While I think David McCallum played a better role in The Great Escape.... Between 633 squadron and this...I'd have to chose 633 squadron everytime... one hell of an epic theme. Ron Goodwin always did good. Plus most of the footage for this movie was made for 633 5 years before this one.

Though I preffer this overall.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jynq4lEwbew

Ahh some damn good movies.

(The end of mosquito squadron was quite disappointing too...then again special effects didn't help it much...*cough* bazooka part)

This is *the* scenario for Mosquitoes.

If you like the Mossie and don't fly in this, we are going to take away your "I heart Mossies" bumper sticker and kick you out of the club.

I'd be there if I could, but it falls squarely during my work hours.

633 Squad. Not  a bad book series, either.
