★★★★ · Great footage of rare PBY recon/flying boat in action · Fireball Steve Zodiac · 2007-04-16
A good movie, cowboy mentality saves the day, and the PBY uses a jato (jet assisted takeoff) to get out of the drink. Determination and guts in a life raft story. Film quality is pretty good, no cigarette burns nor jagged edit cuts. Enjoy.
