The Things You Miss

George Nolly was the last pilot to complete 100 missions over North Vietnam, earned three Distinguished Flying Crosses, 24 Air Medals, and before he left the Air Force, was awarded Tactical Air Command Instructor Pilot of the Year. This musical film, written by his son Stephen, brings to life one of the most dramatic and comic missions of George's life, on a bomb run over the forests of Vietnam.

Book and lyrics by Stephen Nolly; music and lyrics by Benjamin Emory Larson; featuring Alan August; directed by Elise Dewsberry.
