I still think the skip bomber was the better idea from war years, but 
you never hear
about that in history.

Well if you like prop-planes the animated movie
Porco Rosso will be out feb 22.
-------  from *Nausicaa.net -----*
Porco Rosso (the Japanese title Kurenai no Buta literally means "The 
Crimson Pig") was first planned as a 30-45 minutes in-flight movie on 
Japan Airlines. It's been described as "a movie which tired businessmen 
on international flights can enjoy even with their minds dulled due to 
lack of oxygen." As Miyazaki's imagination took off, it became a 
feature-length movie about an Italian Air Force pilot who left the 
service due to the rise of fascism. He became a bounty hunter, assuming 
the name "Porco Rosso."
