Another Korea era war movie is "The Hunters"... The movie stars Robert Mitchum as a aging F-86 Saber pilot who still has a few tricks up his sleeve... I have not seen this movie for a few years but as I remember it was pretty good. One area of interest is that most (if not all) of the aerial combat footage is live action (with an F86 standing in as a Mig), their might even be some real combat footage edited in for effect...this is in contrast to "Bridges at Toko-Ri" which made liberal use of miniatures in a studio (even though it was done very well, and is quite enjoyable) cut together with live action footage...
