00:02:07What happened to lieutenant Davis the ship? I don't know for sure sir
00:02:11We were up ahead tearing for home and Davis cut in on the radio and reported zeros on his tail
00:02:16Right after that his radio went out
00:02:21Well get yourself some food and then turn in your reports. I'm afraid they're lost sir
00:02:26As long as there's gas in the tank there's still a chance yes, sir
00:02:45I
00:02:45Certainly did a job take a look at those pictures

00:04:33Missing
00:04:35Missing
00:04:38I'd have never been able to bring the bomber back
00:04:40If it hadn't been for Pettis
00:04:41If you want to give us the details now
00:04:43We're holding up the report
00:04:44It's kind of hard to explain in ordinary reports
00:04:48What happened out there
00:04:51Is all mixed up with
00:04:53What happened years ago
00:04:56You see, Pettis and I went to school together
00:04:59He was a typical slum kid
00:05:01Kicked around from the start
00:05:05Had a chip on his shoulder against the whole world
00:05:07And me in particular
00:05:09It wasn't his fault
00:05:11His father was in the pen most of the time
00:05:13And my father was a school principal
00:05:17Lost track of him after we grew up
00:05:21Until I went in the district attorney's office
00:05:24Had a few run-ins with him
00:05:26In my line of work
00:05:29I could never hang anything on him
00:05:32One day last year
00:05:33I went down to Coney Island
00:05:34Where he was running a shooting gal
00:06:05You see, it's as easy as you can
00:06:06He's eating cake
00:06:06Here, let me show you
00:06:07Get it up there
00:06:08Okay
00:06:08That's it
00:06:10What do I do now?
00:06:11Squeeze, baby
00:06:12Squeeze
00:06:15Oh, Foxy
00:06:16I thought you were going to teach me
00:06:17Oh, the trigger, baby
00:06:21I hit it
00:06:22A bullseye
00:06:29Hello, Foxy
00:06:35Hit the rope
00:06:36But Foxy
00:06:37Shove off
00:06:38Well, of all the sluggy guys
00:06:42What do you want, copper?
00:06:45Sorry about your father, Foxy
00:06:49What are you trying to do?
00:06:50Salve your conscience?
00:06:51What happened wasn't my fault
00:06:53I just took him in for a routine check-up
00:06:56Oh, sure
00:06:57Every time the old man would get a job
00:06:59You'd show up and they'd bounce him
00:07:00You never let him forget for a minute
00:07:02That he was an ex-con
00:07:02That isn't true
00:07:03You hounded him to death
00:07:05Have a good morning
00:07:06Go ahead
00:07:08You're a brave musler, aren't you?
00:07:11The gun holds only seven shots
00:07:12He knocked down seven ducks, so
00:07:14Very sharp
00:07:16But you always were
00:07:19About your father, Foxy
00:07:21I had to do a job
00:07:24Came here to tell you I'm sorry
00:07:25And I'm telling you I won't forget
00:07:29Someday I'm going to get you
00:07:30Just the way you got my old man
00:07:32The Japs might beat you too
00:07:33I enlisted yesterday
00:07:36So long
00:07:38So long, sucker
00:07:46Nice chat
00:07:47That was Foxy
00:07:48To him, any guy who'd enlist
00:07:51Would be a sucker
00:08:02They assigned me to Kelly Field
00:08:04I came out as a flying sergeant
00:08:07Wanted all the fundamentals, so
00:08:09I volunteered for gunnery school
00:08:11They sent me to Hags
00:08:14That's Harlingen Army Gunnery School
00:08:17The tip of Texas, near the Gulf
00:08:25The tip of Texas, near the Gulf
00:08:25The tip of Texas, near the Gulf
00:10:09You're all volunteers, and I'm not going to pull any punches.
00:10:12Your navigator may map your course.
00:10:14Your pilot may take you there.
00:10:17Your bombardier will destroy the objective.
00:10:19But it's up to you, the gunner, to smash the attacking enemy so that your bomber will come
00:10:24home safely.
00:10:26We can't take any chances on you.
00:10:28If you don't make good, you'll be washed out.
00:10:30You're either a good gunner or you're a dead gunner.
00:10:33And the operation on which your ship is sent will die with you.
00:10:37The safety of your ship, your safety, the safety of the entire crew depends on what you learn
00:10:43here.
00:10:44Remember that, and I'm sure that you'll come through as the best gunners in any man's army.
00:10:49Second squadron, tension, legs on the left shoulder, fight.
00:10:59Second squadron, six paces forward, march.
00:11:04Squadron, up.
