One of Our Aircraft Is Missing is a 1942 British war film, mainly set in the German-occupied Netherlands. It was the fourth collaboration between the British writer-director-producer team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.

On its way back from a raid on the city of Stuttgart, a British bomber is shot down over Nazi-held Holland. Parachuting into Dutch farmlands under cover of darkness, the six-member crew connects with members of the local resistance, who shelter the Brits from their Nazi inquisitors as they make their way towards freedom.

The film stars Eric Portman, Bernard Miles, Googie Withers, Pamela Brown, Peter Ustinov (in his film debut), Alec Clunes, Hay Petrie, Robert Helpmann, Hugh Williams and Godfrey Tearle.

Beginning in 1968 the CIA sought a long-range, nearly silent helicopter for covert infiltration and exfiltration. The result was a heavily modified Hughes 500P (P for Penetrator) known as “The Quiet One”.

By adding one additional main rotor blade and two more tail rotor blades, rotor noise was substantially mitigated. An enormous muffler below the tail and numerous other small internal modifications further reduced the sound generated during flight. A next-generation FLIR camera was installed that was significantly more advanced than anything else available to the US military at the time. When the modified helicopter was demonstrated for CIA director Richard Helms in 1971, he was unable to hear the aircraft as it passed 500 feet overhead, even knowing it was coming.
