I do, but my favourite Mosquito film or video it this one:

... shot from the cockpit of a rebuilt/restored FB version. This more than
anything else I've seen gives a feeling of what it is like to fly. I
think that airframe is in America - possibly in the late Paul Allen's
collection.

I do have another aviation-related recommendation, though this one is
100% animation and more magical-realism than actual history:
"The Wind Rises" by Hayao Miyazaki.

Fighter Pilots Story is indeed about Quentin C Aanenson.
3 Hour DVD is available from his daughter.
It’s the real thing!

I have the contact info if you want to order a DVD copy of A Fighter Pilots Story
https://quentinaanenson.com/
Send his daughter an email

Aanenson would host the telecasts of his film on the local PBS station when he was still alive. I remember him saying that he made the film for his grandkids so they would understand his experiences in the war. The thing that stood out to me is how much he aged in the pictures from when he entered flight training until the end of the war. That was stunning.

What are your favorite Aviation based movies?
A couple of mine are Jimmy Stewart in the original Flight of the Phoenix.
Another, made more recently, is Tom Cruise in Made In America, if you haven't seen this its well worth a watch, lotta good flying in there.
Top Gun, of course, is on this list too. Motorcycles, Fighters, smoking HOT women, what more is there to life?
What are some of your favorites?

There is a movie with William Shattner about the Lady be Good.

Does the dialog have pregnant pauses and does Shatner screw the Bedouin
girl?
