I think it was either Tallman or Mantz who said that was the most dangerous scene they'd ever filmed - because of the possibility that one of the B-25s might lose an engine during the takeoff.

An awesome and most-impressive scene in so many ways.

That scene alone required more than a dozen takes.

(Also, the one they burned was number 18.)

That's quite a fun scene to watch.  I remember seeing a story about it when I was too young to realize what I was seeing.
