At one point Price (Peter Graves) says either of the following when referring to an American POW:
(1) "... he was from the 35th Bomb Group and the 366th Bomb Squadron out of Chelveston ..." OR
(2) ""... he was from the 305th Bomb Group and the 366th Bomb Squadron out of Chelveston ..."
A cousin of mine was killed in action while serving as a ball turret gunner in the 305 BG, 366 BS, out of Chelveston. He and two Waist gunners were killed instantly by flak. The seven others bailed out and spent the rest of the war as POWs. I am trying to track those seven and it could be that someone involved in producing the film may have a connection to the 305BG/366BS. Does anyone know exactly what he says or know where I could find out. I don't have a copy of the film and would like to get the answer on the internet having to rent it or wait for it to be on TV again.
