You're correct, I actually saw it before HBO scheduled it when it was in limited release in theaters, but I don't know why I said B-24's. I remember they mentioned that some 28M plus 8th Air Force airmen died, more than the Marine Corps loss which was 24M. Maybe that stuck in my mind.

Watched it last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I knew this tactic was used to deceive before D-Day, but had no idea the extent it was used during the war in Europe and that their was such a large group of service men dedicated to the effort. I don't want to hijack the thread by posting the link, but there's a great WWII documentary by William Wyler about the B-24 titled "The Cold Blue" on HBO. He went on to direct "The Memphis Belle" many years later.
