Probably 12 o'clock high

Great footage of the Martin XB-51 (the 'Gilmore? fighter' in the movie) and Bell X-2.

I have a rather large collection of aviation movies, from "Wings" on.

Bar none, the best ever, for realism and accuracy is Dark BLue World!

My grandfather flew with the Poles, the French, and the Brits. The part about trying to adapt to British systems reflects his comments. I particularly remember him mentioning formation flying on bicycles, as in the movie! This for piltos who had flown for two or three nations already.

Not really a movie.. but the TV mini series: Piece of Cake

 

[renrich]

Piece Of Cake was a very good book also.

 

[evangilder]

I totally forgot about BoB and Catch 22. Both of those are great too. I still need to get a copy of Dark Blue World.

 

[pbfoot]

Piece Of Cake was a very good book also.

One of the better fictional reads about WW2 aviation
