	Movies - One of Our Aircraft is Missing

One of Our Aircraft is Missing (1942) is the fourth collaboration between the British writer-director-producer team of Powell & Pressburger and the first film they made under the banner of The Archers.

Story

An RAF bomber crew is forced to bail out over the Netherlands. The film tells the story of how the Dutch help the crew to get home despite the dangers.

Production

A reversal of the position in their previous film, Forty-Ninth Parallel
(1941). Here it is the British trying to escape and the locals are all helping them.

Notable in that there is no scored music, only natural sounds that would be heard by the characters.

The title is taken from the often heard news reports after a bombing raid "One (or more usually, quite a few more) of our aircraft is missing".

Much of the outdoor sequences set in the Netherlands were shot in Boston in Lincolnshire, with many of the town's landmarks visible.
