Re: Twelve O'clock High!
Also, you might recall the famous crash-landing scene near the beginning of the movie, and the description of what co-pilot "Cobb" endured in getting his B-17 back to base. His experience is based on the actual ordeal of John C. Morgan, co-pilot in the 92 BG's Ruthie II, during a mission to Hanover on 26 July 1943. Morgan was awarded the Medal of Honor that day, as described on page 64 in Freeman's "The Mighty Eighth."
