i've enjoyed many of the movies listed and other's I haven't even heard of. but i'm surprised the movie Dark Blue World hasn't come up by anyone. tells the story of Czech pilots escaping to britain and fighting the air war in spitfires. Quite a film IMO

Always wanted to, just havent got time

I enjoyed Enemy At The Gates and The Blue Max.

There are a lot of good movies out there.... some accurate some not so much. I just posted three I like. There are many more that I just can't put in any order.
