This is basically fiction, but it is a realistic account of the air war over Korea. The aircraft are authentic as the movie was made in 58. F-84Fs do a good job portraying the Mig-15s, and the Sabres are incredible as always. The Air Force put a great deal of effort in helping make this movie, and it was the fifties equivalent of "top Gun". Seeing this as a small boy with my dad on TV (he saw it in the theater in 58 when I was a yr old) is what prompted my life long interest in military aviation. ... Read More

Several of the other reviews think that the Lt. Pell character (Robert Wagner)isn't believable. But, I first saw the movie soon after it was released; my Dad took me-- and the big attraction to him was that during the Korean War he had actually met the F-86 driver who was the basis for Lt. Pell. In his opinion, Wagner was just like the real guy. Some time after that there was a get together at our house where several more USAF pilots talked over the movie-- at least one other either knew him or ... Read More

Major Cleve Saville (Robert Mitchum) seems to have been made for war. Just as some men are good at sales or good at sports, he is good at killing. He has been hardened over the years over WWII and is a good commander. During the Korean War, he is assigned two young men to fly as his wingmen: Lt. Ed Pell (Robert Wagner) and Lt. Carl Abbott (Lee Philips). Pell is talkative and friendly while Abbott is a tremendously headstrong drunk. Unfortunately, Saville falls in love with Abbott's wife Kristina (May ... Read More

This is one of the rare times where I liked the movie better than the book. The book does more character development but has a surreal ending being told by the pilot AFTER he is dead. The F86's have correct markings, and using F84F's as Mig 15's was a good a choice as you could expect when this movie was made. They were similar in appearance although the F84F came after the Korean war was over. The movie has more action than the book, but alas, also had to have the required "love plot". Mitchum, a.k.a. ...

Though I was not yet a teenager, I recall aspects of the Korean "War". Recall the A-Bomb drills we had in elementary school and the bomb shelters some people were building. But most of all I remember the F-86 Sabre jets, and though our capabilities were directly attributable to the work the Germans had done in WWII with jet aircraft, the swept wing F-86 was some piece of work. To see one today one must generally go to a museum or watch a movie such as THE HUNTERS. Just as the Grumman Panther ... Read More
