The inspiring true story of the Bouncing
Bomb, and then men chosen to deliver it
to the enemy during World War II.
What else can one say? - It's a classic
war film. And
there's an early role here for Peter, not as a stunt arranger or
performer, but as an actor - albeit in
a non-speaking role...

Peter
plays an airman/co-pilot, who's seen flleetingly during
several scenes at the airbase, as the men
prepare for their
Big Mission...
Then, 90mins into the film, as the planes
approach the Dutch
coast, he gets his starring moment. That's him,
on the left above,
sitting in on his colleagues' conversation. Minutes
later he
dons his flight mask...
then his bomber is blown out of the sky!
