Experience authentic WWII aerial combat through the eyes of Hollywood legend Clark Gable, who traded
stardom for a bomber crew position in the U.S. Army Air Forces.

This is Part 2 of the groundbreaking 1945 documentary following the 351st Bombardment Group as they
conduct dangerous bombing missions over Hitler's Europe from their base in England. Narrated by 1st
Lieutenant Clark Gable himself, who flew five real combat missions and had his boot struck by flak during
filming.

Watch as B-17 Flying Fortress crews face intense anti-aircraft fire, fighter attacks, and the harsh
realities of strategic bombing campaigns. This film showcases the incredible bravery of both air and
ground crews who turned the tide of WWII.

Originally produced as a recruiting film for aerial gunners, this documentary stands as a powerful
testament to the courage of the Eighth Air Force.
