The greatest scene in all flight movies.

[gyrene81]

You haven't seen the film have you? If I remember correctly he saw an ad for North American in a newspaper or magazine titled "Cadillac of the Skies".

i saw it...don't remember that part. was irritated that there wasn't more to the movie so i was distracted, waiting on hooters or something.

spielberg needs to explain how a kid in a foreign country who has never seen a p51...just knows what one looks like.

He saw an ad in a magazine from a red cross package describing the P-51 as the 'Cadillac of the skies.'

Yeah the Stukas looked pretty cheesy. But you can live with it for the rest of the flight scenes.

That Battle of Britain had some of the finest CGI I've ever seen.  It looked so real...  

One thing that's always driven me nuts in movies, best example here was the fight at the end of Flyboys.  Would it kill them to actually show some ACM in the fights?  Rolling scissors could be exciting if filmed well.  Instead, we get small turn left, get shot.  Small turn right, get shot again.  'Pull up and he'll fly right by us...'

I am wondering something. During the BOB was hero music always playing on the radio so the pilots and ground crews could listen to, especially when German aircraft were being downed?

Correct!
I agree with you that this was one of the top avaiation moments in movie history.

What CGI?  That movie was made in 1969 and the He-111's and ME-109's were equipped with Merlin engines.  They were Spanish AF aircraft.  The stukas were remote controlled models.  It's one of my favorites and It has been released in DVD format.

All the Best...

P-51 Cadillac of the skies!

[jeep00]

Okay, maybe not a flight movie but still......

[rpm]

Just about any scene from Wings (1927) or Hell's Angels (1930). No CGI in either of them.
