The bit after the clip where they decide to turn for home has stuck with me since I was a young lad in the mid sixties.

The sight of the trails as posted above, then they sweep into the turn…very impressionable

I wonder how many latter day pilots got their first inspiration from this film.

Very much a compempory promotion, it does stand as a marvellous record of those days.

Odd thread title given that 12 o’Clock High was a different film as linked above. This was called “Strategic Air Command”
