass. - From now on nobody will come out.

Here, send this immediately.

With this fog we are not going to be able to leave.

- Is it Ann's? - Send you memories.

- He says he saw your father. - The old man would not stop talking.

- Would you have told him you're coming back soon? - Yes.

Four more missions and will be at home.

Only one will remain if you lift the fog ... for this time.

- Did you tell him you're re-engaged? - I would never stop it.

She is a great girl. And you're lucky.

If Brickley did not have those rules about marriage.

While he is in charge we will have to obey them.

Maybe some officer thinks that is not important, but he is.

- The mission is canceled. - An admirer?

The letter is from a lady from Texas, blonde and with big blue eyes,

and it has a petroleum well in his garden that does not stop flowing.

Probably wait May my hand grant it.

- Do you know any poor woman? - Yes, but I run away from them.

A teletype of the general has just arrived ordering Brickley to

- Go to the headquarters. - I smell like General Gilbert.

Brickley has already left for there.

A message from the staff, sir. He says that the new groups

Fighter 604 and Fighter 605 they will fulfill the functions of escort

of the bomber tenth during operations.

Hello, Brick. Take a cigar Sorry, I forgot that you do not smoke.

- We do not see each other lately. - I have been very busy.

You have directed the missions piloting yourself,

What do you think about the tactics of combat?

It is an official question.

I respect General Gilbert. He is an expert and his tactics

They worked well a year ago when there were not enough airplanes.

But they stopped being effective when the last five groups

- They joined the fight. - And the fuel tanks?

They make us in a perfect target.

We are ordered to fly over the objective throughout the operation.

Why not act? Our planes could not knock down a single german

carrying so much weight and guys who could check it

They are the ones who have not told. As soon as they tried to attack us

We could drop those deposits.

No matter where they are when we destroy them.

What matters is that the day next are not in the air.

And what else?

Now we have enough groups like to send experienced pilots

that sweep the fields and make them Jump to pieces on the ground.

- And that includes your group? - Yes, sir.

Yes, of course, but according to the statistics, our losses

triple when we operate at low altitude.

Machine guns, rifles, pistols ... They would throw us to pans.

The case is to drive the bombers to the targets without being attacked.

If he believed in it, I could convince others.

We know each other for a long time.

Yes, it has been many hours of flight.

I'm going to make you a proposal. I have to ask you to leave your group.

You are the best man I have. A year ago I wanted to become general,

but you wanted to keep flying. Very good, you can keep flying.

But I want you to take your command to one of the new

- And make it special. - I thought he was going to send me to the office.

You are not worth to be behind a table, fighting the ulcers

or against maintenance. I know what your group means to you.

It is not a competition. Do you accept?

- If you want it like that, yes. - All right.

Who do you recommend? to replace you?

- To Ed Hardin. - Hardin?

Hardin is a lone wolf. Have a record of disobeyed orders.

He is a great pilot, but It does not have organizer wood.

He has never had occasion to prove it.

You know what I feel for my group and I think he is the best man.

He has always considered my Opinions so far, general.

Well, if you want it that way, this same Later you will receive instructions.

Thanks, Mike, sorry, Sir, general.

Damn it, the pill!

- What are you doing up so late? - Wait for you. Have you been to Liverpool?

The colonel sent me to a mission and tonight I have completed it.

There's a guy waiting for you.

I think he's the girl's father.

- Harry ... - Here I am, boss.

- How many do you bring? - Half a dozen.

- Are they old? - They have about three years.

What do you prefer? Jab n or cigarettes?

- I'll keep the cigarettes. - You'd better get the soap.

Taking. It disappears.

- Calm down, some call? - He's called Victoria.

- What did you say? - That they had hurt him.

You are practically a sergeant. Give me a hand, come on.

These have to last me at least a week

- They are beautiful. - True, yes?

- This will save it for Saturday. - It is cute.

- Are not you afraid of being caught? - Who, some officer?

Wilbur, when the war is over, they will all work for me.

- I will also have a job for you. - Thank you.

Without salary. It will give you a part in the business.

They make too much noise when they fight.

Maybe they're hungry.

- This wallet was given to me by a lady. - Vac o?

So yes, now it has 1000 francs inside.

- What do you have French currency for? - In case they knock me down and I fall in Paris.

For two years he has been Direction of a French dancer.

It's the French dancer Most beautiful of the Follies Berger.

I assure you it's the woman most sensational in the world.

If I could go out with her only once

I would give you my calendar with the data of all women.

