Here is my last one: The sweet escape
A French movie, originally titled Comme un avion (Like an airplane).
It's a romantic story about a man in his 50s (I guess) who's sick of urban life and style and so he starts a jorney with a....kayak. A couple of nice (French of course) women are part of his jorney. I loved the moments when the hero and his wife speak of his enormous love for airplane models and aviation. I can't quote the conversation here (too erotic).
2 stills from the movie:


His model collection was not too big though, just a couple of avions in a closet (!?!). The White 13 is a Caudron C.450 of course.

I think I saw the Willams Brothers 1/32 model in my local hobby-store and I'm going to get it for Easter if it's still available.
Cheers!
P.S. Unfortunately I didn't get it!
Went to the hobby store after Easter and what a bad surprise: all Williams Brothers models were gone!!! They were there for months with price tags between $10.00 and $25.00. I couldn't resist and "saved" one of them (Seversky P-35/S2 in a damaged box) for $10, but didn't have any plans for the rest of the bunch (you know, all those amazing racers). And now it's too late....
Quel dommage!

I just saw a reasonably interesting movie on youtube called "Battle Taxi" about Rescue helicopters in the Korean War. Lots of flying, some pretty impressive. Main actors were the H-19 helicopter (I remember assembling one when I was a kid) with guest appearance of H-5, which I liked to draw. Additional guess appearances in action, were, F-51s, F-80s, F-86s, f-84s, B-29s, A-26, and Dumbo the amphibian. Standard mix up of various aircraft, but overall fun to watch if you like Korean War stuff or helicopters. Oh, and a special guest appearance 22 minutes into the show, was a helicopter flying over some Army troops, and there it was, a Skysweeper with antenna rotating! I had to take a double look at that. While it was in service in '51, I'm sure it was never in Korea. I remember putting that model together, too. One other lesson that was apparent here, arm rescue helicopters or provide armed helicopter support!
