You only need a good Storywriter, what is hard to get in modern times with its sequals, prequals and its only good/bad guy themes.

As a story you could take and old pilot who was on war from the beginning of his carreer and is delusioned and a young inexperienced, overmotivated and from propaganda blinded pilot. That all around late43/early1944 where the bomber raids became more and more massive and the situation for the luftis became more desperate and disadvantaged. Just a movie about normal people who try to survive in a war that lost all barriers.
Like a Das Boot in the air. That would be an excellent film.

I forgot to mention "All quiet on the western front".

Both the 1930 and 1979 movies.

Live with that... It's one of the biggest "wrong sides" of human history.

excellent, long, depressing sense of the inevitable.

although tbf galland or hartmann would make good subjects for a film. rudel not so much, what with all that nazi-poster-boy thing he had going on.

For pure fiction the Luftwaffe novel, "Ace" by Spencer Dunmore is a great little yarn. BoB fledgling to jaded Bodenplatte veteran with lots of rooting and flying in between. Certainly enough room for mass appeal in there.

"A Bridge Too Far" is a good start.

Can't say I've seen much if any yellow tails in late war scenarios, I have seen many yellow rudders though. Could be wrong, don't know everything

It's so even the most disinterested viewer (meaning target audience) can tell who the bad guys are. Red tails = good, yellow tails = cowardly Huns.
