FILMS

Some of my favourites are:
BAT 21, even though it bears very little resemblance to the true events of that story.

STRATEGIC AIR COMMAND, poor story, not overly well acted, but truly stunning aircraft involved.

DR STRANGELOVE, just a cult classic film, and with one of the most realistic battle scenes of any film IMHO*. Also a very well travelled B52 crew, if you consider the navigator was the voice of Darth Vader in star wars.

* I consider the battle scene where the army attack the USAF base to be realistic, as it's very anonimous, quite confused, and with no heroics or glory. Plus with it being in B & W, it just seems to add grit to the whole thing.

*THREAD CREEP ON*
Did any of you read "Harrier squadron" in the Warlord comic, in the late seventies/early eighties
*THREAD CREEP OFF*
