Flight World War II Page #4

The axis will have this plane,

the technology,

and that book, which will

tell Hitler everything.

There will be a Nazi

flag flying all over the White House

all because you wanted to be a hero.

But maybe we can change the past,

but we can also screw it up.

Forever.

Now get back to your

seat. Shut the hell up.

- Yeah?

- Everyone Ok back there?

- Yes. Nothing we couldn't handle.

- We can always tie them up, then.

Taking fights at them.

Isn't it right?

- Yeah, Ah, yes, sir.

- We'll keep him out of your way, ma'am.

- Thank you.

- Thanks yourself.

That's why we make fire extinguisher.

- At our current speed, we've

got about 150 minutes in the air, tops.

That's not counting climbing

or descending, either.

- At least we know where we're headed.

We do know where we're headed, right?

- We should be just about middle of France.

- So if we maintain our course,

we should be able to

find some friendlies or a safe

landing place soon, right?

What happened?

- Some idiots on board

tried to hijack the plane

because they want

to kill Hitler.

Some soldiers on board tried

to peace the situation,

but passengers are

gonna need answers.

And soon.

- Corporal Nigel Shetfield

calling Captain William Strong.

- This is Captain Strong.

Go ahead, Nigel.

- So you're still here.

- I'm afraid you're stuck with us.

And that was more like ten minutes, Nigel.

- Yes, some things take time, captain.

I've talked things over with command

it's one of the boys in

the Western front and

while we're inclined to believe you,

talking about the time

travel you understand.

Your Intel about the

Lancaster seems to be accurate.

And the truth is...

This helped us out a lot.

I mean, no one on the ground

was able to ascertain the extent of the fire power,

And you guys would certainly

not give out that kind of information.

- On that, we are on the same

page about something, Nigel.

- Yes, well...

we could do with any

bit of good Intel we can now.

After duck!

Sorry about that.

it's just such a bloody runt.

- A runt?

No, no...

Allied forces evacuated

hundreds of thousands of troops.

- Evacuated?

Maybe you all seen a newspaper?

The Germans closed us

from both sides. it was a bloody slaughter.

Nearly half a million was killed.

Cut down.

- What is it?

- He said that Dunkirk was

a... was a slaughter.

That's not how it happened.

- Dunkirk was a hugely successful

allied evacuation mission,

they rescued 400, 000 troops.

- So if you're right...

the past that we're in...

is not the one that we know.

Sorry about that, Nigel.

- Well, captain, I suppose

the question is

How can I help?

- Right now, we need two things.

A safe route

and a safe place to land.

And also

any information you have on any

unusual storms in the area.

- I'll do what I can, captain.

What's your current position?

- We're near Vier,

near as we can tell.

Just passed Rhen not too long ago.

Heading in a straight line.

- You're nearing the German border, then.

What's your current air speed?

-400 knots.

- I hate to say this, captain.

But the first thing you need

to do is change course.

We've intercepted a

chat on German frequencies.

There's been talk of a

rather large aircraft near France.

- So, whoever is performing

these bombing runs,

knows that we're here.

Are there any friendlies in the

area? Anyone who can get their eyes on us?

- I've just got to say we

don't know exactly where you are.

- What if we were more viable?

- How'd you mean?

- We've been flying

with our NAV lights off.

But we can turn on our

landing and running lights.

- Are you sure about that?

Most of our systems are out.

- They're analog, right?

Here it goes.

- Nigel?

We've got something

coming straight for us.

- Uh, one moment, captain.

it could just be allies.

- Well, we've got company about

thirty seconds out coming fast!

- Well, captain, there are no

sightings of any aircraft in our area.

- Gentlemen, I need you

in your seats, now.

And not a word to

anyone. Get everyone secured.

- Will, I...

- Now.

- Captain, just got word that some

German activity is headed your way.

- All secure back here, captain.

- Some goddam Nazi plane.

- They've got jets, too?

They shouldn't have those yet.

- Kill the lights.

Talk to me, Daniel.

- they're coming in behind us.

- Oh, my God.

- They're still on us!

- I know!

- Captain. Will, are you there?

- Not now, Nigel.

Getting shot at!

- IA 42, do you copy?

Damn it!

- You got a plan?

- Yeah.

Kind of.

Don't freak out.

- What? Why?

3,000 feet.

2,000 feet.

Will, 1,000!

- So long! Pull!

- Two planes! Right behind us!

Damn!

Just hang on.

We need first aid kid

in the cockpit, stat!

Dan's been hit. Hang on buddy!

I got you!

- Oh, no, no, no, no.

- Hold on, buddy.

Just hold on.

Ok, Ok, Ok...

Alright. Let me take a look at it.

it's not as bad as it looks.

You sure about that?

It's mostly superficial.

You're going to need some stitches,

but it's going to have to wait.

You Ok?

Yeah... It hurts like a son

of a b*tch but I'll be fine.

How's the plane?

- Could be a lot worse.

Burned some serious

fuel during that move.

But not actively losing any,

We've lost cabin pressure.

I'll keep us below 15,000 feet.

- Is that bad?

- Definitely bad!

- Probably have to cycle it again.

Nigel!

We've got a problem, buddy!

Nigel!

- Did the radio get hit?

- No, it just got static.

I think we're out of range.

Oh, boy.

- So we can stay in cloud cover and stay safe

or we could talk to our friend

Nigel and get shot at!

And we can't land without

our front wheels. Perfect!

Captain?

- Just give me a minute.

- Will, if the passengers know

what's going on,

maybe some of them can help.

We have to work together right

now. All of us.

- Daniel, can you fly the plane?

- Yeah, I think so, yeah.

I'm going to need some

extra hands just in case.

- Stay with him.

Take my seat.

- Are you sure?

- I'm sure.

- Ok...

- Come on.

Come on.

- Sir, take your seat this instant.

- Keep us in the dark?

- Sir...

- We need to know if

we're gonna die out here.

- I need you to calm down...

- You haven't told us one thing.

- Sir... we want you to keep calm

and take your seat. Ok?

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm your captain.

William Strong.

And it's time...

...I tell you the truth.

- We're on the move, sir?

- Not you.

We need you to stay put.

Any news from our friends?

Not much.

Last I checked they were

in a Don't fight Jerry's.

I lost contact.

I fear that...

I'll keep trying, sir.

- If you manage to make contact,

you'll have to gather information about their radar.

- Yes sir. I'll do all I can.

- If it really is some kind of super plane,

better destroyed than captured by the axis.

We may have no choice than

to blow the damn thing out of the sky ourselves.

- I want to apologize for keeping

you in the dark for so long.

We encountered what we thought

was a weather anomaly, but it is something more than that.
