Yup those are some great movies there. I have had a fascination of WW2 since I was a child, not the politics of the war but the machinery and battles. With the advent of the internet age that brought on a whole new wealth of media, videos. I have over the years scoured the web for WW2 related video and have one massive collection, alot of it related to aircraft. Anyway one site in particular is a treasure trove of such film and I figured you guys would appreciate it.

A documentry of the Memphis Belle, basically following the crew from an airfield in England to a bombing raid over Germany in which they encounter flak and interceptors.

Another about P-47s and a mission to blow railroad bridges plus strafing runs in the Italian theater.

Here's a US goverment video for new pilots flying B-26s.

Just a few examples, if you look around the site you'll find tons of this stuff. I know these arent 'movies' but thought I'd share.

I joke!! His attitude was rather good,especially when he strafes the beach, fires off his ammo (just him and a wingman) and then laughs at the insignifigance of it and says something along the lines of "theirs the Luftwaffes greatest achievement".

malta story
aces high
porco russo ha ha

I grabbed a copy of Piece of cake when Dave& I was down at Hendon last summer. Love it. That '80's visuals and short-cuts with the spits. And the right scarfs. Brilliant.
Just saw 12 O'clock high a cpl of weeks ago. A true Classic.

I'm not sure if the WWII flyboystory to the movie I most want to see is yet written, but if it is or ever will be, I hope I live to see the Cohen-brothers do it. They do know how to play.

I want this film NOW!!!