- Probably that does not exist either. - Carter told me about her

on his deathbed. When he thought about it, he recovered.

- But I had already taken the address. - And what is that address?

I'm not stupid.

Well, I'm going to show Minnie the town in the light of the fog.

Guys, Dolan must have taken a few drinks again.

It goes around telling all the world that they have moved to Brickley.

- Yes, it's true. - What?

Colonel Brickley wants to see you.

- I do not like this. - I've been here too long.

It's time to change of scene

- Who was it, Gilbert? - No, McCready.

He wants me to be in charge from another group.

The army ... They have finished with the team with the record of effectiveness.

- Who could replace you? - T , Colonel.

- Is it that he has gone crazy? - I recommended you.

Why not Hamilton or Duke? Do not count on me. I'm not worth.

I can send a squadron, but Not 48 planes in an attack.

Because you've never wanted.

The handsome lieutenant Always act on your own.

You rejected your appointment and you went to China.

Live dangerously Be a lonely hero

Voluntary missions Accidents

You have turned this war into your private circus, but it was me

who accepted the responsibilities for you. Have you forgotten?

Now you have That return the favor.

Listen, this is my group. I want each of my men

have the opportunity to leave alive.

And for this they must continue obeying the orders strictly.

Are you going to do it or are you going to continue piloting only for Ed Hardin?

- I will. - Thank you.

So the handsome lieutenant, I'm going to ...

Come on, you'll be late. Where is your backpack?

It's in Peoria. I saw him when he said goodbye to him with a kiss.

Not every day is spared one of a colonel.

Get him out of here. We will occupy your office.

Firm, guys. Rest.

If I have bothered someone during my stay, to get up.

I'm sorry, goodbye and good luck. Goodbye everyone, guys.

- Stay firm, Ed. - I always have been. And do not marry.

Before joining a group.

Call him from here, corporal.

Make sure they remain well sewn.

The colonel will have to use them during a good season.

I'm leaving my fingers like a colander

You are training for when you have to sew your stripes

And it will be very soon, because I have recommended you for a promotion.

Careful, Wilbur. Do not eat your jacket.

I did not think to do it.

Mu vete por ah . That they do not see you sitting without doing anything Let's go.

- To work. - Thank you, sir.

The medical report. Make four for repairs.

Your jacket. I just finished to sew the stars.

I've shattered my fingers with the needle.

Thank you. I will bring you a nurse who is beautiful.

I would prefer a thimble. Know what I would do anything for you.

Well, find me Sergeant Kingsley. They only make me complain about him.

Because of how he behaves He must be a paratrooper.

- Find him, sergeant. - Yes. Anything else, greater?

- Colonel. - He has not put on his jacket yet.

- Thanks, sergeant. - You're welcome, Colonel.

From the headquarters confirming your appointment.

- They sent her before she accepted! - I knew I could count on you.

Here is the list of people.

Did Brick write them himself?

Yes, he never remembered if bravely it was with "b" or with "v".

I think this office it does not go with me

You will get it.

They must obey the orders strictly.

The morning mission, Colonel. At midnight the sky will be clear.

Berl n!

The first attack on Berlin and we will go as an escort.

Hitler is going to know what is good once and for all.

They do not say anything about letting go the deposits.

I hope we do not establish a record of losses.

When I helped him put on his jacket, He was very proud.

He looked happy. And then I told him that you had done everything.

Then I spoke a little how effective you were.

Well, do you think I'll get it?

Stay by my side and you'll see how you get it.

And the poster forbidden to marry?

- I was there this morning. - It was also this afternoon.

- Who took it? - Captain Hamilton tonight ...

THE MAN WHO WANTS TO MARRY NO IT HAS ITS MIND PLACED IN THE FIGHT.

BEFORE GROUP C MBIATE.

When he returns he will be a man completely different

A man worthy of admiration and able to do the most incredible

feats to dazzle to my dear wife.

Ed, we were waiting for you. By the group commander!

Now we can celebrate. I sent a telegram to Ann.

One more mission and come back to get married.

You will have to prepare to be the godfather.

For the future Mrs. Hamilton.

Sorry, I can not toast for that.

- That's funny, Hardin. - It's not any joke.

You will not agree with that stupid idea of ​​Brickley?

We accepted it while he was but now the boss is you.

It is not stupidity. Its rules had a single objective:

- Save lifes. - Do I have to stay single?

And in the record group of Greater effectiveness in combat.

Brick wanted men who they will only think about driving.

Men who lived alone to be pilots.