00:11:06Left face.
00:11:09Forward, march.
00:11:18One and halt.
00:11:21Right, face.
00:11:24Flight A, one step forward.
00:11:26March.
00:11:29At ease.
00:11:35Each flight will have an instructor who will stay with you throughout the entire course.
00:11:41Instructor for flight A, Sergeant Pettis.
00:11:51Sergeant Jones.
00:11:53Glad to know you, Jones.
00:12:01You can put the bag down.
00:12:03What's your name?
00:12:04Private Laswell.
00:12:06You sleepy?
00:12:07Kind of.
00:12:08Hey, caught up just my last job.
00:12:11Yeah, what was that?
00:12:12Night clerk in an auto court.
00:12:15Relax.
00:12:21Gadget plane.
00:12:22Private plane, sir.
00:12:23Radio operator.
00:12:24Glad to know you, Gadget.
00:12:26Button up.
00:12:32Private lunch, sir.
00:12:34Sure glad to be in your class.
00:12:36Where are you from, son?
00:12:37Well, my home's not far from here.
00:12:39I sure hope I get to be a gunner, sir.
00:12:42Yeah?
00:12:43Well, keep your nose clean and your eyes peeled and you'll make it.
00:12:50Hello, Foxy.
00:12:52Well, fancy meeting you here.
00:12:54Small war, isn't it?
00:12:56Yeah.
00:12:57And not very exclusive.
00:13:01All right, men, you're on your own.
00:13:05Until 5.30 in the morning.
00:13:08It's the middle of the night.
00:13:14Hey, Foxy.
00:13:17Listen, I can't help you being in my flight, copper.
00:13:20But outside of class, give me room.
00:13:22Oh, forget the grudge, Foxy.
00:13:24We're both in the army for the same reason.
00:13:25Yeah?
00:13:26I'm in it because I was drafted.
00:13:27You're in it because you're a chump.
00:13:29You're just blowing off steam.
00:13:30Okay, you be the hero.
00:13:32I got me a soft touch where I can order stoops like you around for the duration.
00:13:37Say, I'd better to break your heart to get washed out, wouldn't it?
00:13:40Wouldn't make me happy.
00:13:41Well, that's splendid, Sergeant.
00:13:44I'll see you in class.
00:13:52No weapon is any safer than the man behind it.
00:13:55Even though the gun is a gunner's best friend.
00:13:58And now, it's a knife and a fork.
00:14:03Blaine.
00:14:07Yes, sir.
00:14:08Uh, what is that thing?
00:14:10Oh, it's just a gadget I invented.
00:14:12America's secret weapon?
00:14:14Oh, no, sir.
00:14:14It's a tool of a hundred uses.
00:14:17You see?
00:14:19First, ice pick.
00:14:22Knife.
00:14:23And a fork.
00:14:26And like that, a coat hanger.
00:14:29And a bottle opener.
00:14:34Corkscrew.
00:14:35Well, isn't that wonderful?
00:14:36Yes, sir.

00:14:41You don't say.
00:14:42Yes, sir.
00:14:44Anybody got any, uh, tobacco?
00:14:46Tobacco?
00:14:47Yes, sir.
00:14:49Oh, I forgot to tell you.
00:14:50It's a pipe, too.

00:14:53Pay attention.
00:14:54Yes, sir.
00:14:59Sergeant Davis, what is meant by a vertical lead?
00:15:02A vertical angle by which a gun must be moved above or below a straight line from the muzzle to
00:15:07the target, so the projectile will pass through the target.

00:27:03what a guy what a guy i'm quite a guy myself you'll only give me a chance to prove it
00:27:09really
00:27:10you know you promised me a dance the yankees are very very stubborn
00:27:19so foxy outsmarted you in the first round
00:27:23i admit i felt like a wounded pigeon but he had one advantage he could leave the post every night
00:27:29and i
00:27:54could
00:27:55we progressed to firing 30 caliber machine guns at stationary targets
00:27:59sandy was doing better now and i maybe because i have peggy on my mind
00:28:04it was getting worse
00:28:06foxy did everything he could to wash me out came the big day when we advanced to firing 50 calibers
00:28:11and
00:28:11moving targets there was to be a post dance that night
00:28:15fox had invited peggy and gotten her a pass to watch the firing trials
00:28:22so
00:28:43Ready, Barkley.
00:28:45Roger.
00:29:13Better watch your eardrums.
00:29:16Short bursts, and watch your traces for lead correction.
00:29:23Oh, my God.
00:29:57If they all fire at the same target, how can you tell who hits it?
00:30:00Each one has different colored bullets.
00:30:02They lay their marks on the target.
00:30:28I've been thinking about you all week.
00:30:37All right, Jitterbug.
00:30:38The army can wait.
00:30:40Don't forget.
00:30:47You look mighty good up there, Sandy.
00:30:49I'm glad you were here to give me moral support.
00:30:53Load your guns while I pick up the target.
00:31:02I suppose these target trials are very important.
00:31:05This and the last step.
00:31:06Firing for one plane at targets told by another.
00:31:09If they pass these last two phases, they're in.
00:31:11And if they don't?
00:31:12We trade them to the Brooklyn Dodgers.
00:31:22That one's ready.
00:31:23Here's your dirty laundry.
00:31:25Well, now, next batch, give me some real speed.
00:31:26I've been running the car at 35.
00:31:28I'll run at full speed this time.
00:31:29But my instructions say...
00:31:31Hey, listen.
00:31:31There's a guy out there.
00:31:32I want to slap his ears down.
00:31:34The car's liable to jump the track.
00:31:35What's the matter?
00:31:36You chicken?
00:31:37I tell you, it's not geared to hold the track at full speed.
00:31:39Anyhow, I'm not supposed to.
00:31:40Okay, I'll do it myself.
00:31:42How are you going to get off if it gets going too fast?
00:31:44Shut up.
00:32:03Runaway car.
00:32:04Sergeant Pettis is on it.
00:32:05Out cold.
00:32:06Runaway car.
00:32:07Sergeant Pettis is on it.
00:32:09Out cold.
00:32:23Hey, that's a headquarters car.
00:32:26Hey, that's a headquarters car.
00:32:42No state, they're doing nothing.
00:32:44Go ahead, Tripper.
00:32:44The automatic Tripper won't work.
00:32:46He snagged an accelerator.
00:32:47I can't stop him.
00:32:48We've got to do something.
00:32:49He'll be smashed to bits.
00:33:03He'll be killed.
00:33:07He'll be killed.
00:33:08He'll be killed.
00:33:19He'll be killed.
00:33:22He'll be killed.
00:33:22He'll be killed.
00:33:27ceux vousox my squat saw you in trouble.
00:33:28See you next time, talk to you.
00:33:28Stop it.
00:33:29Stop it.
00:33:29Stop it.
00:33:29Stop it.
00:33:35Let's go.
00:34:01Poxy, darling. Poxy, are you all right?
00:34:05Peggy.
00:34:06Oh.
00:34:08What's all the commotion?
00:34:13Sleeper, come here.
00:34:16Miss Jones, Private Lasso.
00:34:17How do you do? Miss Cassidy, Mr. Blaine.
00:34:20How's the weather up there?
00:34:21Miss O'Donnell, Gadget, Sleeper.
00:34:23My buddy.
00:34:36Having trouble with the drinking machine, sir?
00:34:38I put a nickel in it, nothing happened.
00:34:40Well, you just let me at it.
00:34:42I don't know whether I told you not, honey, but I'm a mechanical wizard.
00:34:44So that's what you are. I was wondering.
00:34:46You better let him fix it, girls, or he'll pout all evening.
00:34:49Here, hold my hat. I got work to do.
00:34:54This is interesting.
00:34:55I told you not to start with that thing.
00:34:57Reminds me of something I once took upon Peoria.
00:35:00Get that fixed or I'll take you apart.
00:35:02Give him a chance, boys.
00:35:10How is he? I... You were in there so long.
00:35:13The doctor says he can leave by morning.
00:35:15Oh, that's fine.
00:35:16I know you... You came down as his day, but how about going to dance with me?
00:35:21Well, it's been sort of a strenuous day, John, and I think maybe I'd better go on home.
00:35:26I understand.
00:35:30Ship shape. Never even bust my hat.
00:35:32My hat, please?
00:35:33Who's got a nickel?
00:35:35There you are.
00:35:41What did I tell you? She's working.
00:35:44It's all yours, Lieutenant.
00:36:01Peggy, I'll only be here another week.
00:36:04I know this sounds kind of sudden, but...
00:36:07I see the war's changed a lot of...
00:36:08I'm sorry, John. What were you saying?
00:36:11Gosh, do I have to start all over again?
00:36:14John.
00:36:16Foxy just asked me to marry him.
00:36:20Marry Foxy?
00:36:22You surprised?
00:36:25Yes, sort of.
00:36:26Well, to tell you the truth, I am, too, a little bit.
00:36:29You know Foxy.
00:36:32Yeah.
00:36:34I know Foxy.
