Fortress
Battles were fought on the ground, wars were won in the sky.
Directed by Mike Phillips
Produced by Bayou Pictures, Diamondback 99
A WWII drama centered on a young pilot's struggle to earn the trust of his bomber crew during dangerous raids, balancing camaraderie with the grim realities of aerial combat.
When the commander of the crew of a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber is killed in action in a raid over Sicily in 1943, his replacement, a young, naive pilot struggles to be accepted by the plane's already tight-knit Irish American crew.