He warned us that a man who has a wife and children

he thinks twice before play life on a mission.

That can make a difference between life and death.

You have violated the rules a thousand times.

Yes, those of General Gilbert, but I've never questioned Brick.

You are not Brick, They are not your rules.

He asked me to take his place for the group to work.

That's what it will do.

Corporal, put that poster where it was.

Before joining a group.

I can do something better. He will make me an instructor.

So I could have a house, a wife and children.

Of course you could. Many have returned home without re-engaging.

You've already done it, twice.

Until you make a decision, you will occupy my position

- As commander of the squadron ... - I have already made a decision.

You will occupy the post of always on your last mission.

- At your side? - Yes.

Capiton, as of tomorrow, You will be the commander of the squadron.

Hatkins, you will fill the post of Chappell.

You will have to take care of timing the escort planes

in our first mission of bombing on Berlin.

- Wilbur, Wilbur ... - What happened?

They have started again. Toss them with a herring and keep them quiet.

Damn cats. In agreement.

- We almost do not have any left. - It would be worse if we did not have cats.

Early morning you loose one. I have to go to Dorset.

- What's the matter? - Cybill. Problems with your mother.

It's a little hard to hear and always He gets into our conversations.

I stole the sonotone. I do not know what happens now in that house.

I have to return it to him tomorrow same.

- Say something to see if it works. - What do you want me to say?

- Anything. - Goodnight.

He did not hear anything with this thing.

I think we will attack Magdeburg up let them see that we change the course.

We must be prepared to repel an attack of all his forces.

Call from General McCready.

According to our calculations, they will try intercept here ...

- Colonel Hardin. - It's his first mission in charge.

- Good luck. - Thank you, sir.

I have to ask you a big favor.

You remember that Brickley spoke to you to drop the deposits

although I never arrived to put it into practice?

- Now we can do it. - I can not authorize it!

The staff refuses.

We could make that change if you gave us the opportunity.

You want to get me in a mess with the air forces?

I would put you in a mess with whoever it was. I am responsible for my men.

I have to take them healthy to Berlin.

If they are attacked and can not throw deposits, half will not return .

I can not take them like that.

I have everyone against me. The command of bombers will be on me.

You have always had strength to face everyone.

In agreement. In agreement.

A mission. I'm responsible But it ends with some Germans.

It will bring you a very fat one, sir. And thanks.

- Good luck. - One moment, one moment!

The general has just confirmed me that vary the orders.

If they attack us on this mission, we can drop the deposits.

I wish you good luck. That is all.

Oh, God, supreme Lord of all things ...

PARACA DAS STORE

Bad luck haunts me. Sergeant Dolan!

- What does that do there? - Yes, sir.

- Here is your friend. - Another time?

Well, take it further but just from here.

- Ll vatelo even to London. - S , sir!

What are you waiting for?

Take off at 26, Take off at 26.

West wind at 10 degrees. Everything ready to take off. Short.

Give me this until I return.

How much is missing for the fighter and the bombers arrive?

Here Hardin checking the radio. All right, Stu?

- Hamilton, short. - Chappell, one, two, three, four.

Mothers at two! Prepared to throw the deposits if they attack us!

If we could see the noses ... Down the deposits.

Daddy has something for you!

It hurts, right?

Memories of Captain Hamilton.

Let's go get them.

Right in the warehouse.

Guys, I've already loaded to the m .o.

Careful, at six! You have it on top!

Take it from behind.

Willer, throw the seat!

What is the address of that Blonde in Paris?

Paulette, on Rivoli Street, 29. Happy landing

Here Hamilton. I'm going for him.

They're firing! I'm going down! Take the command!

You like to play hard, huh?

Come on, pig, come on!

Come on!

- You had not decided to go home? - And that's right.

- Are you comfortable? - Let's see if you lose weight.

Agüerrate, colonel. It will be a rugged takeoff.

I hope Dolan finds That cat to thank you.

The first groups They're at Baker 3, sir.

About the channel!

General.

Thank you.

Third group of fighters, mission Berlin.

39 enemy aircraft destroyed. Only one loss.

The staff will be happy. Make a copy and pass it to Brickley.

Write: "When our fighter they released the deposits ... "

No, no, no ... Put better "Las Brickley's tactics ", you'll like it.

- Hardin said it would work. - It seems that Hardin has been reformed.

Reformed? Yes, it has been reformed.

Now there are only the others Two renegades, Hamilton and Chappell.

Although I'm glad that you they will save I need that man.