00:36:37Well, see you at graduation.
00:36:39Bye.
00:36:40Bye.
00:36:46It's over with you, Davis. You played the game too straight.
00:36:49Sprague, you're a confounded cynic.
00:36:51She had a right to make up her own mind.
00:36:53We had a lot of work to do, and...
00:36:56I tried to forget.
00:36:59We had learned the preliminaries.
00:37:01Now came the real test.
00:37:02Firing from a plane in simulated combat at a towed target.
00:37:06Two such flights might mean the difference between getting our gunner's wings...
00:37:09...or being grounded for the duration.
00:37:12We were plenty nervous that day in the flight room.
00:37:15Waiting for our turn to go up.
00:37:21You'll need those fingers, Sandy.
00:37:23This is worse than waiting to have a tooth pulled.
00:37:27B coming in from air to air trial.
00:37:29Flight A up next.
00:37:31On the line in five minutes.
00:37:33All right, boys. That's us. Check your equipment.
00:37:44They button up your Mae West.
00:37:45You never can tell when you'll end up in the Gulf.
00:37:50I'm glad that's over.
00:37:53How'd you do, chubby?
00:37:54How should I know? I had my eyes closed most of the time.
00:37:57Don't worry about our flight. We'll lick the pants off of you guys.
00:38:00Wait me when the score comes in.
00:38:04Uh-oh. Here comes the bad news.
00:38:13Well, I'm mighty proud of you fellas.
00:38:15Average above passing with only one exception.
00:38:17Exception? Hope it ain't me.
00:38:19Three?
00:38:21There must be some mistake.
00:38:24I'm sorry, Johnston.
00:38:25That was your second try.
00:38:27You'll be okay with the ground crew.
00:38:29Yeah, but I want to be a gunner.
00:38:31That's what I joined up for.
00:38:33I'm sorry, Johnston.
00:38:39Never mind, kid.
00:38:40You tried.
00:38:52Flight A to the flying line.
00:38:55Flight A to the flying line.
00:38:57So you think you did pretty good up there today, huh, Benson?
00:39:00Well, even money off flight doesn't score as well.
00:39:02I'll take some of that.
00:39:04Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:39:05This is strictly between Benson and me.
00:39:07A month's salary, we beat you.
00:39:08How about it, sucker?
00:39:10You got a bet, soldier.
00:39:11Better draw that money in advance.
00:39:13I'm going to need it for a wedding ring.
00:39:16Okay.
00:39:18Hey, where's Gadget?
00:39:22Come on, Gadget, we're up.
00:39:25Hey, what the devil are you so interested in?
00:39:32Come on, will you?
00:39:40Come on, Gadget.
00:40:11Come on, Gadget.
00:40:11How about you?
00:40:15Come on.
00:40:22Come on, grenadget.
00:40:23How about you?
00:40:23How about you?
00:40:29Let's go.
00:40:59Let's go.
00:41:45Let's go.
00:42:10Let's go.
00:42:40Let's go.
00:42:42Let's go.
00:42:55Line number 22, go ahead.
00:43:29Line number 24, go ahead.
00:43:50What's the matter with your number 24?
00:43:52Why don't you fire?
00:44:00Take me down, I can't fire!
00:44:03Take me down!
00:44:13What are you going into?
00:44:14Let's go!
00:44:14Let's go!
00:44:14Let's go!

00:47:24Let's go!
00:47:51Let's go!
00:47:54Let's go!
00:47:56Let's go!
00:47:57He gave his fight for his country.
00:48:00I know he was never afraid.
00:48:04Let me carry on for him.
00:48:09I promised I would.
00:48:14Please.
00:48:16I've tried so hard.
00:48:20Can't...
00:48:21Can't you give me some help?
00:48:31dear lord help me to find this train be with me tomorrow when when i'm
00:48:42up there again i've got to make good i've just got to
00:48:58um
00:49:22Sandy, I'm sorry about what happened this afternoon.
00:49:26I just hated to see you mess up your firing test.
00:49:29I can't blame you.
00:49:31Now, look, kid, there are loads of jobs in the Army.
00:49:33Suppose you got into administration.
00:49:35You'd be near home.
00:49:36I'm entitled to another trial tomorrow.
00:49:37Sure you are.
00:49:39I just hate to see you go up, that's all.
00:49:41Thanks for trying, Foxy.
00:49:43I'll be all right tomorrow.
00:50:12I'll be all right.
00:50:19After what happened yesterday, I sure got ahead of the kid.
00:51:03I'm in line 24.
00:51:05Go ahead and fire.
00:51:09Fire.
