You only need a good Storywriter, what is hard to get in modern times with its sequals, prequals and its only good/bad guy themes.

As a story you could take and old pilot who was on war from the beginning of his carreer and is delusioned and a young inexperienced, overmotivated and from propaganda blinded pilot. That all around late43/early1944 where the bomber raids became more and more massive and the situation for the luftis became more desperate and disadvantaged. Just a movie about normal people who try to survive in a war that lost all barriers.

Like a Das Boot in the air. That would be an excellent film.

I forgot to mention "All quiet on the western front".

Both the 1930 and 1979 movies.

Live with that... It's one of the biggest "wrong sides" of human history. ;)

excellent, long, depressing sense of the inevitable.

although tbf galland or hartmann would make good subjects for a film. rudel not so much, what with all that nazi-poster-boy thing he had going on.

For pure fiction the Luftwaffe novel, "Ace" by Spencer Dunmore is a great little yarn. BoB fledgling to jaded Bodenplatte veteran with lots of rooting and flying in between. Certainly enough room for mass appeal in there.

"A Bridge Too Far" is a good start. ;)
