Documentary about one bombing mission over Germany by the American Eighth Air Force, from the initial planning of the mission thru its final completion, with all of its intricacies from beginning to end.

A documentary on the US 8th Air Force's bombing campaign against Germany in World War 2. In particular we see what goes into a bombing mission: the high-level planning and decision-making, how the order is then cascaded down through the organisation, how it is translated into lower-level plans and operations, the individual groups' preparations for the mission, the mission itself and the aftermath.—grantss

Nice period companion piece to the 2024 Masters of the Air limited series. The real deal. Shows the crews airplanes and briefings for a mission in great detail with narration and dramatic music. American humor shows through as presenters crack jokes to lighten the grim mood. B17 and B24s from England.
