I've read some of the other comments on this film and mostly agree. The glitches are hilarious, especially the stock footage of the F100 floating on its engine power before crashing. Yes, there are artistic flaws here, and yes it's a love story more than simply a war story. However, we can glean a lot more from these older movies by looking at some of the behavior that is special to the time. For example, who knew that the Joe College lingo would call something George for good and Tom for bad. And "Koo Koo Daddyo!" That's early fifties and I was around 2 and 3 when the war was on and 8 when the movie was made. The philosophy of Saville saying he kills planes. You ask any fighter pilot and he will tell you that in the final analysis, that's what establishes air superiority. You get a real feel for the times when you apply observation and reflection (that's why I love the WWII movies). So...there's a lot more to these movies, even the flawed ones, than just the story. But I don't have to tell any of you that. You know.
