Re: My Air Combat movies list - additions are welcome

And you can't go past 'The War Lover' for some superb views of a B-17 beating up an airfield!

But my favourite movie is also 'Those Magnificent Men.....' It has many classic (and hilarious) scenes in it, but the most poignant for me is the scene showing them flying out over the English Channel at Dover. Every time I see that I can picture how it would have looked in 1914 when the first RFC units flew over to France. To fight a war in planes not all that dissimilar from those in the movie.
