Above and Beyond
I really enjoyed this. Netflix Israeli Air Force origin story. Pee Wee Herman's dad, who knew?
Turns out a veteran could buy an army surplus plane for five grand after WW II. They started a Panamanian airline, flew to Czechoslovakia. There was a factory that built ME 109's, and they used the US army surplus planes to carry the fighters and supplies to Israel.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to check it out.
Not to go off topic but I thought this thread was about the Paul Tibbets movie getting the B-29 crews prepared to drop the bomb. 'Above and Beyond' is a pretty good, rarely seen movie (with Robert Taylor) about what Tibbets went through and the secrecy involved.
