coming home soon?
Yeah.
Four more missions
on this tour.
Only one more, if
this lifts today.
She knows you've signed
up for another one?
talk me out of it.
You got a good girl.
If only Brickley didn't have
that crazy rule
against marriage.
As long as he's in command,
we'll have to stick with it.
Mission's been scrubbed.
Fan mail?
This one, gentlemen,
is from a young
lady in Texas...
Blonde hair, big blue eyes,
and an oil well
in her back yard
that pumps out money.
Probably begging for
my hand in marriage.
Don't you know any poor women?
I avoid them.
A teletype came from
General McCready
ordering Brickley
to headquarters.
Smells like Gilbert.
Brick just left.
I have a message, sir.
"New fighter group 604 and 605
"will be assigned to escort
duty with 10th Bomber Wing
when fully operational."
Signed, "Curran."
Oh, hello, Brick.
Have a cigar.
Oh, you don't smoke.
Brick, we don't see
enough of each other.
I've been pretty busy.
Yeah. You've been
flying missions, Brick.
What do you think of
the combat policy?
I'll make the
question official.
His ideas were O.K. A year ago
when we didn't have
enough planes,
but he's out of
date on two counts
since the last five groups
became operational.
Belly tanks?
to hold on to them.
Staff requires full
flying time over target.
We get jumped on the way.
Our planes can't beat
the Germans with tanks.
The boys that find that
out haven't survived.
The second those
fighters jump us,
we should drop those tanks and
knock them out of the air.
They won't be around
tomorrow to give us trouble.
And, uh... what else?
We've enough groups
to send experienced ones
in ahead of each mission.
Smash up the airfields,
pin them down.
Yeah, uh... including
your own group?
Yes, sir.
That's a hard nut
to crack, Brick.
Statistics show
that our losses
low-altitude operations...
Flak, machine guns,
rifles, pistols.
They even throw pots and pans.
The objective is to get
the most bombers over the
target free of attack.
If you believed in it,
It seems a long time ago
since you fellas came to me
from the Eagle squadron.
It's been a lot
of flying time.
Brick, can you stand a shock?
I've held off as
long as I could.
I want you to give
up your group.
You're my best man.
I wanted to make you a
brigadier a year ago,
but your heart was
set on flying.
Take over a new group...
The 604th.
Make that a crack outfit, too.
I was afraid it
was a desk job.
You'd be no good
behind a desk...
Losing weight,
