633 Squadron (1964)
Erik
Bergman (Chakiris), a Norwegian Resistance fighter, tells British
Air Intelligence that the Germans are about to loose an all-out
rocket blitz against England. The rocket fuel is being processed
at a factory hidden in a rock-walled fjord.
 Roy Grant (Robertson) has seventeen days to train Mosquito
Squadron 633, while Erik organises an underground attempt to knock
out the anti-aircraft emplacements guarding the plant.
Erik dare not even tell his sister Hilde (Perschy) why he is in
England or where he is going - not that she's all that interested
. . . she's actually more interested in Roy Grant (and he in her).
Erik is parachuted back into Norway but because of a security
leak, the underground raid fails and Erik falls prisoner. British
Intelligence knows that the Nazis will torture him into talking
and so it is decided that the prison in which he is being held
must be destroyed before he talks, and the task falls to (you
guessed it) Roy.
633 Squadron's attack is moved ahead accordingly, and
the rocket fuel plant is destroyed. Unfortunately, Roy's plane
falls and he is badly wounded (actually most of 633 Squadron
are knocked out of the war, but the mission has succeeded and
there will be no fuel for the rockets so that's the main thing!).
