Fortress, a 2012 American WWII war film directed by Mike Phillips.

When the commander of a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber is killed in action, his replacement, a young, naive pilot struggles to be accepted by the plane's already tight-knit crew. Ordered into a suicide mission, their only chance for survival is to band together as brothers in battle.

With unparalleled aerial action, Fortress pays homage to the sacrifices of an entire generation during the most important war in history.

Review

“Fortress is a low budget film that delivers with air combat sequences that are loud, frenetic and exciting, with some genuine heart in mouth moments. The filmmakers have done an impressive job on a limited budget and if the subject is of interest I would recommend a look. The video is not top flight Blu-ray material, but is fine, the audio is impressive.” michaeldvd
