The Bloody Hundredth

I didn't know about this documentary until after Masters Of The Air had come out, therefore I had no idea what to expect. I am so glad I watched it first.

This documentary covered so many things, I have to limit my review.

The movie Memphis Belle articulates the 25 mission completion, then return home protocol. However what most don't know is, the Norton Bombsite aiming mechanism, was a failure. Apparently, the aiming mechanism consisted of the only straight hair of a single American Native Woman. Who am I to judge?

Anyways, I divulge. I was delighted to see, interviews with two of the Red Tails. I have watched both movies based on these brave airmen, your job is to find out who they are.

When I heard Luft III mentioned, I knew straight away, where the documentary was going, in this this particular part. For the young, and the older who have forgotten? The Great Escape.

Another documentary which name escapes me, shows the humanity of the Camp Commandant.

When he found out that most of those who had escaped, were capture and executed; he had a monument erected to commemerate them. I'll leave you to your thoughts.
