I had a great time watching this film. Even though it had just one action sequence in the air, the drama unfolding on the ground was captivating enough to keep me hooked. And let's talk about those planes — real ones, not the CGI we see everywhere today. The authentic roar of the Rolls Royce engines added so much to the experience. Plus, Roy Chadwick was responsible for Avro Lancaster. He was also behind what I think is the most beautiful bomber, the Avro Vulcan. If you're into this subject matter, you'll get a kick out of this film. My only gripe was why a plane not meant for bombing runs was loaded with bombs.
