+1. I don't mind watching the harbour attack action scene on youtube occasionaly though, even with all its historical inacuracies and mistakes.

Piece of cake 1988 TV series. Even better, just read the book by Derek Robinson that it's based on.

A modern remake of that could be amazing. Using cgi hurricanes instead of those BoB movie spitfires and sticking very close to the book this time. Two series of 20+ episodes could do the whole story I think. It would be epic.

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.

http://www.archive.org/details/thunderbolt

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

http://www.archive.org/details/HowToFlyTheB-26Airplane

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
