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.

Cheers
