DVD Reviews of Thunderbolt
DVD Review: just a real pig of a fighter bomber
Summary: 2 Stars
I had recently seen Catch-22 which takes place
in the same time period at a field across the way.
Somebody is lying here. Since this film is a WWII army backed film
and it took years for Catch 22 to be recognized, I think it is the writer
of the narration here. If you know anything about fighter airplanes
of WWII, you know that the B24 and the P47 were like the liberty ships,
a lot of them were made and not very well to a design that was
pretty flawed. The Mustang was the fighter that America could be proud,
but the P47 just fell out of the air for no apparent reason
even when maintained well. The P47 weren't meant to be bombers
and had no real bombsight, so they wasted a lot of bombs
when they could have been used better.
The men who flew endless missions and just weren't given any real leave
by the army air force is the true history not written by the overpowering victors with stars on their shoulders who are willing
to get other men killed for their glory.
I actually liked the contrast of this "go-go" film
and what investigation of the actual history tells us.
America made a lot of propaganda films in this era:
some even had some truth to them?
