If you enjoy movies about airplanes as much as I do, check these out.
-
The Blue Max
is coming soon on
DVD!
This movie is a treat for the WW1 flying sequences.
-
Battle of Britain
Never before and never again will such a collection of real WW2
be flying again. For people who enjoy the real V12 sound and
how real flying looked before CGI. The footage was recycled into
the (nowhere near as good) movie
Dark Blue World.
-
The War Lover
Often overlooked, this is the best movie for those who want to see
real 4 engine bomber action. The director hired actual WW2 B-17 veterans
as technical consultants, and listened to them. The settings and ops
are just like it was. But the best part of the movie is the incredible
stunt where a B-17 "cuts the grass". This stunt was not faked, done
with tricks or models. I doubt anyone would ever have the guts to try
this stunt again - flying a B-17 wheels up throttles wide open just off
the ground. Fantastic!

Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines
Before CGI, several actual replicas of pre-WW1 aircraft were built
and flown for this movie.
