Default Favorite Aviation Films

On YouTube you can watch the television series 12 O'clock High
It ran for about 2.5 seasons.

It is most excellent. The story's are are hypothetical but it was very well written and there's a bunch actors in there that went on to become big stars, Like Burt Reynolds and many others. Sally Kellerman is in a few episodes as a nurse when she was like 21 -gorgeous.
Lotta actual WW2 footage. It really shows how bad those flight crews had it, the odds of finishing your 25 mission rotation were very low, but they kept going up. Brave young men. It vividly shows how tough the decisions were to send crews where and why, knowing it was going to be a bloodbath.
