Shadows
the flying fortresses that fell from the sky

currently in production
© 2007

World War Two, December 1944, a formation of US B-17 Flying Fortresses are returning to Britain after a bombing mission over Germany. The thick cloud cover is making the return flight hazardous so the formation is broken up and diverted to various airbases. Two of the B-17s are approaching airbase 486, Greenham Common, when one aircraft disastrously strikes the other... all but two of the US airmen are killed.

Shadows is a short memorial film being made to commemorate the sixteen young men who lost their lives in the fight to bring WWII to a close.

BBC radio Berkshire transmitted a play, The Great West Road, in April 08 that is connected to Shadows. To hear the play in full, and a short interview with the director of Shadows, visit the radiocast webpage
