How about another few questions?

You seem to be the correct person to ask. :D 1) My father had told me that some of the movie was re-shot, as Savage was coming across too heavily to be likable. 2) Gregory Peck supposedly agreed to do the role after some 40 pages of the script was cut/re-written.

Planes lost

From what we heard, the F-105 on loan from the USAF, the
OV-10 prototype, the Waco CG-4A, and a Stinson were among
