Solid cast. Really gripping and entertaining film depicting the air war over Germany in WW II. A black-and-white film using fictional bomber base names and German targets but conveys how stressful it was to complete the 25 missions which would send a crew home.

This is as applicable today as it was in WWII. It is a must watch for all military officers. It is also applies to the corporate world as well. There are a lot of valuable leadership lessons in this movie.

My favorite period of history centers on World War II and its aftermath, as I was a child then. Not surprising that two of my favorite motion pictures are Command Decision and Twelve O'Clock High. Two different studios, two excellent big-name casts, both about high-level command experiences in USAAF daylight bombing. After a long time waiting, I finally found reasonably-priced new DVDs of both - on eBay, of course! For about a dozen years now, we buy and sell about evenly - many thanks, eBay! Gratefully, since50s
