As this thread has been dormant for quite a while,perhaps Col Hessler or OTF would like to kick-start it again with a fresh question ?

Kelly was the 'fall guy' after half a company of GIs were killed when somebody called in an artillery strike on the wrong hill.

Ummm - I don't know this one - if it'll help jog anyone's memory, the Captain in question is portrayed by Robert Mitchum and the previous career was a Merchant seaman.....

I remember the scene...right before the U-boat was spotted.
Don't remember the remark though.

Thanks Martin !! I just took a wild guess from the merchant part of your post. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

In the movie "The War Lover", What was Steve McQueens B-17's name. The one he flew into the White Cliffs of Dover at the end of the movie.

Not only that, but I've got a piece of B-17F 42-5852 sitting here on my desk....

OK - next question. Staying with 'The War Lover', there's a familiar scene of a B-17 doing a belly-landing right in front the camera ( and taking out a bell-tent as it does so ). Familiar, because it's the very same crash scene lifted from 'Twelve O'Clock High'.

Which famous stunt pilot was at the controls ?

I will take anouther wild guess, Paul Manz of Flight of the Phoenix fame and misfortune ??

Not such a wild guess at all, Ta ! It was indeed the legendary and much-lamented Paul Mantz, belly-landing a radiation-contaminated QB-17G right in front of the cameras in the days before CGI.....

All yours.....

Can't think of a hard one off hand so an easy one.

What country was Catch 22 filmed in with all the B-25s.