00:51:10Fire.
00:51:11Fire.
00:51:11Fire.
00:51:12Fire.
00:51:12Fire.
00:51:12Fire.
00:51:13Fire.
00:51:46Get this out, quick!
00:52:05Sandy didn't bail out.
00:52:07Thanks, 25, 23, and 22. Return to the post.
00:52:11I'll go.
00:52:14There we are!
00:52:21Crashboat, come in. Crashboat.
00:52:23Crashboat, Lieutenant Savage, speed. Go ahead.
00:52:26Shoot the plane packed up.
00:52:27Three miles beyond lifeguard station.
00:52:29Fly a captain's plane. Hurry!
00:52:31Come on, boys, let's go.
00:52:35Fire, going in.
00:52:35Fire, come in.
00:52:40Tiger, go in.
00:52:44Fire, go!
00:53:06Not too long, please.
00:53:23Hello, Sandy.
00:53:27Foxy.
00:53:30I should never have let you go up.
00:53:33My own fault.
00:53:36Burn away gun.
00:53:39What did you say?
00:53:41I had sent that gun myself.
00:53:45Never was any good at those things.
00:53:51How'd the boys make out?
00:53:54Oh, fine.
00:53:56They all passed.
00:53:57Sleeper and Gadget are outside.
00:54:00They're getting their wings, Saturday.
00:54:04Yeah.
00:54:05So would you want to let this out.
00:54:08No use kidding, Foxy.
00:54:12I'm washed out for good.
00:54:19I tell you, it's Foxy's fault.
00:54:21If you hadn't called him a coward in front of the company, it'd force him to go up again.
00:54:26Good evening, Miss Lund.
00:54:27We were waiting around to hear about Sandy.
00:54:37You know, there's something you really ought to invent.
00:54:40Yeah.
00:54:41What?
00:54:41A zipper for your lip.
00:54:44I'd better let you get some rest, kid.
00:54:47Wait.
00:54:52Is this what you want?
00:54:57My father's only sent back from Hawaii.
00:55:07Don't talk, Sandy.
00:55:09They came over at Don Hickham Field.
00:55:15He never woke up.
00:55:20They sent us this.
00:55:24I swore I'd carry it over to Tokyo.
00:55:29You will, Sandy.
00:55:30You and me.
00:55:32We fly over Tokyo together.
00:55:35You gonna ask for combat?
00:55:39Sure.
00:55:40We'll both get in the same outfit.
00:55:44Take it.
00:55:45Oh, now, look, Sandy.
00:55:47Carry it for me, Foxy.
00:55:52You're a good fighter.
00:55:55Like my father.
00:56:00I never made it anymore.
00:56:15Doctor.
00:56:26Sandy.
00:56:29Oh, Sandy.
00:56:31Sandy.
00:56:33Oh, Sandy.
00:56:37Sandy, I...
00:56:38You made him go up after you knew how he was and you made him do it.
00:56:43Peggy, there was nothing I could do.
00:56:44Don't touch me.
00:56:58Don't touch me.
00:56:58You made him go up after you knew how he was.
00:57:03Come on.
00:57:14Don't touch me.
00:57:24Don't touch me.
00:57:52Men of Harlingen, within the next few weeks, you will be fighting for your country in Alaska.
00:57:58The South Seas, Britain, Africa, on all the battlefronts of this globe-circling war, that you are ready is evidenced
00:58:07by the fact that you stand before me to receive your gunner's wings. Wear them proudly, for they are your
00:58:13mark of achievement.
00:58:18Sergeant Michael O'Banion.
00:58:27Sergeant Henry Jones.
00:58:35Sergeant Jonathan Davis.
00:58:39Sergeant Jackson Laswell.
00:58:42Sergeant Bluncelot Blaine.
00:58:45Sergeant Bluncelot Blaine.
00:58:48Sergeant Michael O'Banion.
00:58:49Sergeant Michael O'Banion.
00:58:52We pause to honor a member of your class who is no longer with us.
00:58:57He did not find the going here easy, but above all else, he wanted to be a gunner.
00:59:02He knew his handicaps, yet despite a first failure, he came back to try again.
00:59:07His was the kind of courage which inspires the rest of us to keep fighting no matter what the odds,
00:59:13no matter what the personal cost.
00:59:16On behalf of the Army Air Corps and this class, we award, posthumously, to Sergeant Sanford Lunt, the wings of
00:59:25an aerial gunner.
00:59:46For the first time since he was a kid kicking around the gutters of New York, spitting in the face
00:59:52of fate, Foxy seemed late.
