1. Ah-ten-hut!Copy !req
2. At ease, gentlemen.Copy !req
3. Exactly one year ago to the day,Copy !req
4. the Eighth Air Force sent
up its first maximum effort.Copy !req
5. It was a combined
force of 12 B-17s.Copy !req
6. Today, the Eighth will be
sending up a max effortCopy !req
7. with three air task forces.Copy !req
8. - Yeah.
- Totaling 376 heavy bombersCopy !req
9. and 240 fighters.Copy !req
10. - Not bad, huh?
- Yeah.Copy !req
11. That's the largest air armada ever
assembled in the history of mankind.Copy !req
12. Yeah!Copy !req
13. Yes!Copy !req
14. Now, we will be in
the first task forceCopy !req
15. targeting the Messerschmitt 109
engine assembly plant in Regensburg.Copy !req
16. Second and third task forces will
hit the ball bearing factoriesCopy !req
17. in Schweinfurt.Copy !req
18. And no war machine moves
without ball bearings.Copy !req
19. If we succeed,Copy !req
20. we knock German production
off line for months.Copy !req
21. There's no telling how
many lives we could save.Copy !req
22. Corporal.Copy !req
23. - Dear God.
- Oh, boy.Copy !req
24. This is Regensburg.Copy !req
25. And you're probably thinkingCopy !req
26. that's a lot of flying
time over Kraut territory.Copy !req
27. It is.Copy !req
28. It's the deepest we've
attempted to reach.Copy !req
29. But the mighty
Eighth has a plan.Copy !req
30. Major Bowman?Copy !req
31. Go get 'em, Red.Copy !req
32. It's a three-punch comboCopy !req
33. and the Krauts will only be
able to defend one of them.Copy !req
34. So, execution and timing
will be essential.Copy !req
35. Major?Copy !req
36. Why does that red line go
all the way down to Africa?Copy !req
37. That is a characteristically
astute question, Curt.Copy !req
38. And I'll answer that
in a moment, if I may.Copy !req
39. All right, all right.
Laugh now. All right.Copy !req
40. Now, the three task forces will
assemble over the channel together.Copy !req
41. And then split here.Copy !req
42. Now, the Luftwaffe will only be
able to mount a sizable defenseCopy !req
43. against our first task forceCopy !req
44. before having to head back
to base to rearm and refuel.Copy !req
45. And when they finally
get back in the air,Copy !req
46. the second and third task forces
should be dropping their bombsCopy !req
47. on the ball bearing
factory in Schweinfurt,Copy !req
48. while we're dropping
our bombs on Regensburg.Copy !req
49. Now, to answer your
question, Curt.Copy !req
50. As we drew the...
How can I put thisCopy !req
51. the shitty end of the
stick on the approach,Copy !req
52. and we're taking the brunt
of the enemy fighters,Copy !req
53. the brass, they've come
up with an ingenious planCopy !req
54. that is sure to confuse
the hell out of the KrautsCopy !req
55. when we're a no-show
for the return.Copy !req
56. That's because you're
headed to Africa, gentlemen.Copy !req
57. The 12th Air Force will welcome
you with open arms, ice-cold beerCopy !req
58. and lobster tails.Copy !req
59. It'll be like a holiday.
Y'all like beer.Copy !req
60. If we get lucky.Copy !req
61. Thank you, Red.Copy !req
62. And now for some bad news.Copy !req
63. In our wing, we're
tail-end Charlie.Copy !req
64. Worst spot in the squad.Copy !req
65. Yeah, yeah, yeah.Copy !req
66. Lives ain't worth a nickel.Copy !req
67. The lead squadron is the 418thCopy !req
68. with Major Kidd as command
pilot of the group.Copy !req
69. In addition, Major Egan will be
flying in Captain Cruikshank's fort,Copy !req
70. as reserve command
pilot of the group.Copy !req
71. Major Veal leads the 349th and
the 351st in the high position...Copy !req
72. What, I got a fucking passenger?Copy !req
73. Apparently so.Copy !req
74. There you are.Copy !req
75. Now, it seems like we have a
little tricky weather pressureCopy !req
76. in the early hours. Stormy?Copy !req
77. Let me guess, it's gonna rain.Copy !req
78. Hundred-percent chance.Copy !req
79. That's quite right, sir.Copy !req
80. Over the base today, gentlemen,Copy !req
81. cloud cover stands at about
five-tenths stratus at 4,000 feet.Copy !req
82. Topped by five-tenths...Copy !req
83. What the hell is a
"reserve command pilot"?Copy !req
84. I don't know.Copy !req
85. - You had nothing to do with it?
- Visibility will be...Copy !req
86. What?Copy !req
87. Cloud invisibility should
be good over the AlpsCopy !req
88. and on your way south to Africa.Copy !req
89. Thank you, Stormy.Copy !req
90. Now, the success of this mission rests
upon getting all three task forcesCopy !req
91. precisely coordinated
over the channel.Copy !req
92. If we don't rendezvous in sync,Copy !req
93. well, there's no pass fake.Copy !req
94. That means a fake
pass in sports talk.Copy !req
95. 05:20 in ten seconds.Copy !req
96. Good luck,Copy !req
97. and I'll see you
all in a few days.Copy !req
98. Hack.Copy !req
99. This is Clear-up
Radio to aircraft 567.Copy !req
100. All aircraft are advised
that takeoff has been delayedCopy !req
101. due to heavy fog.Copy !req
102. The entire wing is on temporary hold.
Stand by for further instructions.Copy !req
103. Clear-up Tower, this
is aircraft 567.Copy !req
104. Roger temporary hold.
Standing by. Over.Copy !req
105. "Lord, guard and
guide the men who flyCopy !req
106. through the great
spaces of the sky.Copy !req
107. Be with them traversing the air in
darkening storms or sunshine fair.Copy !req
108. Thou who dost keep with tender might,
the balanced birds in all their flight.Copy !req
109. "Thou of the tempered winds, be near,
that having thee they know no fear."Copy !req
110. All three task
forces are socked in.Copy !req
111. We got a 30-minute delay.Copy !req
112. "Fly through lonely
ways beneath the sky."Copy !req
113. You're on the way through purgatory
and you reach a fork in the road.Copy !req
114. One road goes to Valhalla,Copy !req
115. the other goes to
hell. Damnation.Copy !req
116. On each of the road is a goblin.Copy !req
117. One goblin always
tells the truth.Copy !req
118. The other is a tricky little
fucker. He always lies. Okay?Copy !req
119. What's the one question
that you need to askCopy !req
120. that's gonna tell you
the right way to go?Copy !req
121. Jesus Christ.Copy !req
122. - Hey, Lieutenant. You got a visitor.
- That is a class woman.Copy !req
123. Stand by for 30 more minutes.Copy !req
124. Do you ever have any
good news, Garcia?Copy !req
125. You got complaints? Take
it up with operations.Copy !req
126. Hey! Strongly worded
letter to follow!Copy !req
127. Delayed another
half hour, fellas.Copy !req
128. Why can't we just take off?Copy !req
129. Because we can't. It's fog.Copy !req
130. Haven't the pilots
been trained for that?Copy !req
131. Yeah. Isn't that what
they get paid for?Copy !req
132. Sure.Copy !req
133. They can fly upside down with
a lollipop in their mouth.Copy !req
134. But if there's a
cow on the runway...Copy !req
135. A cow on the runway?Copy !req
136. Where do you come up
with this shit, Quinn?Copy !req
137. We're in a flying fortress.Copy !req
138. We can take on a cow.Copy !req
139. Alice isn't a Buick, Baby Face.Copy !req
140. She's a tin can.Copy !req
141. If we go head-to-head with a cow,
she'd accordion. With us in it.Copy !req
142. I see your cow.Copy !req
143. Peanut butter, peanut
butter, peanut butter, jam.Copy !req
144. I'd turn your cow
into ground beef.Copy !req
145. Bucky.Copy !req
146. Bucky.Copy !req

