The Hunters (1958)
Excellent, although dated aviation-romance.
Robert Mitchum and Robert Wagner team up with May Britt to provide aviation enthusiasts a 1950's era movie filled with exciting combat, while Mitchum romances May Britt on the ground.
The enemy flies F-84's (not exactly Mig 15's) while the good guys fight with F-86's, but the action shots are good. Aviation art buffs will smile at the Kacee Jones "The Crapshooter" who has 7 & 11 dice painted on his aircraft nose.
If you like aviation movies, this is one to see.
You will recognize some other actors as well.
The High and the Mighty (1954)
Great Aviation Video
I have enjoyed the video ever since I saw it as a kid in 1954. When John Wayne died, it was on HBO as a tribute, so I bought my first VCR and made a tape of it. Glad I did so because the copyrite dispute between Warner Brothers and BATJAC has shelved this excellent movie.
When the issue of greed is resolved the public will be treated to an aviation classic. The near final scene and musical score are top notch.
