Mosquito Squadron - David McCallum, Charles Gray, Dinsdale Landen, David Buck, Suzanne Neve - 1968
Starring: David McCallum, Charles Gray, Dinsdale Landen, David Buck, Suzanne Neve Directed by: Boris Sagal With London under attack by deadly German V2 rockets, a rumour spreads through war–torn Britain that deadlier V3 weapons are being developed in Occupied France. Squadron leader Quint (David McCallum) is tasked with leading the elite Mosquito Squadron on a perilous mission to destroy the secret missile factory, located deep beneath a French chateau. The Nazi project must be stopped at all costs, but the factory chateau contains hundreds of RAF POWs... and the husband of the woman he loves. War movie buffs will want to see this one. This film does have a decent plot-line and a lot of fine footage of the twin-engined British DeHavilland Mosquito light bomber in action. It is rare to see this aircraft in a war film and I therefore recommend it to war movie buffs. The plot involves the precision bombing of a French chateau and underground German "V" rocket lab. David McCallum is, as usual, a very like-able character. You will enjoy this one if you like vintage WWII REAL aircraft, great British character actors ( David McCallum: Man From UNCLE, Charles Gray: Rocky Horror, many others ), inspiring military soundtrack , and a "Star Wars" death star ending sequence! Many say George Lucas was inspired by the ending sequence from the non-fiction film "The Dam Busters" I think he was inspired from it and "Mosquito Squadron" in combination; check it out for a great action flick with a great ending! Being a lover of the Mosquito aircraft I give this film a 7. David McCallum (I) .... Sq. Leader Quint Munroe Suzanne Neve .... Mrs. Beth Scott Charles Gray (I) ....
