Pearl Harbour.. wasn't that the movie that could be compiled into about 45 mins? Eagle Squadron, attack on Pearl Harbour and Doolittle, the end?

I forgot about a few greats there too, like Catch 22 and Waldo Pepper!

Battle of Britain
Dark Blue World Aces High Blue Max Dambusters I would love to see a good realistic film about Hartmann,or Rudel, but politics probably says no. |
Personally I do not like many of the WWII 50/60's era movies for their cavalier distortion of history, which is sad because the naive think these movies as factual, when really they are no more than comic book stories. One such example is Mosquito Squadron, which badly mixes the unrelated experimental Highball squadrons missions with those of the Amiens prison raiders, as such an actual movie about the many exploits of the Prison raiders may never be told.
However there are some brilliant exceptions like the classic “The Dam Busters” and of course the iconic “The Battle of Britain” and “Tora Tora Tora”. Some other favourites include: No highway in the sky (Jimmy Stewart, not as a pilot but IMO a great aviation movie) Strategic Air Command (Jimmy Stewart) 30 Seconds Over Tokyo Air America Both versions of Flight of the Phoenix Catch 22 ....just to name a few. |
These get my vote:
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines The Great Waldo Pepper Hot Shots |
My votes (in no particular order):
Battle of Britain - For bringing together a classic fleet of planes for a classic drama Dark Blue World - For the sheer beauty Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines - For the films obvious love of aviation |
