Haven't seen anything like that since the Chech movie, Dark Blue World. The Poles are supposed to be making a movie about their Squadron 303, but that won't be coming out for at least a couple years.

Unfortunately the movie business is about giving people what they want (I.E. what sells tickets) and people just don't give a crap about history. Unless the powers that be think historical inaccuracy will hurt sales, they'll do the stuff that they think will increase sales, history be damned. Wrong or right we aren't a significant factor in their thinking.

Sure, but they do want interesting dialogue, deep characters, an engaging plot, and action scenes that look real and not contrived. If a flight movie had all that then I could forgive a few unrealistic maneuvers in dogfights.

Yep watched that movie, IMO the only WW2 airwar movie worth watching. It is actually quite good movie.
Don't see such quality airwar movie happen any time soon.

Everything today needs to be extra CGI packed, and of course - sterile.
