We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost. All original material JHD, BHD, JR, WT, and KA 2003-2010 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/01/lets_pause_for.html Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:08:14 Z Movable Type 4.12 en Copyright 2012 http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Things have gotten a bit serious around here lately (and rightly so), what with Haiti, the MA Special Election (woo! HOO!), and the like...so I thought a short commercial break for aviators everywhere would be in order. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/01/lets_pause_for.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/01/lets_pause_for.html Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:59:32 -0600 Great little snippet.  I've always loved WW1 aircraft and the brave (lunatics) who flew them.  If you hasn't ever seen the classic film "The Blue Max" w/George Peppard as the lead (Lt. Bruno Stachel) and James Mason as his commanding officer (General Count Von Kluggerman), then go rent/buy it  now.  You won't regret it.

Set in WW1, the dogfights are with real aircraft, not CGI animations, the story line is a compelling tale of duty and honor, and finally, Ursula Andress (Countess Von Kluggerman) is the femme fatale'.... 

The last alone is worth the rental fee.

For the original movie trailer.