00:59:55I suppose the girl was through with it.
00:59:59It was a tough break for her.
01:00:01But then I was in love with her, too.
01:00:04She let me kiss her goodbye, no promise, of course.
01:00:07But I left with the feeling that when I came back, I had a chance.
01:00:11A few days later, I got my commission.
01:00:13I was assigned here.
01:00:15You mean you left without kissing Foxy goodbye?
01:00:18He wouldn't even see me.
01:00:20I guess he hated me more than ever.
01:00:23After I was here a few weeks, you sent for me.
01:00:28Remember?
01:00:36You sent for me, sir?
01:00:37Yes.
01:00:37The San Francisco plane brought something for you.
01:00:40A new tail gunner.
01:00:42Sergeant!
01:00:50I understand you two know each other.
01:00:52Yes, sir, we do.
01:00:54Take charge, Lieutenant.
01:00:55I'm due on the line.
01:00:56Yes, sir.
01:01:01I thought you didn't want any action.
01:01:03A guy can change his mind, sir.
01:01:05Never mind the formality.
01:01:06Yes, sir.
01:01:07Coincidence in sending you down here.
01:01:09Coincidence my foot, sir.
01:01:10I asked to be sent.
01:01:12Look, Foxy.
01:01:12If you're going to let that grudge carry you 5,000 miles...
01:01:15Oh, no, it wasn't that, sir.
01:01:16No, indeed.
01:01:16It was a picture of a South Sea babe that I saw in a magazine.
01:01:19Oh, she was gorgeous.
01:01:21And you know how I am about that.
01:01:22Come on.
01:01:23Meet the rest of the crew.
01:01:24Yes, sir.
01:01:31Headshot!
01:01:33At ease!
01:01:37Look what just dropped in.
01:01:38Hi, Gadget.
01:01:39Hello, sleeper.
01:01:39Getting caught up on your napping?
01:01:41Hi.
01:01:42Hello.
01:01:45Sergeant Trask, our bombardier.
01:01:47Foxy Pettis, our tail gunner.
01:01:48Glad to know you.
01:01:49Same here.
01:01:50Pack it right here.
01:01:50I'm upstairs.
01:01:51Oh, swell.
01:01:52Say, uh, uh, wasn't Jonesy with you fellas?
01:01:55That was his bunk.
01:01:57They're shipping him back on the same plane that brought you in.
01:02:00Jonesy?
01:02:01Yeah.
01:02:03One unlucky slug from a zero.
01:02:06Oh, that's tough.
01:02:08He was a good guy, Jonesy.
01:02:10Downright he was a good guy.
01:02:11And so was Sandy.
01:02:13Gadget.
01:02:14What's the matter?
01:02:15Head it out.
01:02:18See you guys later.
01:02:24Here, let me help you.
01:02:27Let's get on over to PX before it closes.
01:02:29Closes?
01:02:30Why they don't close to...
01:02:31They know that.
01:02:32Let them alone, Trask.
01:02:37I thought it was going to be hot in the South Seas.
01:02:45Sleep and Gadget resented Foxy's presence from the beginning.
01:02:48They still blamed Foxy for what had happened to Sandy.
01:02:51They didn't want him around.
01:02:53Living in such close quarters, sooner or later there was bound to be a blow-off.
01:02:58You forgot to jump, sucker.
01:03:00I'm not very good at this.
01:03:01Sandy taught him how to play.
01:03:03He wasn't very good either.
01:03:04Now listen to me.
01:03:05I've taken all the riding I'm going to take, see?
01:03:07Yes.
01:03:07If either one of you mentions Sandy's name again, I'll...
01:03:09Get down!
01:03:11What's the matter with you guys?
01:03:13Nothing, sir.
01:03:13He was just...
01:03:14Now listen to me, both of you.
01:03:16We've got to work together.
01:03:17Otherwise, we're no good as a bombing crew.
01:03:19If you don't want a team with Foxy, then you can ask for a transfer.
01:03:22And by George, I'll recommend it, too.
01:03:24We don't want that, sir.
01:03:25Well, then stop acting like a couple of schoolgirls.
01:03:27Yes, sir.
01:03:28Get out on the line and make the ship ready for a bombing mission.
01:03:31You mean we're going up?
01:03:32I don't know.
01:03:33We've got orders.
01:03:34Go out and check the ship.
01:03:34I hope this isn't just another fire drill.
01:03:37Foxy, go on out there and check your guns.
01:03:38Yes, sir.
01:03:39And, uh, thanks.
01:03:42What?
01:03:43Thanks.
01:03:44They were getting me down.
