Original sentence: Among his pilots is a new replacement, talented, but brash Lieutenant Ed Pell (Wagner).Aware of the situation, Abbott offers Saville a deal: his wife in return for the opportunity to go one-on-one with "Casey Jones" (an uncredited Leon Lontoc), the most feared enemy ace, if they should run into him.Considered a lacklustre war drama, The Hunters did not fare well with critics, although most audiences saw it as a widescreen epic.The flying scenes were principally filmed over the southwest United States, and much of the realistic aerial sequences are enhanced by the use of actual  Sabre fighter aircraft which were still front line aircraft at the time.The friction between Saville and Pell continues throughout the novel and Pell is a much less likable character
