:05:01
Or Palm Springs to get a suntan.
:05:03
Today's target, gentlemen, Kiel.
:05:06
As you can see,
a short run across the North Sea.
:05:10
Kiel is important because
of enemy submarine pens.
:05:13
Here they are, in this inlet
just south of the harbour.
:05:16
Hitting these pens will protect our supply
lines for Operation Torch in North Africa.
:05:20
As group commander, Col. Emmet will
be in the lead ship of the lead squadron.
:05:25
You will take your instructions
from him. Colonel.
:05:30
Capt. Rickson will lead
the low squadron.
:05:33
Capt. Woodman, the high.
:05:35
Most of the flying will be
over water.
:05:38
Don't get your hopes up
that this will be a nice milk run.
:05:41
Reconnaissance reports a flak corridor
running through the target area.
:05:44
And fighter attacks can be expected.
Stay together.
:05:48
Keep your formations tight
and drop your bombs when I do.
:05:52
And remember,
no broken field running.
:05:56
This is a team effort.
:05:58
Navigators and bombardiers
will remain for navigation briefing.
:06:02
That's all, gentlemen.
:06:04
Max, get the flak area.
Come on, Bolland.
:06:07
- What's the hurry?
- The Body's waiting.
:06:13
Well, figure it out for yourself.
:06:15
- This is our seventh mission, right?
- Yeah.
:06:17
We average three a week for the
next six weeks. That's 18, right?
:06:21
- Well, 18 and seven is 25, right?
- Right.
:06:24
We should be home in time
for the World Series.
:06:26
- Farr, that's crazy figuring.
- How come?
:06:29
Do you know the chances of all of us
coming through 25 missions alive?
:06:33
- I mean, mathematically.
- Don't tell us. I hate math.
:06:37
Hey, Prien, that medicine's rotgut.
:06:40
Why don't you take that belly of yours
and have it operated on?
:06:44
My stomach was all right
back home.
:06:46
Why didn't you leave it there
instead of sticking us with it?
:06:48
Hey, no one in the whole 8th Air Force
drives a car like Buzz.
