We watched Devotion (2022) the other night – Bearcats in the states – corsairs in Korea 🙂

It mostly stuck to the real story and was not ultra overdramatised like most war films since (enter a date).

The aerial coordinator (Kevin LaRosa) also did ‘Maverick’ recently and they went to great lengths to use real a/c when possible.
A mock Carrier was built on a runway at Bulloch County Airport,Statesboro,Georgia (one of the few areas where they slipped up as the ‘Island’ could have done with a little ‘ageing’ – it was too pristine).
The descent and approach into the forced landings was filmed up near Wenatchee and Pasco, Washington.The in cockpit shots were filmed in the rear seat of a Sea Fury T Mk. 20 .
The movie mostly sticks to the real story and seems historically accurate,and thus not grossly over dramatised like most war films made since (insert a date ).
