One of Our Aircraft Is Missing

UK (1942): Drama/War

During the Allied Bombing offensive of World War II the public was often informed that "A raid took place last night over ..., One (or often more) of Our Aircraft Is Missing". Behind these sombre words hid tales of death, destruction and derring-do. This is the story of one such bomber crew who were shot down and the brave Dutch patriots who helped them home. Written and directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Features Godfrey Tearle, Eric Portman, Hugh Williams, Bernard Miles, Hugh Burden and Emrys Jones as the crew of "B for Bertie." Pamela Brown, Joyce Redman and Peter Ustinov appear as helpful Hollanders. (IMDb)
