George Pal's "War of the Worlds". Northrop YB49 attacks Martian war
machines.

I think the SF film "This island Earth" had a lightplane sequence in it
as well.

And a favorite movie scene I remember (forget the title of the 1942 B film)
stars my home base of Brackett field in LaVerne, Ca. as a WWII training
field. It's rotating beneath a spinning fighter while the pilot pulls back
on the stick for all he's worth, as the radio voice screams "pull out".

Hi all,

I'm trying to put together some kind of plan to increase our EAA chapter
membership. To that end, I would like to pick everyone's brains for their
favorite big screen movie that involves airplanes, either main to the
plot
or of any background significance. Examples would be like "Flying Tigers"
with John Wayne or "Indiana Jones and the Search for the Holy Grail".

Thanks in advance,
