The flying and aerial cinematography in the Piece of Cake series are the
most breathtaking I can recall.

It's been a long time since I saw it but "The Great Waldo Pepper" was pretty
good when I saw it at age 14 I think.

Agreed, that film was already mentioned.

"The Dawn Patrol" -- try to get both the Douglas Fairbanks and the
Basil Rathbone versions.

That "How to Fly a Stearman" Navy training film with Robert Taylor is fun to
watch, too.

Wasn't Slim Pickens great, and was that James Earl Jones'
first movie?

Yeah, I think that was. And Slim Pickens' first role, too. The story,
as I understand it, was that Peter Sellers was originally going to play
the bomber pilot, but he fell on the set and was injured just before
shooting of the B-52 scenes was to start. Slim Pickens was a stage hand
and Stanley Kubrik heard him talking. His thought was, "That guy
wouldn't even have to act!"
