Questions about Movies - World War II Movie


Expert: William Sternman - 9/16/2005

Question
A few years ago, I saw a black & white movie(could have been a short story ) of a World War II bomber in which there was an artist on board. He drew pictures of different people in his squadron and airplane. The airplane he was in was shot all to pieces, including the landing gear. His buddies and him were about to crash land, when the artist drew a picture of the airplane. The airplane grew colored wheels like balloons and they landed safely. I beleive however that the artist died in the end, but saved his buddies. I would like to know the name of this movie and would like to locate a copy. your help is greatly appreciated !!! Thanks, Nick  

Answer
I just received this email:

While doing a Google search for a WW2 movie, I found this page on your site which you didn't have the answer for:

http://experts.about.com/q/Questions-Movies-1416/World-War-II-Movie.htm

What he's looking for the is the first episode of "Amazing Stories", a series on NBC produced by Steven Spielberg I think back around 1986 or 87.
Sort of like "The Twilight Zone".  The artist was also the gunner in the bubble turret at the bottom of the bomber, and when the landing gear got damaged in battle, he prayed for a miracle, so cartoon like wheels he drew on a paper appeared on the plane.  Just thought you might want to pass this along to the other guy.
