Both have exceptional footage.

Both are easily obtained thru amazon.com or ebay.

If you're into firebombers, don't forget Always, starring Richard Dreyfus. Great Invader and Catalina footage.

How about The High and the Mighty? The granddaddy of the Airport movies. Actually a great movie that is not available. The John Wayne family controls it.

The story in "High and the Mighty" is from a chapter in Gann's "Fate is the Hunter", one of the great aviation autobiographies. From DC-2's to B-24's to the Superconstellation, Gann traces the history of US commercial airline flying with wit and candor, and one chapter relating a flight through an ice storm in a DC-3 is enough to make you take the bus from here on in!

Status: offline 		"We Were Soldiers" Good flight shots of A1 Skyraiders, A4's and Thuds. I saw some real
time stuff in Iraq in 1991, i.e. two A-10's pounding some Iraqi Sand men, Apaches playing Death Tag with some Iraqi ground vehicles, an F-16 taking a DUMP on something and a great Arc Light show from a BUFF Drop. Oh yes, the night the SCUD was hit by the Patriot over Dahran I was on a roof top in Kohbar Towers. My heart went out to those who were unfortunate to be hit by the debris of the SCUD.

Status: offline 		"Wing and a Prayer". Excellent melding of movie set stuff with real film from actual U. S. carrier action in the South Pacific. Great footage and close up's of F6F, TBM, SB2C action. It also uses a Curtiss CW-22 as a Japanese fighter. Don Ameche plays the CAG with a very tough job to do. It's out on video.
