"The Dam Busters" - PC alert, there is one unfortunately named dog in the movie whose name is a racial slur. Some people might not like that.

"The Dish" - a light comedy from Australia about ground support for the Apollo 11 mission. This happens to be one of the most accurate space movies I've ever seen and has some good laughs to boot. Highly recommended.

"Thirty Seconds over Tokyo" - about the Doolittle Raid as written by one of the participants.

"In Harm's Way" - fictional account of naval warfare in WWII, good movie.

"Enemy at the Gates" - the Soviets lost some 20 million troops in WWII. See this movie and you'll understand why. This is based on a true story of two snipers hunting each other during the Battle of Stalingrad.

"Best Years of Our Lives" - life wasn't always easy after the troops came home from war.

"From the Earth to the Moon" - Tom Hank's 12 hour tribute to the Apollo program.

"The Great Waldo Pepper" - simply one of the best aviation movies of all time. For those who have not seen it, picture this: Robert Redford doing his own stunts including wing walking and plane-to-plane transfers without a parachute.

Note: There were two movies about the Memphis Belle. The first was a documentary and the second a feature film. The feature film somewhat overdramiticized that one mission. Other than that, it did realistically portray how tough air combat was in WWII.

"12 O'Clock High" was both a great movie and a training device. The Air Force has used it as a leadership training film for many years. We actually studied it in Officer Training School.
