Twelve O'Clock High

Twelve O'Clock High is a 1949 film about the U. S. Army Air Force crews who flew daylight bombing missions against Germany and occupied France during World War II. It stars Gregory Peck as Brigadier General Frank Savage, Gary Merrill as Colonel Keith Davenport, Millard Mitchell as General Ben Pritchard, and Dean Jagger as Major (later Lieutenant Colonel) Harvey Stovall. After a brief prologue set in the present, the bulk of the story takes place in late 1942 and early 1943. General Savage is assigned to take over temporary command of the 918th Bomb Group, which has suffered heavy losses and is having serious morale problems. Driving the men relentlessly, he restores their fighting spirit and transforms them into an effective combat unit, but ultimately succumbs to the psychological strain of command and must himself be relieved.
