Trivia

The whole pre-credits sequence in its entirety was taken from the studio's previous picture, Operation Crossbow. This movie would also utilize footage from the studio's earlier 633 Squadron, most noticably the shot of Munroe rolling on the ground to extinguish the flames on the back of his flying jacket, after rerturning from the recon mission.
