In 1945, the U.S. Government ordered this film be made to demonstrate the U.S.A.F. victories over France and Germany prior the Normandy Invasion.
This propaganda piece features actual aft and wing camera footage from American planes and even some captured German ones spliced with footage of some guy looking dramatic in a cockpit, interspliced with more stock footage to look like a semi-contiguous sequence of events. Once you get past the beginning, it's actually an experience to see real dogfight footage, and I mean real, as in this film planes and other things are shot down, sometimes with people in them.

Like any good propaganda film this one is entirely one-sided, and at times lies. It's claimed the U.S.A.F. didn't fail any missions except due to poor weather, ignoring the fact the first ever mission to feature the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt failed due to radio malfunction (whoops!), and it claims destroyed German planes far exceeded the U.S.'s own losses (actually, P-47s shot down 3,752 German planes at a cost of 3,499 P-47s...). Also, the film jokes about footage of an American fighter strafing a staff car, that it might contain Rommel. I assume they mean Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel, the guy who ignored orders the kill Jews, never committed any war crimes and tried to assassinate Adolf Hitler? Generalfeldmarschall Fedor von Bock not good enough for a strafing-joke? (Actually Rommel was forced to commit suicide in secret but the official story was he was killed in a staff car strafing, but still).

On the other hand they do acknowledge the success of Gefechtsverband tactics by the Luftwaffe and they only say "hun" a few times.

Cutting the snark, more people should see this; seeing actual dogfighting footage for yourself is nothing short of witnessing pure history on film; not to mention the pilots attending a briefing, playing ping-pong and praying to their God together, knowing that most of them are then going to be killed.
