Fighter Squadron.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

yep, love that movie and the TV B & W series as well........


also the one  where Ronald Regan played a new pilot learning  how to identifiy if the silhoute was frinedly or enemy........name of it escapes me right now, and  another is: ''John Wayne in the Flying Tigers.......think that was the name......

for mdern day, I also like "The Aviator" Howard Hughes story with Leanardo  as Hughes.....

hope to see Flyboys soon, haven't heard much about it though........

Pearl was a flop.......

Baa Baa Black Sheep is always a favorite for entertainment....
"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

flyboys was great, infact, i should have added it in my post. dark blue world is great too, but not as well known, it's about the polish BoB pilots, quite dark and moving but a great film.
