Against orders? Yeah, but
he said he'd be right back.
Well, he's jim's number two man.
He'd better be back.
Tell pilot jason
takeoff is in two minutes.
Yes, sir.
- All right, warm it up, mike.
- Okeydokey.
Waiting for mr. Jason, please. Yeah, yeah.
Tell him he'll be right there. Yes, sir.
right. You keep your mouth shut.
But if anybody's gonna take
woody's flight, it ought to be me.
Are you crazy? I've been flying
number two for jim for over a year.
I know every one of his
quirks, every one of his moves.
We're a team. Don't you
understand? Yeah, I know, but-
It's like he was the ball carrier
and I was his interference.
Yeah, sure,
but I still don't like it.
You're to stay on the ground.
Not so long as jim is in the air.
missed the 5:
15 again.You're gonna have a hard time talking yourself
out of this one. Who, me and pappy? No.
I wonder who's flying number
two? Where have you been?
I'm late. So what? So hap
took your flight, that's what.
All right, I'd do as much for him,
wouldn't I? But hap was grounded.
Yeah.
"a" leader to "a" two.
Go ahead.
What's the matter, jason?
Have you gone to sleep?
"a" two to "a" leader.
What do you want? Go ahead.
Hap! Where's jason? What are
you doing here? Go on back!
Sorry, jim. Remember me? I'm the
little man who's always there.
Besides, it's too late.
"a" leader to flight "a." nakajima
fighters on port quarter. Combat formation.
Attaboy, skipper!
Give 'em the old one-two!
Don't worry, jim.
I'm climbing his back porch now.
Pull out, hap!
Pull out!
I hope you two
had a good time...
'cause hap paid the check.
Jim.
There's an army truck out of here day
after tomorrow for lai chau. Be on it.
Don't say that, jim. Until then,
you're confined to your quarters.
But I'm still a good flyer.
I'll knock down ten of those
rats for every one of our boys.
It's out of my hands now. None of
these men will ever fly with you again,
And they have to fly.
yesterday...
December 7, 1941...
A date which will live...
In infamy.
The United States
of america...
Was suddenly
and deliberately attacked...
By naval and air forces...
Of the empire of japan.
The United States was
at peace with that nation...
And at the solicitation
of japan...
Was still in conversation...
With its government
and its emperor...
Looking towards the maintenance
of peace in the pacific.
I believe that I incorporate
the will of the congress...
And of the people
when I assert...
That we will not only defend
ourselves to the utmost,
But will make it
very certain...
That this form
of treachery...
Shall never again
endanger it.
hostilities exist.
There is no blinking
at the fact...
That our people,
our territory...
And our interests...
Are in grave danger.
With confidence
in our armed forces,
With the unbounding
determination...
Of our people,
We will gain...
The inevitable triumph...
So help us, god.
I ask that the congress
declare...
That since the unprovoked...
And dastardly attack
by japan...
On Sunday,
December 7, 1941...
A state of war
has existed...
Between
the United States...
And the japanese empire.
How are you, jim? Good, colonel. And you?
I don't have to tell you what
our entrance into the war means...
To the volunteer group
in china.
Our responsibility is grave. You and your
men will have to take greater risks now.
I think they know it, sir.
This hits them where they live.
I don't think any of them will
let you down. I'm sure they won't.
Come here.
Intelligence reports that the japanese
are starting a new drive from this point.
But to camouflage that move, they're
starting a fake attack from this point.
Under cover of which, they intend to
bring up supplies and munitions from here.
We must destroy this bridge and delay
the supply trains which pass over it.
I see. That's the only way we can
give general chiang kai-shek...
Sufficient time
to establish his defenses.
I know that area. It's a nest of
antiaircraft and nakajima squadrons.
Thank you. They can send
up an anac umbrella...
High enough to make
any attack ineffective.
I warned you what
we'd be up against.
But there's a way to do it, I think. Yeah?
A bomber squadron, even with our
protection, wouldn't stand a chance.
But a single ship might get through. How?
By flying through the canyons
instead of over them.
Taking off at dawn and hugging the
sides of the hills away from the sun,
A pilot might bring his ship through
the pass and directly over the bridge.
Sounds like hedgehopping to suicide. Maybe.
But if you think it can be done,
I'll order a bomber here right away.
I think we can use that transport. What?
They've been flying over
enemy territory for five years.
They get potted at, of course, but they don't
attract as much attention as a military ship.
What about bombs? It's got no bomb
rack, no bomb release, nothing.
We can figure that out.
There's eight or nine cans in our
munition dump marked, "nitro u.S.A."
I think I can find
a messenger boy to deliver them.
A job for a volunteer,
of course.
Of course.
Doggone it. You ought to
be tar and feathered, woody.
Getting yourself slung out of this outfit
just when things are getting exciting.
What's going on out there?
Huh? You heard me. What's happening?
That's the skipper's idea.
He's gonna go fix breakfast
for the jappies.
Gonna serve them soup.
Who's going with him? Nobody.
If you ask me,
it's a one-way trip.
These reports must go out daily to keep
colonel lindsay informed on our status.
Yes, sir. Ship norton to ground operation,
Selby and evans
Miller ought to be about ready now to start
in again with reardon as a team. Right.
That's about all, except you'll have to keep
after kunming for gas, oil and supplies...
And toungoo for replacements.
Take good care of the
store, mac. I will, sir.
I-
good luck to you.
thank you, mac.
Come in.
Yes?
I have dr. Singh's
report on barton.
How is he?
You can have him back
in a week.
Colonel lindsay's waiting
outside, jim. Right.
Jim!
Good luck.
Thanks.
I haven't wanted
to question you, jim,
But I thought you were
gonna call for volunteers.
It only takes one,
doesn't it?
thank you, colonel.
Mike, rev it down!
Mike, cut those motors!
What do you think you're doing?
Cut those motors!
Get into your parachute.
I'd land and throw you out if I could
take a chance on that cargo back there.
Bail out at 1,500.
You can't handle this crate all by
yourself. It's a job for two of us.
Somebody's got to handle this stick
while the other guy drops the stuff.
You know that as well as I do.
Not the way I got it rigged.
I know I've been a lot of trouble to
you since we first got to be friends.
You're the only guy I know
who stuck by me.
If you're trying to alibi the way
you've been living, we'll run out of gas.
Maybe I did start out just
