Of course, there have been many other films with some great aviation stunts, footage, and ‘feel of flying’, but not really full aviation films.

What comes to mind are clips from Tora, Tora, Tora ; Midway; and depictions of the Battle of the Coral Sea.
Apocalypse Now’s infamous Ride of the Valkyries scene; Many World at War and Victory at Sea film cuts actual combat footage;

I sort of liked Jimmy Stewart’s ‘No Highway In The Sky’, which is somewhat apropos today with the Boeing 777 loss of its tail when it landed.

I think some of the same clips were in both Tora Tora Tora and Midway.