Duncan, those guys have created a new tactics for air forces.

The one of the fuel deposits.

Soon you will have to write the smallest numbers.

Or are we going to need a bigger blackboard

or the Germans are going to need more planes.

Go, look who's back.

- Dolan is a genius. - The lucky cat.

You will have to walk the cat by planes every morning.

How did you find it?

He asked me if it was a black cat where I would go.

I went and there it was.

- Did you take him outside? - Yes, sir.

- Are you sure it's the same? - Hu lalo.

Who said the cats Do not blacks bring luck?

Colonel saved and also, What is it that we discovered?

- Where does Paulette live? - At 29 rue Rivoli.

You should never have told her said to Hardin.

When I go to Paris and call her, I'll be the one to pick up the phone.

Oh, here comes the radiant hero.

You have been very good today.

Thank you, the boys were emboldened with the deposits.

Although we felt like lost puppies without you.

From headquarters, sir.

Let's see if he has a sister and kiss her from me.

- Attention! - Rest.

I bring a message from the headquarters.

Group commanders will warn to the pilots the obvious danger

which means landing on the continent to effect a rescue.

This notice should not be considered as a reproach to the act

starring the captain Hamilton

Pilots must be aware of the few odds

of success of this type of maneuvers.

The risk of losing two pilots and two planes instead of one

It makes us disapprove of this action.

Let them understand that the probabilities of success

they are one in a million.

Sorry. I thought that after your last mission would congratulate you.

I have given myself the pleasure of breaking one of Gilbert's rules.

- Adi s, Duke. - Divi rtete.

- Ed. - I'll go with you.

- Adi s. - Good luck.

- Thanks again. - You are welcome.

I feel we could not fix this.

We can still.

- I'm very stubborn. - We are two now.

Memories to Ann.

- Do I say something to your father? - Yes.

Tell him I'm so strict with my men like Brickley was.

I will tell you that one of them gets tired to wander through Europe

and decided to get married. I'll see you in the United States.

- Give it for granted. - Let's go.

March 6, 1944. Berlin objective.

539 B-17 escort towards the objective Berlin.

March 9, 1944. Objective Hanover.

489 B-17, Hanover target.

March 12, 1944. Munster goal.

We have lost eight. The captains Gallagher and Colroy.

Lieutenants Miller, Thor, Perry, Rugosky, Carlie and Musseti.

Total numbers for March, 147 enemy aircraft destroyed,

8 probable and 43 touched.

The group has achieved a good record. Two more and you will be the ace of the air.

- I hope you get it. - Thank you.

Write t the letters to the parents of those guys.

Today I do not feel strong. Goodnight.

Good evening, Colonel.

Pussycat, here things are putting very hard.

It's funny how you can throw of less a pair of old boots.

Yes, the lucky boots.

What you should feel when you are at home, get up in the morning

and have your lovely wife? I would become a fat husband.

- Lord? - Yes, come on.

I'm Lieutenant Kirk, sir, one of the new replacements.

I know You know Captain Chappell and Lieutenant Atkins?

He would care to respond to a ask, sir?

- Is it about the bride, lieutenant? - No, it's about airplanes.

- Then ask the colonel. - They're kidding. Sit down

You said this afternoon that when is attacked from behind does not look

to the enemy plane. Then why, sir?

I look at the exhaust pipe. When turn off the engine is that it telegraphs.

Then that is the moment to shoot?

Yes, but if you fail, do not do the brave

Turn quickly and go find a hollow empty sky where you get.

- Nervous about tomorrow? - The truth is that I'm scared.

We all have it.

Maybe I'll get used to it. At least I'll try.

We will face this together. Tomorrow you will fly with me.

Volar with you? That means I have to protect you, Colonel.

You will do better than you think. That's an order.

- It will be better if you go to rest. - Thank you, sir.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

- Have you ever been so young? - I was born old.

Your new plane, sir.

Write to taxpayers to thank them.

What is he doing there?

It is there from one hour before that dawned.

He has revised everything except painting. He's like a kid with new shoes.

Nothing will happen to him.

Hurry, the war awaits me.

- In case I'm not coming back, thanks for everything. - How can you not come back?

Here you do not think in that way.

When you come back you will tell me How many planes have you knocked down?

Surely there is a German in Some place saying the same thing.

Forget it, boy.

Gill, I've been thinking in a new combat technique.

Fly at low altitude. Go ahead of the bombers and shoot ashore.

Ending enemy aircraft on the floor.

Thus they will not be able to take off for attack our bombers.

