Default Fighter Squadron

There is an old (1948?) movie out there some might enjoy. Fighter Squadron stars Edmund O'Brien and uses P-47s in the storyline. Netflix doesn't list it but I'm sure a search of the web would shake out a copy to purchase.

Anyhow it's pretty good because there are no special effects, models, mock ups and all that. Only a few years after the war they had plenty actual planes to use. I recall they probably used Bf 108s as German fighters.

I've seen this movie before but, it's been so long ago that I can't remember anything about it. And yup, Edmund O'Brian is a fine actor.
