If you're in the mood for a bomber flick check out "Fortress".

Although I would have done things a bit differently if they had asked me I thought it was well done overall.

I started watching Fortress some time ago. Haven't finished it yet but the idea seems sound. The actors have a very limited range however. Watching them stand as a group and try to portray hangovers or fatigue is hilarious as they experiment with different facial expressions.

I was wishing for this since BOB came out but never thought they would do it as the audience likely wouldn't be into it as much as BOB. As long as its not like Red Tails it will be good.

After Red Tails, I'm looking forward to seeing crews maintain radio silence.
Good luck to them though. Aerial films must be incredibly hard to do even tollerably well. Considering how many terrible failures there have been.

DBW was fine.

Maybe its just Hollywood has trouble.

I'm wondering if they're going to base this on 'Wild Blue", written by the same chap who wrote Band of Brothers.

Feature aircraft was The Dakota Queen.
