But you've got to absolutely love that Luftwaffe one from WW II that had
the riveted helmet made from several pieces of Plexiglas...
That baby was was right out "The Rocketeer" itself.
BTW...who could look absolutely hotter than Angelina Jolie in that

That's perfect! The eyepatch makes the whole character!
They even got the RAF "mirror" camouflage and marking style right...it's
a pity that the movie is going to end up in that "Tron" bin as far as

This is "Golden Age Air Adventure Stories" incarnate:
