Sorry. Just couldn't figure this at all. You have a nice writing style - good for scripts. Your formatting is generally good (IMO). But then you make all these wierd elementary mistakes:
Is 'Germany 1934' supposed to appear in writing on the screen?
There is only silence, when buzzing engines cut in.
isn't is-
There is only silence. Then buzzing engines cut in.
You cap the air raid noise, but not the engine noise?
INT. PROP PLANE - DAWN. Huh? Which plane is this? Where did it come from? Is this the prototype plane?
You've given MAC a name but not the pilot?
And who the hell is MAC!!!
EXT. SNOWY MOUNTAINS - DAWN
followed by
EXT. SNOWY MOUNTAINS - MORNING
and we carry on the same scene..?
It should have been much better than this, as you appear to have crafted some skills - I don't know why you missed so much. Re-read & rewrite, maybe?

The author joined the boards just before his script was posted, yet he hasn't posted once in all this time.
I wouldn't spend too much time on this script.
