| User Reviewstephen mThe rating isn't for the quality of plot and acting. They are typical. However... the film is an incredible wealth of real color carrier footage which I haven't seen in any other source. |
| User ReviewJames HRather tame war story, but it is interesting throughout and well put together. Some good aerial footage, reasonably good performances.Tends to being a little to sentimental. |
