How many people fell on the maiden runway?

I've watched it many times and still cry.

I watched a show commemorating the soldiers who died in World War II. The theme is: They gave their tomorrows for our today. Roughly speaking, they exchanged their tomorrows for our today. They have no tomorrow, so we have today.

Impressive is their last flight. Fighting with them, there was also a team that flew for the first time. They were all destroyed. The first time I flew, I encountered such a tragic battle, and even the old soldiers with a lot of flying experience were almost defeated. I saw one of the planes on their maiden flight, cut in half by their own plane, and the people inside were still shouting, help us! The people from the Memphis could only shout to them: Skydive! Skydive! ! ! They simply don't have time to skydive. Even parachuting, in such a hail of bullets, it is impossible to escape. A target as large as a parachute will definitely be attacked in the long-term falling process.

Don't forget this scene: the plane on its maiden flight was strafed on the runway, and it was bombed before it could be pulled up. Compared with the soldier who has been brooding and never shot down a single enemy plane, they died even more in anger. I think they will die!

This cruelty is not made up, it is something that really happened!

I think everyone should always remember them. Because they don't have tomorrow, because we have today.

    I had no intention of seeing it at the Square Kicks Theater back then. It was a wonderful air battle, a classic in my heart, and I like the line at the end of the film. I only dedicate this film to those young people in the war, regardless of their nationality.

    The performances of all the members were very good, and they did not fall into any inexplicable excitement. Personally, I feel that the development of the genre of war movies is extremely slow. This movie relies on the intimacy of these soldiers and their desire for survival. Coupled with the important air battle scene in the back section, it is enough to become a classic. Its approach suggests that it is not necessary to mobilize the audience's senses with a formatted highlight like "Eight Hundred" and "King Kong River". The same is true for the first half of "Hacksaw Ridge".
