'Shady Lady' is the epic story of the B-24 Liberator aircraft called 'Shady Lady' that set off from Darwin on Friday, 13 August 1943 on what was at that time the world's longest ever bombing mission of WWII to the oil refineries at Balikpapan, Borneo.

Shortly before running out of fuel, 'Shady Lady' was crash landed on a remote salt pan in Northern Western Australia after flying for 16 hours and 35 minutes. With help from the Aboriginal Community, 'Shady Lady' amazingly flew again.

What a boring film. Very pedestrian with wooden actors not much of a story i.e. Plane goes to bomb enemy and comes back - wow!

Before i was recomened to watch it, i thought it would be quite a decent film, but no.
