I'm with Richard...THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER! I love the story line (yes,
there seems to be a plot AND a lot of flying). My second favorite is
1955's, "Strategic Air Command" with Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson (not
sure how to spell her last name!). Great flying shots of the B-36 and
B-47, all in full color. Tells the story of how SAC got started...

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,

The Great Waldo Pepper! (Filmed right here at home!)

The Spirit of St. Louis?

The Rocketeer, kinda lame story, but great flying and
the female lead ain't half bad either!


But for wider audience appeal, the recent Pearl Harbor
might be a good one.

More a love story than a war story, but some good flying.
