Hi,
True Grit is a good movie, perhaps Waynes best. But in no respect was it ahead of it's time. As respects to aviation, there are few good
dogfights on film. You might try the old brit docudrama 'Piece of Cake'. If you are familiar with dogfighting, it has some simply done, but nice work. There is one maneuver where the Spits turn aorund the flight path of incoming 109s; and turn sharply towards a wing of bombers. it's not a obvious hollywood moment, but it sat me straight up in my seat when I saw it. Sheer balls to the wall flying.
