This review is from: When Hollywood Ruled the Skies (Hardcover)

Mr. Oriss has written a very nice book. "When Hollywood Ruled the Skies" is a fairly detailed look at the aviation film classics dealing with World War II. "Air Force," "God Is My Co-Pilot," "The Flying Tigers," "Midway," "Wake Island," "A Wing and a Prayer," "Fighter Squadron," "The War Lover," "Twelve O'Clock High," and many many more. Oriss includes plot summaries, production notes, box office figures, and other interesting details, as well as over one hundred photographs. Although not every WWII-related aviation film is listed, Oriss got most of them.

My only complaint--there isn't a sequel!!!
