Re: My Air Combat movies list - additions are welcome

How about THE HUNTERS? It is not WWII but there's plenty of great flying scenes with Sabres and F84F posing as Korean MiG's.

I did see THE BRIDGES AT TOKO-RI but I think the book was better.

SPACE COWBOYS has a very funny aerobatic scene with Donald Sutherland.

The 007 series features an ASR Fortress in DR. NO and an Avro Vulcan in THUNDERBALL

THE GREAT ESCAPE contains a scene (my favourite!) in which Donald Pleasance (an actual WWII RAF pilot captured and tortured by the Germans) gets to a plane and flies it.

I read that HART'S WAR, JET PILOT (1950, with John Wayne), EMPIRE OF THE SUN also have great air scenes, but I haven't seen these movies myself. Has anybody of you?
