I saw that movie too. it was on TCM and I think it was called "reach for the stars"...or something close, it was taken from the RAF motto.

The air base was being taken over by US bomber crews and the RAF guys were singing about the flying fortress and got caught by an American Colonel.

the other lines were something about the B17 going so fast it chased itself into a spin.

quite funny...but I will compare the films, "12 O'clock High" and Command Decision" as better films than the one I mentioned.

just found it: ''the way to the stars" or "johnny in the clouds".

my favorite song of ww2 is this one...to the tune of colonel bogey march:

hitler has but just one ball

goering, has two but they are very small

himmler and something similiar

and poor goebels has no balls at all.
