Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe aircraft used in the film is a B-50, a modified version of the venerable B-29 Superfortress of World War II fame. B-29s were used in the Korean War early on, but by 1952 had been mostly phased out for the somewhat updated B-50 version.
- GoofsThe large aircraft in the background on the movie poster appear to be multiple Boeing B-52 Stratofortresses, which did not enter active service in the U.S. Air Force until 1955, several years after the movie takes place (1952). Also, the mission is specifically assigned as a single plane mission because of the accuracy required in the bombing of the target.

A. flight crew goes on an unescorted bombing run on the bridges over the Yalu River during the Korean War.
It's an interesting cast, with John Ireland, William Schallert, Hugh Beaumont, and Bill Williams in the crew. One of the problems with it is that it fits neatly into the World War Two Flyer Squadrom genre of the period. Change a few lines of dialogue, and convert Marla English from an Okinawan to a Scottish lassie, and you have a decent movie of the previous war. Since most of it is shot on a stage decorated like a bomber's cockpit, it's clearly a very cheap feature, with little to recommend it.
