I discovered this exceptionally cheesy movie, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (1954), last night while searching for Aviation History pictures. It tells the story of the conflict that arises between a small town in Norfolk (England) and the local RAF group when a bird sanctuary on the coast (called the Island of Children, for some unexplained reason) is set to be turned into a bombing range so the pilots can train for a deployment to Malaya (it’s not explicitly stated in the film, but it can only be a reference to the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ). The movie is eminently forgettable except for some great footage of 1950s-era RAF jet fighters, notably the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and a brief cameo by a pair of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I skipped through it and only watched the airplane parts. But stick around for possibly the lamest, most saccharine ending line in the history of softcore propaganda movies.

Entirely off topic (well, mostly): love the aviation history posts, been meaning to ask if you’ve played War Thunder before. I haven’t in years, but absolutely loved that game a few years back. They’ve changed alot since I last played, though.

Thanks for the kind words. It’s a lot of work, but it’s a labor of love. No, I have never played War Thunder, though I am aware of it. I’m not much of a gamer beyond the Lego titles.

“Twelve O’Clock High” and for Naval action, either “Mr. Roberts,” or “Away All Boats.”
