Storyline

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 by Steve Crook <steve@brainstorm.co.uk>

Trivia

This film's closing epilogue states: "That was going to be the end of our story. BUT - first, the Actors . . . - and then the Technicians - . . . all of them wanted to know what happened afterwards to the crew of the B for Bertie. So - three months later - . . . THE NETHERLANDS WILL RISE AGAIN!" See more »

Goofs

Errors in geography: Whilst his name has become a synonym for a traitor, Quisling is clearly repeatedly mentioned with contempt as a specific person by the Dutch. In reality, however, Quisling was the Nazis' puppet-leader of Norway, not the Netherlands. See more »

Quotes
