STUDIO 360

what was the setting for twelve oclock high?

Here is a synopsis of the movie...maybe it will help in answering your question:

After a brief prologue set in the present, the bulk of the story takes place in late 1942 and early 1943. General Savage is assigned to take over temporary command of the 918th Bomb Group, which has suffered heavy losses and is having serious morale problems.

Reaching the base, Gen. Savage finds it in some disarray, starting with the guard who waves his car through without identifying its occupants. True to his name, he deals with everyone harshly. An enlisted man out of uniform is demoted to Private on the spot. The Group second-in-command, Lt. Col. Gately, is absent despite being nominally in command till Savage arrives. Gen. Savage sends the MP's to arrest him. He closes down the officers club, part of a plan to unify the men in their dislike of their new commander.

When Lt. Col. Gately is brought in, Savage calls him a coward for not flying on missions. When Gately threatens to bring charges of abuse, Savage calls his bluff by putting in a call to General Pritchard, and also defying Gately to explain his conduct to his father, a well-regarded lieutenant general.

For a final humiliation, Savage removes Gately from his command position and puts him in charge of a single bomber, renamed the "Leper Colony", crewed with the worst airmen in the Group. As the story progresses, Savage transfers any flyer who fails to measure up to the plane.

The group "stands down", and enters intensive re-training. Savage knows that the B-17 is designed for defense against fighters based on tight formation flying, so every direction is covered by guns, so they practise this endlessly.

During this time, all of the pilots put in for transfer. Savage orders the Adjutant, Maj. Stovall, to delay their applications, but it is a race against time. They resume flying missions, and Savage continues to insist on strict adherence to his orders, using the Leper Colony as punishment.

There comes a point where missions are flown almost without loss. Savage leads them himself, at one point faking radio trouble to ignore a recall order resulting from bad weather, so that his Group is the only one to hit the target on that mission.

Morale improves, and when an Inspector General arrives to find out what is happening, all the men stand up for Savage and withdraw their transfer requests. Finally, Savage learns that Gately is in hospital, having flown several missions with a spinal injury that left him in acute pain.

As the war moves into Germany, the missions become longer and riskier.

When he then announced that he, himself, had spoken in tongues, an instant explosion went off in his church. The story was later carried in the local newspapers, various wires services picked it up, and the news swept the country. Time carried the story. So did Newsweek."

Five OClock Lightning $24.95 Advance Praise for Five O'Clock Lightning "Come along with Harvey Frommer on a jaunty stroll through baseball eighty years ago. The 1927 Yankees may or may not have been the best team ever, but surely this is the best book about that wonderful concentration of talent." --George F. Will "Harvey Frommer brings the perceptive eye of a historian to what was arguably the most feared batting order of all time. Add to that his contagious enthusiasm for classic baseball and you have a most enjoyable book." --Roger Kahn "An engrossing and entertaining look at a mythical baseball team. Ride the trains, chew the tobacco, and have fun." --Leigh Montville, author of The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth "How great were the '27 Yankees? So great that even now, eighty years later, they still have the power to astonish and entertain. Reading Five O'Clock Lightning, I felt almost as if I were on the road with the Babe, Lou, and Miller Huggins. Harvey Frommer has a great eye for detail and a wonderful ability to bring his characters to life. The book is a delight." --Jonathan Eig, author of Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig and Opening Day: The Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season "Harvey Frommer hits a home run in this sweet look back at a time when baseball was the only game and the Yankees seemed to be the only team." --Dan Shaughnessy, author of Senior Year "Baseball's greatest team as recounted by baseball's greatest author, Harvey Frommer. A surefire classic!" --Seth Swirsky, author of Baseball Letters and Something to Write Home About
