It's kinda unfair that these get measured up against BoB, which is an all time classic, because this (and The Pacific) are still so good measured against most anything else. As a kid I was fascinated with WW2 bombers, in part to my grandfather serving in a B-25 unit in the Philippines, and finding his mementos (which were all eventually lost..grrrrr). https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1113&context=ww_reg_his Watching things like this makes me wonder what trauma he endured that he never shared with us. He died when I was 6, but I'm told he never ever talked about his wartime service. Saved that for the VFW, I guess...
