Firebombers occasionally appear on the nightly news when theyโ€™re wetting down movie star houses in Malibu, but hereโ€™s an entire 1985 Steven Spielberg epic featuring Richard Dreyfus, John Goodman, Holly Hunter and a roaring bunch of radial-engine slurry bombers, with some of the finest Consolidated PBY and Douglas B-26 Invader footage ever filmed. Some consider the opening sequence, an extreme-telephoto shot of a Catalina parting the hair of two fishermen on a previously quiet lake, the best film opening ever. The plot involves angels and ghosts and is too wonderfully complex to summarize, but the spectacular flying was done by warbird specialist Steve Hinton and the late Dennis Lynch, who owned the two B-26s used.
