INCIDENTALLY: The Dam Busters
That splendid monthly enthusiasts publication AIRCRAFT ILLUSTRATED has
a contributor ”Captain Plummet”, a man whose words ABTN has plundered
from time to time. Rumour has it that the film classic of the 1950”s
Dam Busters is about to be subjected to a Hollywood remake. Now that
is rather like a red rag to a bull and together with the good captain
some research has been undertaken, together with our wide screen
expert Howard Hughes the third, who knows little about films and even
less about ”planes.
Hollywood of course is on familiar terms concerning wars, most of
which were won by the Americans. That”s why there has never been a
film about the Battle of Trafalgar.
