Twelve O'Clock High
Twelve O'Clock High
In this story of the early days of daylight bombing raids over Nazi Germany, General Frank Savage (Gregory Peck) must take command of a "hard luck" bomber group. Much of the story deals with his struggle to whip his group into a disciplined fighting unit in spite of heavy losses, and withering attacks by German fighters over their targets. Actual combat footage is used in this tense war drama.

Great film that highlights the psychological toll of leading men in combat. I loved how they built the tension using the returning plane count.
