Rewind, Review, and Re-Rate ‘663 Squadron’: A Special Aircraft and the Men Who Flew It
Not Rated | 1h 42min | Drama, War | 1964
The year is 1944 and World War II has reached a fevered pitch. Although the Germans have already been defeated by the Allies in North Africa and things are going poorly for them in Italy, the Axis still controls much of Europe.
The ever-resourceful British have come to rely on their twin-engine Royal Air Force (RAF) de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito aircraft to carry out bombing missions against the Axis with the hopes of tipping the scales of war in their favor. Although these so-called Wooden Wonders (they were composed almost entirely of wood) had only been in service a few years, they’d more than proven their reliability and effectiveness.
