"The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell" and similar films, such as "Spitfire," starring Leslie Howard and David Niven, offer enlightening lessons challenging conventional wisdom. These lessons underscore the idea that if something can be dreamed of, it can be invented. This principle is particularly relevant in military contexts, as reflected in the establishment of organizations like DARPA.

In the movie, General Mitchell's visionary approach to airpower challenges established norms and traditional military thinking. His courage to dream beyond conventional wisdom becomes a central theme, emphasizing the potential for unconventional ideas to reshape military strategies. As Ronald Reagan aptly stated, "America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, imagination, and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand."

Your insight draws a parallel with real-world examples, highlighting the success of organizations like the MOSSAD. Their openness to unconventional ideas, often deemed insane by other intelligence agencies, has contributed to their effectiveness. The notion that unconventional thinking can lead to groundbreaking inventions and strategic approaches echoes the spirit of innovation portrayed in these films.

In summary, the movies serve as a reminder that conventional wisdom is not always correct and that embracing visionary ideas can lead to transformative changes. This aligns with the ethos of organizations like DARPA and the success of the MOSSAD, emphasizing the importance of openness to unconventional thinking in shaping military and intelligence strategies.

Lili Damita and Cooper in Fighting Caravans, 1931

Gary Cooper (born Frank James Cooper; May 7, 1901 – May 13, 1961: 60 YO) was an American actor known for his strong, quiet screen persona and understated acting style. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor twice and had a further three nominations, as well as an Academy Honorary Award in 1961 for his career achievements. He was one of the top-10 film personalities for 23 consecutive years and one of the top money-making stars for 18 years. The American Film Institute (AFI) ranked Cooper at number 11 on its list of the 25 greatest male stars of classic Hollywood cinema.

Cooper's career spanned 36 years, from 1925 to 1961, and included leading roles in 84 feature films. He was a major movie star from the end of the silent film era through the end of the golden age of classical Hollywood. His screen persona appealed strongly to both men and women, and his range included roles in most major film genres. His ability to project his own personality onto the characters he played contributed to his natural and authentic appearance on screen. Throughout his career, he sustained a screen persona that represented the ideal American hero.

Cooper began his career as a film extra and stunt rider, but soon landed acting roles. After establishing himself as a Western hero in his early silent films, he appeared as the Virginian and became a movie star in 1929 with his first sound picture, The Virginian. In the early 1930s, he expanded his heroic image to include more cautious characters in adventure films and dramas such as A Farewell to Arms (1932) and The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935). During the height of his career, Cooper portrayed a new type of hero, a champion of the common man, in films such as Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Meet John Doe (1941), Sergeant York (1941), The Pride of the Yankees (1942), and For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943). He later portrayed more mature characters at odds with the world in films such as The Fountainhead (1949) and High Noon (1952). In his final films, he played nonviolent characters searching for redemption in films such as Friendly Persuasion (1956) and Man of the West (1958).

Countless attempts by B-17's during the Battle of Midway and other Pacific battles showed that army airplanes never sank a warship. Still, this is a great movie!

General Mitchell never saw the "next war" since he died in 1936, and he was right about the use of air power. Just too bad that the idiots above him did not see what could be done with air power during the Spanish Civil War, because if they did the US would of had the greatest Air Force by the mid 1930 instead of the mid 1940's.

My father remembered being on deck of the Sub Tender Orion watching the Navy's brand new F2H Banshees making mock attack runs on the ships. The AA crews could hardly track their guns fast enough as the jets flew over. My father just shook his head knowing the ships were just floating targets.

Billy Mitchell was a courageous figure who had strength in his convictions. Strategically, he was visionary, but his analysis of airpower vs. naval power was proven wrong. Mitchell, as the movie points out, envisioned large formations of bombers saturation bombing surface fleets to destruction as if they were cities. The Pacific War proved that altitude saturation bombing of maneuvering warships with a full head of speed was almost totally ineffectual, especially if there was a layer of fighter protection. In fact, it was the innovation of tactical aircraft that could perform a vertical or near-vertical dive on a surface target, adjusting the dive to the ships evasive maneuvers (and requiring very highly skilled and trained pilots), that proved the decisive role of naval air power. This technique, by the way, was not an innovation of the Luftwaffe but of the United States Navy in the mid to late 1930s, which the Luftwaffe adopted.
