I'm interested in a 40-line explanation of the whole process (i.e., not just a few sentences -- more detail than that -- but not such a large amount that no one will tell me 
).
brooke.....here is my short but sweet version....
we all waited for the air races to be over, kermit logged in sayin " this should only take and hour or 2" (anyone in kermit world knows that hour or 2 equals 6 hours miniumum) we practiced taking off of the cv, i finally learned to back up a b25 on a cv. so after everyone practiced it was time to get everyone in place. i acutually was able to parallel park my b25 but still have trouble doin it in my car (not needed where i live much).
one at a time we upped with kermits orders after he was ready to roll film. we all kept ourselves entertained while waiting for our turn. after everyone lifted we flew around the cv waiting for others to up as we all upped we would form up on those already in the air. the NOE part was the hardest. kermit wanted us in a single file line...DIDN'T work....but he was able to get the shots he needed.
keep in mind by this time it was already 4 hours into the filming.....2 hours my butt...damn frog..
anyways one at a time he called us in to do a shot of us coming up to the land. giving us different orders each. i was the b25 that was NOE over the trees that popped up to 1500ft to bomb. it was cool shot after i watched the movie i was able to pick out my flight
it was alot of fun, we spent long hours, then like a week or so later kermit had us back in there for a "hour" aka frog time "4 hours" to do some other shots with the zekes chasing the b25. not to mention the bombers on the runway doin their "training" when the b25 flew over the field. that shot was awsome!
kermit yelled at me cuz i couldnt turn my zeke
i tried but kept knocking my wing off. so i kept tryin and still didn't get it. by this time everyone was dying to shoot each other down. it was all we could do to behave and get the filming done and over with
im sure kermit will have a better story but this was my point of view. it is always fun to help kermit with a film, first one i helped him with was "carrier sortie" that was awsome and i dont remember but i think i wasn't yelled at much in the makin of that film either. i could be wrong.
<<S>> kermy, the doolittle memory will live on through each and every one of us that has watched this film. i am sure if they were able to see this film that they would be proud and honored. it was a pleasure to help with this film and be a part of it. a great group of guys helped in the filming of this movie and i would wing with them any day. <<S>> 4440, A8Nisky, Blue, Condor00, dtis30, DUGY, HB555, Hibbie2, Strip, RDRTrash, Wannab and xSHAUNx
