The answer is a B-25 bomber. They were used after the war as twin engine trainers.
New question: Name the actor who played Private Hook in the movie Zulu and then went on play Cpl. Newkirk in the TV series Hogan's Hero's.

Hi TA, James Booth played Hook in Zulu but Richard Dawson played Newkirk in Hogan's Hero's.

I always thought they were the same person [img]redface.gif[/img]
They look alike and act alike.
I guess Martin or Carl can ask the next question, if any are left to ask.
Carl, I may be coming to Corpus to visit the aircraft carrier in the Spring and would like to meet you there and visit.

Hi TA, no problem in mis-identification. If you have ever seen the movie: "Jaws." The character played by Robert Shaw--I had always thought was Richard Dawson. I saw that movie when it was released I think in 1973 making me 6 going on 7.
Also, A meeting in CC would be cool--just send me more details when you think it will be and I will make sure any schedule is free.
Also, did you know that we also (temporarily) have the Carrier the USS Oriskany here as well? She is supposed to have some "cleaning up" done on her before they move it to just off the Floriduh Keys and sink her making another reef. I think this carrier deserves a better ending than that though.

Thanks guys, i'll make this an EASY question.
Name three movies that feature the Gebirgsjagers in combat and not in combat.
I'll give you two of them:
1) The Eagle Has Landed.
2) Where Eagles Dare.
3) You give me the name of the Oliver Reed movie that also starred an Elephant.

Correctamundo Martin--tis yer turn.
Also, I never found it to be such a bad movie. Maybe the movie made a great first impression on me because when I saw it for the first time, I had just gotten back from my trip to Germany, about 2 days or less before I saw it.
I was still trying to adjust for jetlag and had awoken much earlier than normal, and turned the TV on, flipped the stations and saw the part where he was breaking into some resort of somekind that was boarded up.
At first--not haveing a TV guide and not knowing what the movie was, I thought that it was some sort of peacenik kind of film. I was just about to change the channel when some German soldiers drove up to the building in a Kubelwagon. From then on, it held my interest.
I guess I liked the movie alot because some of the places they did filming at, I had just traveled through there within the 18 or so days prior to my seeing this film.

If nobody wants to give it a go--i'll do so.
What movie was about a British Sgt Major and his friend A Corporal. They were POWs of the Germans and were always scheming to escape.
The wounded Sgt Maj, did escape, made his way to a Barn, and the Barn was discovered by the Germans who in turn made it into a field hospital.
The Germans had thought he was also a wounded German soldier and he was placed with the rest of them. He was also awarded a medal before it was discovered that he was indeed a British soldier.
As a bonus, name the medal he was awarded.
