Re: Twelve O'clock High!

The story told in the book and movie is based on the challenges of leadership in the real 306 BG. The character of Frank Savage is modeled after General Frank Armstrong, who commanded the 306th in January and February 1943. Even the fictional "918th Bomb Group" is derived by multiplying 306 by 3.