I've been discussing it with Ed and he suggested ...

- Colonel Hardin? - Yes.

He thinks it would be good flying tactics lower to hunt them on land.

- What do you think? - You know what I think.

Our losses are greater and they mean less defenses

- For the bombers. - Yes, but we have more planes.

We could take advantage of of the surprise effect.

They will not wait for the fighters to go ahead of the bombers.

With your permission, I would like it think about it a bit more and give it

a report of my opinion on this type of operation.

No. We must take into account the new tactics

proposed by our younger officers.

Hardin is a very good driver.

I confess that I confess in l to 99 percent.

Think about it and I will let you know my decision.

Is all thanks.

Heichstag to Jarstik, Heichstag to Jarstik.

- Here Jarstik, go ahead. - Use track 3.

- Wind speed 15 Km / h. - Received.

Go, it seems that you have reached in the queue.

That's it. Lieutenant Fox was by my side. He was hit in the wing.

I saw how you knocked down one. First. You gave him full.

I feel bad, sir. I think I'm going to get dizzy.

Sergeant, s bele and give him oxygen. Help him, guys.

He has knocked down one, I confirm it. You can put it on now.

Yes, it's yours. Four more and You will be an ace of the air.

- Could not it be made bigger? - 17 more and you'll be like the colonel.

- I think I'm going to get dizzy again. - More oxygen.

Shorty, today you've been magnificent. Drink a little to celebrate the triumph.

- Take a soda. - A little beer will not hurt you.

- We'll make you a whole man. - Attention!

Come in, guys.

You will like to know something that you expected heard a long time ago.

You saw new squads appear German Your escorts

they went for them and for old.

The avant-garde brought down to 202 and the rearguard to 244.

We have lost 59 bombers.

The intelligence tell us about concentrations of German fighters

in the fields of Flaggerstag.

Tomorrow we will fly at 30,000 feet one hour in advance

regarding the bombers and then we will attack the planes on the ground.

The prohibition is over of 18,000 feet.

Now from near we can see if they are blond or brown.

- We're going to burn those hangars ...! - porA for them!

General General, General Gilbert! We will celebrate with them ...!

Attend!

Well, it seems that the general Gilbert is finished.

What's up, Stu, the moon of Honey was too much for you?

He must have fled after to see his mother-in-law.

- Where did you go for a honeymoon? - To the waterfalls of the Ni gara.

- You took your wife? - Hi, how are you?

- I've never been better. - Did you see my old man?

- He told me that you still owe him $ 80. - I will never give them back to you.

- What brings you here? - Visit a training school.

- I do not think it's that hard. - Is the honeymoon over?

I did not get to request the transfer. By What I have heard, I arrive just in time.

You have room for me on the morning mission?

Site for you? We are going to need all the veterans.

What do you think of a drink? of welcoming?

Oh, the boots. Everything is as before.

Rest a bit. Tomorrow will be a very hard day.

- Good evening, guys. - Goodnight.

Thanks for not saying anything until now.

- You have married. - Yes.

Are not you going to congratulate me?

Yes, of course. Ann is a girl great You deserve to be happy.

- We are. - But you've re-hooked.

Yes, she understands it. I could not stay.

Sorry. Tomorrow I want your Transfer request in writing.

- You can not do that to me. - You have not left me an election.

- I could have lied to you. - You are not of that class.

I have left my wife, my marriage, my home and I have returned.

Do you want more proof of my loyalty?

There are almost 200 men in this group, all respect the rules.

I'm going to ask you a question.

If Brick was still in charge, Would you have done this to him?

It's fine. You will have my request in your office.

And the morning mission? Do you give me a chance?

I can not.

We've been waiting for so long order to attack land.

It is not much to ask.

In agreement. Attack the Germans together.

I have to polish my boots.

- Very well, Stu, you've wanted it. - I'm right behind you.

It's time to start. Good luck.

Lleg the moment, guys!

Stu, that watchtower. Let's go for it.

Guys, here comes the human locomotive.

Ahh!

Stu, jump!

- I'm stuck! - Try to get out of there!

There's nothing to do. I'm thinking about Ann.

I'm sorry I made you wait, sir.

I was hoping to find you in your office at this time of the morning.

But I should not be surprised, I also expected other things.

What do you mean?

You should know that any suggestion

directed to a superior must be processed through official channels.

- I'm aware of that, general. - Well, he did not take it into account

when I passed over m and talked to General McCready

about gasoline deposits.

There was no time, sir. It had to be a quick decision.

