Noooooo lol. I mean, I liked the movie for what it was and we all walked out of the theater singing "You've lost that loving feeling", but the flight stuff had too many inaccuracies. Like the "Migs". Don't get me wrong, some of the dog fight scenes were very cool, just too much "Hollywood".

I still watch it when it is on though .

If we can expand it to a series, along with injecting a whole lot of Hollywood, I would put in Ba Ba Blacksheep (or Blacksheep Squadron). In defense of this totally historically inaccurate series/movie, the Corsair is a beautiful bird and they used a lot of WWII footage along with some restored American and Japanese aircraft.

That series is what got me into WWII aircraft so even though it's not accurate, it has a special place in my heart.
