Just one more thing to spend my money on when I hit the lottery jackpot. The one off Mission Beach would look great in the front yard. 
If you’ll settle for a Brewster Buffalo, I think this one would make a lovely addition to any yard. I think putting it up on a few cinderblocks would be a nice touch.
Answering a bit late here, but the Korean War fighter squadron in Jet Attack had planes that could morph from F-84’s to F-86’s and back, including during rollout.
Is there any WW2 carrier film that doesn’t have that clip of the F6F collapsing a gear on landing, smacking the island, and breaking in half behind the cockpit?
I dunno, but Flat Top has that shot.
Unfortunately, the German fighters were P-47s a lot of the time. The scene where a whole squadron of them peels off and dives in to attack has been repeated ad nauseam, not just in the movies but in TV shows like 12 O’Clock High.
I remember in one episode of Combat!, the GIs were strafed by a P-51B painted to look like a Bf-109, complete with a backward swastika on its tail. Mercifully, I think they used that footage only once.
That P-51 with a swastika was in more than one episode of Twelve O’Clock High, too.
In Korean War flicks (back to those again, maybe because American International Pictures had no money?), every single MiG-15 looked just like an F-84, too.
Meh ! In Captain of the Clouds, at the climax, when Jimmy Cagney gives his life wgile ferrying Hudsons to England, the flight his attacked by a single German plane. However anyone knowledgeable about planes will recognize the plane as a Hawker Hurricane in German markings.
I’ve been trying to think of instances where actual airplanes were used correctly in a war flick.
In The Desert Fox, I’m pretty sure James Mason as Rommel was strafed by a real RAF Typhoon.
In The Train, Burt Lancaster and crew are strafed by a real Spitfire.
In Von Ryan’s Express, they’re fired on by real Bf108s, which were trainers but could conceivably have been used in the light attack role.
In Saving Private Ryan, 9th AF P-51Ds could have been used as tank busters in Normandy.
In The Battle of Britain, the German fighters and bombers were, I think, all real but on loan from the Spanish air force, which was still using them in 1969 (and the 109s were clearly post-war models).
On the other hand…
In the aforesaid Flying Leathernecks, Grumman F4Fs or F6Fs were painted with hinomarus to represent Japanese Zeros.
In one episode of Hogan’s Heroes, they steal a German general’s private plane to bomb a factory. IIRC, they had actually managed to find footage of a German He177 Greif, which astonished me, but it was hideously interspliced with film of a B-29 and I don’t remember what else.*
*Of course, the whole sequence was processed with a night filter, so no one (ahem!) could possibly have noticed the discrepancies. :rolleyes:
Also, in The Great Escape, Hendley and Blythe correctly steal a Bf108 to fly to Switzerland, but the other planes parked at the airfield are all AT-6es painted in German markings.
That incident very nearly happened, BTW, but the two escapees who were trying to crank the airplane to start it were challenged by a guard and couldn’t speak German. (This is according to Paul Brickhill’s book The Great Escape.)
Waiting for Dublin is worth a watch - the American and British pilots are sharing a T-6, in which they somehow have 4 combat kills, when they get lost and interned in Ireland, along with a defecting German pilot in his P-40. The German pilot agrees to let himself get shot down so our intrepid hero can be an ace and win his bet with Al Capone. A crossbow bolt into the German P-40’s oil line does the trick.
The McConnell Story has grey-painted F-84F Thunderstreaks standing in for MiG-15’s. To the producers credit the F-86’s look fantastic in their 51st FIW livery.
When I saw The Incredibles I was impressed with the script during the sequence that the aircraft is under attack. Sure enouch according to IMDB
Remembered that The Train also had real Douglas A-26 Invaders flying over the trainyard while the Germans were trying to remove the white paint on the tops of the boxcars. The planes were probably supplied by the French air force, which (I would assume) was still using them in 1964.