I want to remind you that I am your immediately superior at this time.

In the future everything you have what to say to the headquarters

It will be through me. Is it clear?

Yes, sir.

It seems that his ideas They are having a lot of success.

First release the tanks and then the missions at low altitude.

That order came from above, sir.

Yesterday, applying its tactics, got a great victory.

22 planes shot down

But that same technique caused the death of Captain Hamilton.

Maybe now understand why I I have opposed those missions.

The percentage of losses It triples.

Stay with the bombers. Do not release the deposits.

Only they are slogans that you created sitting behind his desk.

I should have written them up there, having someone to his tail

trying to make him jump in the air.

Then I would have abandoned to the bombers.

I would have released the tanks and I would have written more sensible rules.

We are here of your stiff rules, general!

And now get out of this office!

- Do you realize what he says? - Outside.

You suffer combat stress.

- Another thing, what about the gallons? - You will have them.

- I promised them for my birthday. - By then you will have them.

Yes, but my birthday it was last week.

Why did not you tell me? You should have written it down.

I do not have to write it down. I know when it is.

Well, for the next one. Av same with time.

Dolan, commander. I have to see General McCready.

- You seem worried, sir. - I have problems.

- General Gilbert? - Yes. This time it's serious.

Wish me luck.

Sergeant, your picture comes out in this magazine.

All the boys talk about it.

I have an album full of things how sta. I will take it.

- Where is Sweeny? - In intelligence, with some ladies.

They are my specialty. I will give you a hand.

I'm sorry about Hamilton's death. I'm going to miss him a lot.

- Almost as much as t . - I know, sir.

I can not lose you too, Ed. Important things are going to happen.

I need veterans in the headquarters.

I need people the old escuadr n guila

Brick returns to his group. It will arrive tomorrow.

I want you to be at his height.

General Gilbert has given a part against me. That's the problem?

No. He told me about it. Said I felt it and that I was in error.

- And you're in agreement? - Is not that. But...

The truth is that I start To think that I was wrong

I never liked to take out a man from a plane to

put him in an office. It's what I should have done.

The death of Hamilton It has opened my eyes.

- When do you join? - I would like to end these missions.

- How many do you have left? - Ten.

You allowed Hamilton go to one more.

If I had been him, too I would have asked for it, do you understand?

You say that they are going to happen many things.

I have noticed the concentration of bombers on Normandy.

I have a long time waiting for D a D.

I do not want to move without making them pay for Stu.

I could order that you will join now.

You would obey my orders, would not you?

Yes, sir. I only ask for a postponement.

I request that I be rented to the rank of captain

to be able to keep flying.

- Please, sir. - Very good, Ed.

- Go back to your group. - Thank you, sir.

But as soon as you finish with those missions I want you here.

- Yes, sir. - What's the matter?

Enough, enough, enough! Quiet, please.

- What the hell is going on? - The photo. It's Sergeant Kingsley.

Please!

So you're the sergeant Kingsley.

Do you want to shut up? I promise you that this man will be punished.

- And what about my daughter's cat? - I did not take your cat.

- What? - That his cat did not take me. Change.

Change? I have not changed.

Silence, please! However you want you call, you're arrested.

Polic a, get it out of here!

I assure you it was The best cat we've had.

Sometimes I would like it be a sergeant

If I were general, this would never have happened.

I do not know. The black cats They always bring bad luck.

Of that nothing. One day I was in the car with my mother-in-law and one crossed us.

I hit a braking and the old He never spoke to me again.

That is to have good luck.

Over here, sir.

- I'm going out, sir? - In time I suppose I do.

Cleaning your room we have found this.

You have been trafficking on the black market?

- Enjoy them, Dolan. - Major, the general on the phone.

I have come to thank you. You always told me that I would get it

- And I've got it. - It will not do you much good.

The cats' fuss It's over.

Sergeant, one of those cats. Call it to Cybill's mother

- On behalf of General McCready. - Yes, sir.

- Soldier. Give me one meek - Yes, sir.

You do not have to greet me while you are in prison.

Why not? We are going to need all our forces.

Black boss, black boss. Hello, black boss.

Coronel Hardin! "Boss charges, Colonel!

Ed, answer!

It had to be a failure in the engines. He would not have let himself be knocked down.

- Did you see him crash? - No, sir.

They were attacking me. He did not look again.

- Y t ? - None of you saw him, sir.

- Your plane went into a spin? - It fell in a dive but turned slowly.

Already.

He is alive.
