I am waiting for HBO's Masters of the Air. It is also going to be a series about the 8th AF done in the same style and quality as Band of Brothers and the Pacific. Personally the CGI in the Mighty 8th looks a bit over the top, and rather unrealistic to me, but I'll reserve judgement for the final movie.

And I see where my confusion came from now. According to this article: http://hbowatch.com/the-mighty-eighth-is-gearing-up/ the footage you posted is just sort of a test reel to pitch the concept to the studio. The final project should be much better and far more realistic.Comment

That was not a test real but rather a mashup of like 5 different war movies scenes. I researched that reel when it came out and that is what I found. Ok after reading the footage was shot by a amateur band of people and the sounds are from Memphis Belle.AMA 1102566Comment

I just finished watching the Sir Douglas "This is your life" on YouTube. It was awesome seeing some the greats from the BOB, especially Galland and Johnson.---

No problem! If just want a great series on airplanes in general (not really warbirds), the BBC Century of Flight Series is excellent as well. Unfortunately, there are quite a few parts missing, but it is very well done: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...zyw0el86vb8_oeOriginally posted by weedsnager View PostComment

I have an affection for WWI aircraft as these guys were flying contraptions that they thought were the greatest thing in the world so Flyboys gets my nod but I have yet to see Hell's Angels by Howard Hughes. Those guys had Stones!!Comment

The Final Countdown. It's technically si fi, but still some good footage of mixing eras. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyjNInIH4HwComment

Sorry Aros, don't know how to switch chamnels now...Chain Lightning, 1950, Humphrey Bogart. The beginning has some early jet test pilot action and scenes of B-17's being attacked by what looks like a Komet. On last night on TCM (hate commercials). Not my favorite flick, but how could you not like a warbird movie with a "Bogey" as the lead?Comment
