Great little WWII film - Reviewed on 2008-12-11
* * * *

Also known as 'The Way to the Stars' this 1940's British film follows the lives and loves of servicemen at an English airbase in WWII - the RAF unit that's stationed there first, then the American bomber unit that replaces them. It's one of those old black and white flag waving propaganda films that you stumble across on afternoon/late night TV - except that this one's better than average, not least when watching the American servicemen and the locals trying to make head or tail of one other. Worth watching if you've never seen it.

For aviation buffs the footage of B-17s shot for the film is actually the only known movie footage of B-17s from the Grafton Underwood airbase in Northamptonshire... except for some reason the footage has been reversed, so the P tailcodes are all facing backwards!
