Mosquito Squadron
Mosquito Squadron
Stars: David McCallum, Charles Gray, Dinsdale Landen, David Buck, Suzanne NeveDirector: Boris Sagal
Summary: An elite squadron of Mosquito aircraft is tasked with destroying a secret German rocket factory located deep beneath a French chateau used to house Allied POWs.
Two fighter pilots have become close friends while fighting for the RAF in World War II. When one of the fighter pilots dies, the survivor develops a relationship with his dead friend's wife. Boris Sagal's combat film is memorable for its incredible footage of the Mosquito bomber planes used by the British Royal Air Force. The final sequence has also been sighted as an influence on George Lucas' Death Star sequences in the original STAR WARS.

World War II aviation buffs may quibble with the details of Mosquito Squadron, but they'll love it just the same. It's an average war movie, capably directed by Boris Sagal, who thrived in television before he was tragically killed by a helicopter rotor in 1981. At the peak of his post-Man from UNCLEsuccess, David McCallum plays a melancholy RAF ace, leading his squadron of De Havilland "Mosquito" bombers on low-altitude strikes over Nazi strongholds in Germany and France. His ground-based dilemma involves the grieving wife of his best friend, a fellow pilot presumed dead but later discovered alive with other POWs held at a French chalet where the Nazis are developing advanced V-class bombers. The RAF employs bouncing "highballs" capable of penetrating difficult targets, and the rousing climax doubles as a rescue mission and treacherous bombing run. Explosive action compensates for predictable melodrama, and Rocky Horrorfans will enjoy seeing Charles ("the Criminologist") Gray as a stuffy RAF Commodore. --Jeff Shannon
