[Milsurplus] [armyradios] "The Mighty Eighth"

Lots of action but shoudn't they be wearing their oxygen masks at that altitude?

The only war movie I've seen the crew wear oxygen masks was "Twelve O'Clock High".

Anothter technical innacuracy that bothers me is the lack of hats or head protection in cold of polar environments. A good example is "Ice Station Zebra".

All hobbyist's live vicariously.

After reading some movie reviews in the NY Times I decided to check out the
sampler for a Korean sci-fi flic. Turned out to look to me like a total waste.
But I saw an offering of another, for the above titled movie. The B-17 combat
scenes look to me pretty convincing and scary, at least what I saw here. I 
don't know if the film actually has anything of plot development. I hadn't 
even heard of this movie before watching the trailer. I'll have to eventually
see the whole thing. I have quite an appetite for portrayals of war machines, 
smoke, flames, chaos, destruction. Vicariously.
