About the Documentary
10 Good Men is a 90-minute documentary preserving the firsthand accounts of ten of the last WWII veterans who flew the B-17 Flying Fortress over Europe — the equivalent of one full B-17 crew. Pilots, navigators, bombardiers, and gunners speak candidly about their missions, their training, and their survival. Some were shot down and captured; others completed dozens of sorties. Structured chronologically from 1942 to 1945, the film traces the full arc of the Allied air campaign: the early daylight raids met with catastrophic losses, the arrival of long-range fighter escorts, the evolution of German flak and fighter strategies, and the final push that helped end the war. Their testimonies are supported by restored archival footage from NARA, the Imperial War Museum, and the Bundesarchiv. Several of the men featured have since passed, making this one of the last records of its kind.