148. How'd you convince
Harding to let you fly?Copy !req
149. What do you mean?Copy !req
150. You, Buck, Veal, Kidd?Copy !req
151. Three squadron COs
and an Air Exec.Copy !req
152. Lot of eggs in one basket.Copy !req
153. Yeah, I've never seen so much
brass in the same mission before.Copy !req
154. Well, I wasn't gonna
miss this one, was I?Copy !req
155. Wait, wait, wait. Do you ask
it, "Are you the good goblin?"Copy !req
156. No. No, but you're
getting closer.Copy !req
157. You're smarter than
I thought, Croz.Copy !req
158. Ten bucks says the second
and third task forceCopy !req
159. - is already up in the air.
- Nah.Copy !req
160. Nah, they wouldn't hit their target
before we formed up with them.Copy !req
161. What if they do?Copy !req
162. Then this genius plan is shit.Copy !req
163. Come here, Meatball.
Come on. Good boy.Copy !req
164. Hey, Buck.Copy !req
165. Hey, Curt.Copy !req
166. Some soup, huh?Copy !req
167. Yeah.Copy !req

172. Antsy.Copy !req
173. Not me.Copy !req
174. I'm feeling good.Copy !req
175. I feel like this could
be a big one, you know?Copy !req
176. - It is.
- I think we could do some real damage.Copy !req
177. Well,Copy !req
178. better get back to the ant farm.Copy !req
179. See you in Algeria.Copy !req
180. See you there, Buck.Copy !req
181. Here you go, sir.Copy !req
182. LeMay wants us wheels up.Copy !req
183. He doesn't wanna wait for
the other task forces.Copy !req
184. What do you mean?Copy !req
185. They'll have to catch up, sir.Copy !req
186. Engine start at 06:40. Send up
a flare to resume operations.Copy !req
187. Yes, sir.Copy !req
188. We're sending them
straight into hell.Copy !req
189. Alone.Copy !req

197. They said we'd get the
brunt of it, buddy.Copy !req
198. Yeah, I know. I know.Copy !req
199. But the other task forces were
supposed to be sweeping up after usCopy !req
200. to make sure they don't
come back for seconds.Copy !req
201. Where are they, huh?Copy !req
202. Via, you sure you
don't see anyone?Copy !req
