Sunday Dinner for a Soldier on YouTube (B-17s)

Post by Chris Brame »

Just by accident I found the 1944 movie Sunday Dinner for a Soldier up on YouTube. Nice clean print, but the B-17 content is small.
A flight of Fortresses at the beginning:

Then at the end, some scenes at Drew and/or MacDill:

Note this one has no cheek guns. As it taxies by, you can see the serial number:
Image
Per Baugher: "(42-)102745 to RFC at Kingman as TB-17G Nov 28, 1945."
Image
...And another serial, this time under the wing. Let's take a closer look:
Image
Again per Baugher: "(42-)102698 to RFC at Altus as TB-17G Nov 5, 1945."
Image
And one last shot as John Hodiak wags his wings at Anne Baxter.
The end.
Here's the whole movie; enjoy it before it gets yanked:
