Reach for the Sky. I watched this today and all I can say is WOW!!!

The movie is tribute to the unbreakable spirit of an indomitable man.

Douglas Bader.

Badrer's story is an amazing one. I have always admired him as a flyer.

We all know why he enjoyed the film -

It's the nurses' uniform, you see.

It is a good film, along with The First Of The Few - the story of R. J. Mitchell's development of the Spitfire.

Films were best when they could use the real things and not cgi.

Fully agree, fantastic film. Bader is portrayed very well. First of the Few is also a great film, David Niven is great in it.
