Goofs
When Munroe makes his approach to bomb the prison wall, the Germans look vertically up and run away, even though his Mosquitto is then shown to be still sufficiently far away and to be low enough to be close to the horizon.

This is not a quality film as far as directing, dialogue, or acting. However, it does have a decent plot-line and a lot of fine footage of the twin-engined British DeHavilland Mosquito light bomber in action. It is rare to see this aircraft in a war film and I therefore recommend that war movie buffs tape this one and keep it in their collection. The plot involves the precision bombing of a French chateau and underground German "V" rocket lab. David McCallum is, as usual, a very like-able character.
