I remember it was a pretty hard hit, too.........

But the Producers said he has to survive, so he survived!.................lol

A few other times too, like when the bloke was shot down over the channell it was during the daytime, but after his aircraft went under the water and he came out and swam to the surface, it was quite dark out . Go figure

Yeah a hard crash but i once heard it did happen that way. couple planes were completely destroyed, but most of them crash landed safetly. The Japanese managed to capture the crew of just one B-25. The crew was executed. Doolittle made his way into China and the crews met him there.

I don't know about Pearl Harbor, I've seen a lot worse than that, although it was bad enough that I didn't see it more than once.

I've not seen any of those so I can't comment but my worst war film award goes to "Big Red One"

EVERY tank, APC and SPG in the damn thing is the same Sherman, they never even bother changing the paint job.

Heh-Heh...   Yeah, it's pretty bad.  This pregnant woman comes along, so in order for her to deliver, they drag her up on top of a tank, in through the hatch (that must have been something to see, in itself) and prop her up on the main gun?  Ha!  I've been in a tank buddy, there just ain't that much ROOM!

I remember seeing a pretty pathetic War movie a few tears ago. I don't know the name. Maybe someone can help if I give the general plot.

On the American side we have Doug McClure flying a P40. His partner is shot down in the North African desert and he lands to pick him up. Fior some reason they can't take off again.
They are pursued by a crazy German Tank Officer in a Panzer Mk 2 or 3. I think the German is played by Richard Basehart.
McClure and his mate are running away from the tank by 'taxiing' the P40 until it overheats, then they stop and wait fro it to cool down and then go again.
They prop up the tail of the plane so the guns are aiming at the tank a couple of times but they don't stop them.
That's the guts of it.
I remember it being very B grade, and ridiculous.

I think I'll go to Basehart' or McClure's site and see if I can see it listed in their 'Movie list'

I remember watching that movie when I was a kid!  I have been wondering for years what the name of it was.  I checked the Internet Movie Database for both actors you mentioned, but it wasn't there for either, and there were only three movies where they acted together.  None of the movies were it.  BTW,  I don't remember them using P-40's in Africa.  Did they?

[Professor Brensec]

Yes they definitley used P40's in Africa.

US, British and Australians all flew them in Africa.
They were very well suited to the desert campaign.

There are 'Desert" paint jobs available for CFS1 & 2.  ;D

Speaking of P-40's, another big stinker:  '1941' :-/  

John Belushi flying a P-40 down Hollywood Blvd!

Pearl harbor sucked to put it nicely! >:( >:( I think they should burn the film and make a movie that actually portrays the event well! A pearl harbor survivor I know said it was the worst movie he had ever seen (thats pretty bad!).
