List.  On AMC's AIP documentary they showed at least one B&W war film the studio made.  What was the title of this one?  Was apparently in black and white as I stated above, and used stock footage for an invasion scene.  Need help on this one if anyone out there has teh answer

I'm sure it's not the one you are talking about, but I do know of one AIP war movie titled "Jet Attack," about the Korean war, released in 1958.   I know there were others, but that's the only AIP war film I can name off the top of my head.

Could use some more clues. What war? Any stars? Air or Ground? Stuff like that.

Sorry for hte lack of details. I'm nearly 100% sure this was supposed to be a WWII movie set in Europe (just saw clips of it on that AMC documentary), but I guess it could have been Korean (the stock footage of Amphibious landings being Inchon in that case).  Black and white, used stock footage to show an amphibious landing, and apparently had a flame thrower used in at least one segement.  WOuld like to give more details, but really thats all I saw.

You can find some material on "Jet Attack" in the Medved book, Fifty Worst Films of All Time.  The movie stars John Agar, and it came to mind because the script was co-written by Mark Hanna (Not of this Earth, Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman), also my friend, the late Arthur Pierce (who was a combat cinematographer in the Pacific in WW II) had a hand in the script, uncredited for it however.

If you want to look through AIP film titles for war movies, check out this link:

Hope that helps a little.

It might be:

Suicide Battalion (1958)
Submarine Seahawk (1958)
Lost Battalion (1961)
Paratroop Command (1959)

Those are a few I came across. Also, you might want to cross-check here for AIP films:
