A good film. I am former Royal Air Force and I remember the RAF Air Sea rescue boats we had in the 1970's when I was based in Cyprus at RAF Akrotiri. In 1975 they were returned to England not long after the Turkish invasion of the island in 1974. Air Sea rescue was carried out by helicopters using mainly by Sea Kings which were flown by the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. I believe Catelina aircraft where in service with the Royal Air Force during WW2 along with the then aging Walrus biplane and in conjunction with the boatd from the Royal Air Force marine craft units to help pilots who had to ditch in the sea during combat missions. The RAF Air Sea Rescue units saved many lives and still do today.

I was born in 1962 and I have a different perspective watching this movie. I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. My grandparents, one set born just after the end of WWI, told me all about living and growing up in those days. the other set told me all about living through WWII--as that side of the family served in the that war. My dad served in the military during Vietnam, and was in the first Gulf War. One thing I do remember about military personnel is how polite they are to the civilians. It is always please and thank you mam. My parents taught me to say the same to my elders. I called my Grandparents by their sir names, not their first names, nor by a nickname. It was Grandma Reed and such, until the day she died. It was out of respect. Women had more respect back before they demanded equal rights. My Dad taught my brothers to open the car doors for my sisters and my mother. I opened the doors for my grandparents! It was my Uncles who opened doors for me, and helped me with chairs--and such. Now I am disabled--and yes, it is nice in 2019--when a young child--opens a door for me. I thank them with a big smile. It is a common courtesy!! It has nothing to do with laziness. When I was young and healthy, I opened my own doors and such--but now I cannot. I enjoyed the part of the movie where they prayed too and sang a hymn. It brought peace to the group and unity. The idea that God created all humankind equally and cares for all us equally. It is sin that separates us from God--forgiveness from Him, brings us back into a relationship with Him. Running from God is running from His watch care. If we refuse God, we refuse His protection and care. If we do this in ignorance--sometimes He will send His angels to save us--until we realize who God really is--and make a willful choice as to who to follow. If we deliberately defy God--sometimes He will remove His protection as He respects our freedom of choice to not serve or follow after Him. Then our fate is in Satan's hands and that of his demons. There are only two choice in this world, good or evil. Some people by default of ignoring God, chose Satan. There is no fence sitting. This was a wonderfully clean film. Adventure, morals, ethics, and decent ending. Thanks for posting it. (Also remember, God gives to each person an assigned amount of days to live. When that time comes, our lives end. Even good people have a limited time on earth, when their allotted time has ended. This is why it seems good people die too soon, and evil persists, but it is only our human perception.) Thanks for posting this film. Blessings.

As a commercial pilot myself (gliders, private airplane) I enjoyed the aviation scenes a lot. You really had to work to fly in those days, no advanced search & rescue beacons, navigation systems or computer controlled aircraft. A simple story but well done--the people in the raft looked drained, and no phony make-up or hair styling of the actors like some modern films have used for disaster stories. I don't think the Southern Cross would show up from their position, but perhaps. Anyway, a lot of fun. (And if anyone wants a real story of sea survival in this period read "Raft of Despair", 33 days in the Indian Ocean, with sharks.)

The B17 were used in the task in the mid 1940s till the early 1950s when the SB-29 took over the task in the pacific, specially for the Korean war. The light weight higgins designed boats and parachute system was unique and allowed people in the water to get in and get dry without risking a PBY or other seapalne water landing in rough seas. Good stuff!

Not a sexy streamline aerodynamic wonder of the word but certainly one of the best ever built and the fact that there are still a lot of them flying backs that up.

It might not get you there fast but you’ll definitely arrive.

To those asking about if sailors were advised to pee in the water, to help fend off sharks... It Actually was true, according to my dad, who is a decorated WWII Naval Combat Veteran (Pacific). He said they were advised to do so, if they were ever forced to abandon ship, and into Life rafts. It was only years later, after the war, when they realized that it wouldn’t have done much, if any, good! My dad is currently living in a War Veterans Home, and his mind is still sharp! He participated in a total of 9 invasions of Jap Islands (5 major and 5 minor) as part of the Amphibious Forces.

The Consolided PBY was introduced in 1935 and served in all theaters. Since it was an amphipeous aircraft, it had wheels so it could operate off of land or water. It also served in the Pacific as a night fighter. In that configuration they were heavily armed and painted flat black with radar. They were named the "Black Cat Squadron"
@JS-fe8sx3 жыл бұрын
The amphibious version was introduced on the PBY-5A and didn't get delivered until October 1941. There were something like 800 of them made, amounting to about 55 or 60% of the total run. The version in the movie is, I think, a 6A model, first rolled out in January of '45. Those had the radome over the cockpit.

The Wright Brothers did NOT "invented" flight. Actually, the first public flight (officialy) in a flying machine was in Paris, by Santos Dumont's "14-bis", in 1906. Only later the American brothers appeared claiming they did it first... and until WWII they were not even recognized in their country as pioneers! But this is not taught in American schools.

Wasn't that long ago when all airlines allowed passenger smoking. Don't recall a plane ever blew up over cigarette smoking from passengers.

Yep
@cvcoco8 жыл бұрын
in fact that was the whole problem, it wasnt that one guy smoked creating danger, everyone was chain smoking and the choked cabin air is what caused the airlines to change when liberals were screaming about air pollution and "im offended! i'm offended!" Still never a mishap anyway.

Pretty good! It reminds me of Hitchcock's "Lifeboat."
@upthedownescalator6304 жыл бұрын
The lifeboat concept itself in this movie wasn't the spookiest part for me. That goes, (1, to the storm scene, and (2, to the crashing scene. The noise was sort of scary, but it was so good I didn't even care

Airplanes back then smelled like airplane fuel when flying. So I doubt you would be allowed to smoke, or risk blowing up the plane.

Like many of the comments spoke of, it is a very valuable story about survival. The investigation into the loss of the USS Indianapolis, which took place in the last month of World War 2, had been held in the immediate aftermath of the war. Americans in the early post war years that were lamenting the loss of their loved ones; especially those related to the loss of the USS Indianapolis, would have viewed this film from their own unique perspective, as almost being like an apology to them by the military for not doing more to lessen the scope of that Naval tragedy.

In real life she wouldn't have even looked back at him out the window as the plane took off. Her mind would already be focused on Jim's replacement - the backup simp she kept on hold in case things fell apart with Jim. Hypergamy.

Dad became a Bombardier in a B-17 in the US Army Air Core. His first mission in his B-17, Butch, his plane was the only one to return. On his 10th and last mission to Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany on 4-24-44, their B-17 was shot up badly on the mission, they dropped out of formation and were looking for a place to go down. A Swiss air force jet got their attention and they were guided by a Swiss fighter to Switzerland where they crash-landed in Switzerland. The crew exited the plane under the watch of Swiss Army guards with guns. Dad ran back into the B-17, at the objection of his crew, to get his wife's photo that was in a bible that he had left in the nose of the plane, we still have that bible and photo to this day. In Switzerland they were interned as Prisoners of war, but free to move about but not escape. In Switzerland, he played a Saxophone in a Band. They played at the large hotels and all the while he was looking for a way to escape. He Escaped from Switzerland by rowing across Lake Geneva to France with the help of two Swiss men and there he joined the French Underground. They would go out into the woods and capture the Germans who were put in charge of each French town and would bring them back for trial. He did this until the US Army came through liberating towns. He was then asked if he would volunteer to go into Germany as a spy. Dad declined saying he did not know the language well enough. So they shipped him back to the States. He remained in the USAF flying B-47s until his retirement as a Lt. Col after 20 years of service.
