Re: Twelve O'clock High!

I saw this movie but it was way after the TV show that was inspired by it. The show ran from 1964-67 (3 seasons). It starred Paul Burke as Colonel Joe Gallagher the CO of the 918th BG. I remember one episode of a B-17 commander who was out for revenge for a certain area of Flak going to a target for the destruction of his friends. In the show he broke formation and bombed it. It seems there was in reality a island covered with flak batteries in the war that the Allies did bomb.
