21 mistakes
Directed by: Guy Hamilton
Starring: Michael Caine, Trevor Howard, Harry Andrews, Curd Jürgens
Squadron Leader Colin Harvey: Never let me catch you doing a victory roll over my airfield again. Understood?
Trivia: During the attack by Heinkels from Norway across the North Sea English Squadron Leader says "help yourself everybody, there's no fighter escort." In reality the Heinkels had an escort of twin engine Me 110s. In 1968 there were no airworthy Me 110s so the movie ignored them.
Question: Did Sgt. Pilot Andy loot the mantle clock he can be seen carrying when he is returning from helping to rescue bomb victims, to the refuge shelter?