01:03:46I thought I heard wrong.
01:03:48You're welcome, Foxy.
01:03:50Wait a minute.
01:03:52I've got something for you.
01:04:03Now, when you reach this point, you'll each head for your own target.
01:04:07Lieutenant Brandt, you'll concentrate on the hangars.
01:04:10Yes, sir.
01:04:11If you get any ships in the open, get them, too.
01:04:14Right, sir.
01:04:16Lieutenant Davis, your objective is the barracks.
01:04:18Use all the pictures.
01:04:20Yes, sir.
01:04:21Ferguson gets the tanker, is that clear?
01:04:23Yes, sir.
01:04:25Now, if you meet any fighters, don't stop the spar.
01:04:27Your job is to unload your bombs and get your ships home safely.
01:04:31We can't afford to lose any of them.
01:04:32We understand, sir.
01:04:34That's all.
01:04:35Set your watches.
01:04:37Takeoff is set for 1330 hours.
01:04:40Good luck and give them the works.
01:04:43Yes, sir.
01:04:43Well, there we go.
01:04:45All right.
01:04:46All right.
01:04:47Hold that.
01:04:47Yeah.
01:04:49Yeah.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:05:05Yeah.
01:05:06Yeah.
01:05:07Yeah.
01:05:09Yeah.
01:05:21Sergeant Trask, Lieutenant Davis. We're in the danger zone. Be on the alert.
01:05:27Wide awake, sir. No signs of any life yet.
01:05:33Sergeant Blaine, Lieutenant Davis.
01:05:36We're getting close, Gadget. Going up, sir.
01:05:45Take over, Sarnoff. There.
01:05:52Hey, Foxy. How's everything back there in the caboose?
01:05:56Pretty lonesome.
01:05:58I'll speak to the colonel. Maybe the next time he'll send a hostess along.
01:06:03Order one for me, too, Lieutenant.
01:06:13There he is, men. Right straight ahead.
01:06:16Lieutenant Brandt, Ferguson, Lieutenant Davis.
01:06:20This is where we part company. Pick your spots.
01:06:23Roger.
01:06:33We're going in low and fast. Is that the way you want to trask?
01:06:36Roger.
01:06:43Bombay door is open.
01:06:44Look at the gun.
01:06:56Admiral Brandt.
01:06:59Good job,ец.
01:07:00We've got a little bodyguard.
01:07:00Barway.
01:07:02Barway.
01:07:06Barway.
01:07:07Barway.
01:07:08Barway.
01:07:08Barway.
01:07:09Barway.
01:07:11Barway.
01:07:12Barway.
01:07:22Good work, Trask.
01:07:23Sorry. Give him one for my uncle.
01:07:26Your uncle?
01:07:27Yeah, he used to sell them scrap iron.
01:07:29Let's get him something free.
01:07:31Okay, here's for your uncle.
01:07:32A sneaker.
01:07:53Good boy, Trask.
01:07:55They won't be sleeping there tonight.
01:07:57Bonds away, sir.
01:07:59We're starting the acting.
01:08:06Come on, give me a chance, Adam.
01:08:07I want to break in this chopper.
01:08:09Not this trip, Marcy.
01:08:11We've done our good deed for today.
01:08:15See if the others are ready to go home.
01:08:18Lieutenant Sarnoff to Lieutenant Brant and Ferguson.
01:08:21How's tricks?
01:08:25They got the hangers in the tanker.
01:08:26They're up ahead of us, going home.
01:08:28Good.
01:08:30Funny, we haven't seen any Jap planes.
01:08:32No, we may have caught them all in the hangers.
01:08:34I hope so.
01:08:36That's a beautiful fire you left back then.
01:08:48Zero's way up on my left.
01:08:51Everybody on the interphone, heads up.
01:08:52Zero's on our tail.
01:08:54Upper left, don't try to run them out.
01:08:55Put your guns on them.
01:08:56Understood?
01:08:57Okay.
01:08:58They're coming like that.
01:09:02I count five.
01:09:04I can't see them from here.
01:09:06I better call the other speed.
01:09:08Lieutenant Davis, it's Brandon Ferguson.
01:09:11There's a flock of zeros on our tail.
01:09:13Need a hand?
01:09:14Don't be a chump.
01:09:16We heard what the colonel said.
01:09:17No matter what happens, get these ships home.
01:09:19Right.
01:09:20Here's luck.
01:09:21Now step on it.
01:09:22Don't wait.
01:09:25We'll be right.
01:10:07First blood.
01:10:39Hey, Slipper, one's going downstairs.
01:10:41Get him!
