It still looks better than Thunder Over Reno.

Jack that was a great move. I can't believe that they asked for that for a movie like this.

That's not historically accurate. Those are later model Pterodactyls that didn't come out until late in the war. You can tell by the beaks and the shape of the wings.

Sheeeesshhhh, when will Hollywood get it right? :lol:
