Aviation War Films

Wings was awarded the first-ever Best Picture Oscar in 1929, a salute to its director William Wellman, a former member of the Lafayette Flying Corps.

Probably one of the weirdest war film you'll ever watch.

" Let me see if I've got this straight: in order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy and I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy any more and I have to keep flying. "

" Whoo.. That's some catch, that Catch- 22. "

This film conveys how magnificent flying was in the first decade of flight. I believe it deserves much more credit than it's received.

I love this film more than what others rate due to the fact that it stars my favorite aircraft, the "Flying Tiger" correctly known as a Curtiss P-40