01:11:00There's only three of them left.
01:11:02Okay!
01:11:23I've got mine.
01:11:26Okay!
01:11:26Talk up another one.
01:11:31Slipper!
01:11:32Get him!
01:11:33He's gone down under!
01:11:35Slipper!
01:11:37Answer me!
01:11:54That's all, sir.
01:11:55He ran out.
01:11:57Slipper!
01:11:59Slipper!
01:11:59Take over on the hit!
01:12:03Slipper!
01:12:07Gadget!
01:12:09Gadget, come on down and help me.
01:12:11I've got to make a landing.
01:12:13I've got to make a landing.
01:12:18I've got to make a landing.
01:12:20There's a clear field ahead.
01:12:28You're done!
01:12:29Give me a minute!
01:12:29Wi-Fi.
01:12:29Get out land?
01:12:29Oh, my God.
01:13:00Sleep.
01:13:02Yeah.
01:13:04You'll get plenty of sleep now.
01:13:07Foxy.
01:13:08We made none of us come out of this alive.
01:13:11I'd feel a lot better if you and I could make it up.
01:13:16I never learned how to talk, John.
01:13:19Maybe this will help.
01:13:27Dear Foxy.
01:13:30John wrote that you were down there with him.
01:13:33I know now I did you a terrible injustice.
01:13:36And I'm writing to ask you to forgive me.
01:13:39You were all just doing your job.
01:13:42Sandy would have gone up again, no matter what happened.
01:13:46He had to do his job, too.
01:13:49About you and me, it's better that it ended as it did.
01:13:55You must realize that now.
01:13:58I'd never known anyone quite like you.
01:14:00And you felt the same way about me.
01:14:03With John, it's different.
01:14:06I haven't told him yet, but when he comes back, I'll be waiting.
01:14:12Please don't feel too bitter toward me, Foxy.
01:14:15But someday, when all this is over, I'd like to see you again.
01:14:21Sincerely, Peggy.
01:14:25Well, we can't all win.
01:14:28He's a great girl.
01:14:29Hmm.
01:14:30You can say that again.
01:14:31Lieutenant!
01:14:32Suppose I told you I can get in the mode for you.
01:14:34Can you?
01:14:35Your ex can be?
01:14:36The mechanical wizard?
01:14:37It's just the ignition wiring.
01:14:39Give me about five minutes.
01:14:41But are you sure you can lift her out of here?
01:14:43You fix it, and we'll see.
01:14:45I'll fix it.
01:14:47Hey, we got company.
01:14:48Yeah, sniper.
01:14:49Hurry up, get that wiring.
01:14:50Well, how about that?
01:14:51Shut up!
01:14:51Get to work, John.
01:14:52You get it, the control's ready to take off.
01:14:57There must be more than one of them.
01:14:58Gadget, how long will it take you to get that wiring?
01:14:59Well, about five minutes, anyway.
01:15:01Well, I'll hold them off as long as I can.
01:15:02And Gadget, don't start taking things apart.
01:15:04Put them together.
01:15:29Kill, it's possible.
01:15:40Hurry up, Gadget!
01:15:42The pace is alive with them!
01:15:44Hurry up, Gadget.
01:15:46He can't hold them off much time.
01:15:47I'll do them the best I can.
01:16:07Okay, try it now.
01:16:09Attaboy.
01:16:20Attaboy, Gadget.
01:16:22Go on back and signal Foxy.
01:16:27Foxy!
01:16:28Come on, we're ready to go.
01:16:30Tell them to take off.
01:16:31Get going.
01:16:33But Foxy, we can't leave you.
01:16:37Foxy!
01:16:38I can't make it!
01:16:40They'll have their grenades to get before you get off!
01:16:44He won't come.
01:16:45Send it again before he made it.
01:16:46He wants you to leave.
01:16:47He's placing it back.
01:16:53Foxy!
01:16:54Come on!
01:16:55Get that bomber out of here before I let you have it!
01:16:58Now get going!
01:17:08Keep coming, you lizards!
01:17:10You'll never get that bomber!
01:17:11Come on!
01:17:13Come on!
01:17:30All right.
01:17:32Here goes.
01:17:33Here goes.
01:17:57So long, sucker.
01:18:10How are we doing, Sandy?
01:18:20He gave his life so we could fly our bomber home and use it again.
01:18:24We will, Foxy, for you and Sandy and Sandy's father.
01:18:27And all the others who died to keep the stars and stripes flying over free America.
01:18:31We'll keep smashing at them again and again until we finish them for good.
01:18:36That, Foxy, I promise you.
