Twelve O'clock High is by far and away the best WWII aviation movie. BUT, most will dismiss it because it really doesn't have wall to wall aerial sequences. But it has an incredible story line, is great drama and well acted.
Some of the 1940s aviation film are good too if only for the planes featured.
A Guy Named Joe - lots of P-38s and B-26s as Betty bombers. Good movie too.
Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo - Doolittle Raid
Command Decision - somewhat like Twelve O'clock High
God is My Co Pilot - Lots of P-40s.
Black Sheep Squadron. What a waste of film. What did one aviation magazine call it? Oh yeah, Gidget Goes For an Airplane Ride. It has not aged well.
