One of Our Aircraft Is Missing (1942)

Directed by Emeric Pressburger, Michael Powell

Adventure | Drama | War

Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

One of the early Powell & Pressburger collaborations. It’s partly propaganda (understandable for the time), but still a pretty good adventure film. Interesting note: Ronald Neame was the cinematographer and David Lean was the film editor.
