My Mother and i use to stay up late and watch all the old movies especially the ones around the war , WW2 , we missed this one , i miss her still today, it will be 17 years Jan 21, 2021. G you would have loved this movie.

This was my first time watching this movie.way ahead of its time.love these old movies.a true masterpiece. Ty for sharing it.

I was born in 1947, so I had to watch this. Thank you for all you do!❤

I'm 68 and I enjoy watching these classic movies I feel I am honoring the boys and men and women who stood for this country.

Thank you for all you hard work in saving those other films and documentres.

A good film. I am former Royal Air Force and I remember the RAF Air Sea rescue boats we had in the 1970's when I was based in Cyprus at RAF Akrotiri. In 1975 they were returned to England not long after the Turkish invasion of the island in 1974. Air Sea rescue was carried out by helicopters using mainly by Sea Kings which were flown by the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. I believe Catelina aircraft where in service with the Royal Air Force during WW2 along with the then aging Walrus biplane and in conjunction with the boatd from the Royal Air Force marine craft units to help pilots who had to ditch in the sea during combat missions. The RAF Air Sea Rescue units saved many lives and still do today.

These are the movies I grew up with as a young boy. Amazing how good, wholesome, and pride have become unwelcome today. Good luck to the future. I am glad I lived those days.

Loved the JATO Assisted Take Off in the PBY.
A friend of mine had a PBY-5A and I helped him crew it and fly it. After getting airborne Gus would sit in the old Engineer's compartment in middle of fuselage about mid wing.
Above his head were metal plates to cover where the glass fuel sight gauges (percolator tubes) would be.
These plates seemed to weep fuel as evidence by the stain.
Gus would light up a smoke despite us telling him to sit way in back if he wanted to smoke. This was in 1993.

What impresses me is how quickly great aircraft designs came to fruition during those war years.  The Catalina was the perfect amphibian aircraft for those days.  USAF-Ret, INav. 1:11:57

What a great movie my dad flew with air sea rescue in the Korean War in the B-17 second squadron his Airman's bag has the B-17 painted on it with a big yellow boat under it when i was a kid he would tell me how they would go out looking for people in the water and drop the boat this was really something to watch and see how it was done it's really nice to see how these old  movies where with God and prayer in them not the world we live in now

This movie is as old as i am. Another entertaining story. It is wonderful to see these old planes doing what they did best. Hurrah for the crews that kept them going.

My first ride in an aircraft was in a PBY. Along with other factors, it impressed me so much that later on I became a military pilot.

For all of you WWII aircraft buffs, that seaplane is a PBY. The PBY is also featured in Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical, "South Pacific".  

Reminds me of Hitchcock's "Lifeboat" movie.  With Tallulah Bankhead and other greats.  Is that Richard Denning as the captain ?  He was in the second "An Affair to  Remember" w/ Cary Grant & Deborah Kerr.  This a great survival movie.  Let's take notes.

Good morning everyone and God bless y'all together Amen .
And This Is A GREAT MOVIE Back in the days 60Th and I will for get these older movie I enjoy watching what I am looking at this morning and thank y'all facebook people for putting these older movie on the air.

This is a BEAUTIFUL Movie. Thank You.

Great to see rare actual footage of a "Dumbo" drop from a B-17. The B17 were used in the task in the mid 1940s till the early 1950s when the SB-29 took over the task in the pacific, specially for the Korean war. The light weight higgins designed boats and parachute system was unique and allowed people in the water to get in and get dry without risking a PBY or other seapalne water landing in rough seas. Good stuff!

All we which,  Old Classic war movies. Haven't  forgot.
Enjoy being  with the family

My Dad was a bombarder as a member of the Flying Tigers in China. We watched all of these movies and pictures of Dad and others look like these patriots.

I just watched it again. Much more enjoyable. A great movie. To call it a "B" movie woulkd beg the question: what would it need to be bumped up to "A" status? It's just terrific. Oct. 31, 2022. I'm 78.
