I can'r remember wher I read it... I've been all over these forums and at SimHQ...

A month or two back I read somewhere of an older film about WWI dogfighting ... I just can't remeber for teh life of me what it was.

It wasn't Aces High, The Blue Max or Dawn Patrol

If I recall it was done by a pretty famous director and lots of close action flying sequences. Can anyone refresh my memory as to what the tiltle might have been?

Which was featured in The Aviator, a biography of Howard Hughes released a year or two ago, which I personally found interesting, especially his contribution towards the WW2 effort.

There was another Howard Hughes film that was much better about this guy who found him in the desert.
Cant remember the title.
