What a great, old movie! I love the actual footage and I myself think that the actors did a very, good job .. pretty believable acting compared to a lot of movies. A good theme and just a good, all-around movie .. I don't feel like I wasted my time watching. Thanks for downloading it!
Arthur Franz's debut movie! A fine and very versatile actor who can handle anything from comedy to drama to thrillers to sci-fi. Very much missed, I have his autograph and I do not have many Hollywood autographs in my collection which I truly cherish.

@starababa1985 : Thanks! I was hoping someone would mention it in comments. I'd never heard the term before. Canned corned beef was a real treat when I was a kid. Mom would "extend" it by mixing it into chopped up boiled potatoes and cabbage, so one can of it made a meal for the eight of us. We couldn't afford to have it often enough to ever get tired of it, though. That honor fell to "chunk bologna", which she chopped up to mix with canned tomatoes, celery, carrots and macaroni. I hated "baloney stew", as she called it, but it was cheap; and by the time I was 10, she had ME making it for supper regularly. A dog probably wouldn't eat IT, either !
Had a New Zealand history professor 35 years ago that got to Australia age 21 in WW2 never had anything but mutton and poultry. The Kiwis thought the bully beef was a delicacy and the Aussies were more than happy to give them all they wanted.
RAAF 75 squadron P40s at Port Moresby were the only allied fighters defending Morseby for 44 days. They stood alone, eventually shot out of the skies until only one or two serviceable aircraft were left. I think, may be this is what this movie was based on.
This is very interesting. Never heard of this movie before? A forgotten theater. If, the few American and ANZAC units wouldn't have stopped by Japanese, Guadalcanal would have been lost and so would Australia.
Admiral Halsey said, "The Australian Coast Watchers saved Guadalcanal and Guadalcanal saved the Pacific." Coast Watchers were RAN operatives who were put onto many islands behind enemy lines transmitting Japanese shipping, troop and aircraft movements to FRUMEL in Melbourne. They were greatly assisted by local people who also risked the same fate, torture and death. They saved Guadalcanal and as an aside, saved JFK and his crew.
"Jungle Patrol" was based on William Bowers' play "West of Tomorrow"....years after its debut as a film, Bowers admitted in an interview that he was completely stoned on mushrooms while writing the dialogue which he frankly considered as subtle as a prison fart.
@18:32, he offers to go get her some coffee, all three are listening to the radio and suddenly @20:08 all 3 of them have a cup of coffee in their hands.

It was a lot worse than I expected.
One of hollywoods only movies I've seen about the 59th fighter group. Glamorized but true. American pilots in P40s probably kept the Japanese from invading Australia early in the war
The Japs had no plans to invade as we now know from captured documents they intended to contain AU from Port Moresby, W NG,Bali,Java and the Solomons et al.

Maybe you should do something called reading, and educate yourself. The USA began its involvement in Vietnam shortly after the end of WW2. And 1955 being recognized as the official start of the American direct active involvement in the War.
Arther was in so many science fiction movies and was usually the hero plus starting in the 13 episode TV show , world of giants in the late 50s. He should be more talked about like Carlson or Agar or Morrow.
I’ve only recently “discovered” Arthur Franz and like him so much. But since I totally don’t do science fiction I’m disappointed I won’t be seeing him in very many pictures.
Just started watching this, and it reminds me more of a play so far. But even if it's a bit corny it is incredible how brave those young guys were laughing thru their fear.
20:38 and continuing - that is pure fiction. No, not the Japanese pilot knowing English, but his ability to use his radio for conversation. The Zero was an excellent airplane for 1942, but its radio set was useless. So miserable, in fact, that some pilots, including Saburo Sakai, cut the external stick of the radio antenna, to reduce drag from an useless object.
According to a Japanese documentary with English subtitles, dedicated to the Zero, the radio for conversation was practically useless - poor design and construction. Each Zero airplane had also a detector for radio beacon, to find direction toward aircraft carriers. However, occasionally the carriers stopped the beacon transmission, to not be find by the Americans, even knowing that some of their own pilots will get lost and die.
In this film and along with other films in this era, a certain brand of radio speaker keeps turning up. In all the films that I've seen the speaker grill has a lower-case "h" that I think signifies the brand of speaker. Does anyone know what brand the radio speaker is? A good look at it can be had in this scene 1:06:20
Yep. The 59th fighter group of the 5th Air Force flew that area throughout the war. They started with P40s and transitioned to P47s and P38s later on. One squadron kept the P40s throughout the war and was handed down older planes. They were the 8th squadron and were the black sheep squadron nobody heard about
@@stulynn2005 the Australian 75th squadron out of Port Moresby also used the P-40, and other American rejects[brewster buffalo] nearly wiped out before england sent some spits
Just goes to show you....... once a woman comes into the battle everyone starts dieing off. SHE was the reason the WHOLE SQUADRON got KILLED!! WOMEN are BAD LUCK!!
bull shit - smoking does not out right kill everybody - and those smokes were cleaner than now . i could go on - but research it your self ! - propaganda
Cigarettes, were a common ration back then. Not only could you get them cheaper, or free, as they were considered a morale booster. There were incidences, where prisoners were known to smoke dried grass, banana leaves, etc. They were in most ration packs, like the K-rations or C-Rations. Many men, would go through nicotine withdrawal. Not, patronizing it, just explaining it.
And just like all them boys, you someday will be dead also, and they never had to deal with men wanting to be women etc, wish smoking was the worst our country had too deal with in this day and age.
well the white person in black face at the start did it for me. And all i can say is thank christ, there was no Kiwi or Aussie aircraft or pilots there, to get in the yanks way, while they were winning the war all on their own.
LOOX LIKE A PRC = Poverty Row Cmpny prod : no dogfights in eyeball whatever, no real talent, just tons of tobacco inculcation prob paid by the industry.

With all the cigarettes those guys smoked even if they survived the war their lives would have been unfortunately shortened.
bull shit - smoking does not out right kill everybody - and those smokes were cleaner than now . i could go on - but research it your self ! - propaganda
Cigarettes, were a common ration back then. Not only could you get them cheaper, or free, as they were considered a morale booster. There were incidences, where prisoners were known to smoke dried grass, banana leaves, etc. They were in most ration packs, like the K-rations or C-Rations. Many men, would go through nicotine withdrawal. Not, patronizing it, just explaining it.
...by a bullet.
And just like all them boys, you someday will be dead also, and they never had to deal with men wanting to be women etc, wish smoking was the worst our country had too deal with in this day and age.

Slow...horrible... the battle that starts 19 mins in sounds like they're off to a picnic...maybe it got better...i']] never know.
Great movie i like how men in ww2 were real men not like today soy boys
well the white person in black face at the start did it for me. And all i can say is thank christ, there was no Kiwi or Aussie aircraft or pilots there, to get in the yanks way, while they were winning the war all on their own.
So you lost a FEW,
LOOX LIKE A PRC = Poverty Row Cmpny prod : no dogfights in eyeball whatever, no real talent, just tons of tobacco inculcation prob paid by the industry. A rare 1, though + the period feel realistic. 1 of Zanuck s oddities ; nuff said. Read the Sakai, Saburo book if new to this world ..or what s left of it .
