Good Times

How jolly to be in the Luftwaffe! You can curse and eat wild boar and listen to player pianos, and if you get deployed five times a day, you blow the bejazus - or whatever the German equivalent is - and fly back to base. If you crash your plane, one of the others will pick you up.

This is the first wartime flying movie I've seen in which everyone has a grand time, even the pilots who are captured by the French. In between blowing up ship, tanks, and random Frenchies, it's all fine fun. Every other example of the genre had the men operating under stress, with lots of drinking and everyone near to cracking: American, British, even Japanese war flying films shows that the men in the air and those who send them up there take things seriously.
