One of Our Aircraft Is Missing

"Bertie" is an RAF bomber whose crew bails out over the Netherlands after one of it's engines is damaged during a nighttime raid on Stuttgart. Five of the six airmen locate each other; but the sixth goes missing. The Dutch, led by English-speaking schoolteacher Else Meertens (Pamela Brown), are suspicious. No aircraft is reported to have crashed in the Netherlands. However, the Dutch agree to help, despite their fear of German reprisals. The disguised airmen bicycle to a football match. To their amazement, they discover their missing crewman playing on one of the teams. Reunited, they hide in a truck carrying supplies to Jo de Vries (Googie Withers), a woman pretending to be pro-German. Jo hides the men in her mansion, then leads them to a rowing boat where they can reach the North Sea to safety. Else Meertens said of the Germans: Do you think that we Hollanders who threw the sea out of our country will let the Germans have it? Better the sea. A remarkable WWII film - unforgettable!
