Alright, so, the inimitable
muccamukk suggested that, as a person who has a lot of emotions about the Mighty Eighth Air Force, I might enjoy the Gregory Peck film Twelve O'Clock High. AND SHE WAS SO RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

So the TL;DR of all this would be that Twelve O'Clock High is a fantastic watch for anyone interested in military leadership and the day-to-day struggles of men in a high-stress combat situation, and also it's no hardship to watch Gregory Peck cut a fine figure in Class A's and look somberly into the camera for two hours.
Also, as I tend to do, I decided immediately upon finishing the film that I needed some icons on the off-chance that I feel the urge to sit down and write some Keith/Frank, so here you go:
