    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The overall concept of the plane lost in the Libyan desert and not found until years after the war is based on the true story of the "Lady Be Good," a B-24 Liberator that overflew its base on the way back from Italy. The wreckage of the plane was discovered by a British oil exploration team in 1958. All but one of the bodies were found in 1960; the last was never found.
    • Goofs
      In the final scene, as Tony hits the baseball and then walks to pick it up, you can see a road and buildings on the nearby hill, not very likely if the wreckage had lain undiscovered for 17 years.
    • Quotes
      • Lt. Col. Josef Gronke: Don't ask me. I'm only the man in charge.
