The Best Pilot in the World

The archive footage this film uncovers is powerful, bringing to life the experiences we explore with Uri. Over his 41 years of service in the Israeli Air Force, Uri downed many enemy planes and he can't hide the pride he feels: 'I'm the only pilot who downed planes in all the wars. Two of them hit the cockpit.' Yet Uri claims to have never gloated: 'I was never happy afterwards. I like to show the enemy some respect. ' Battle-hardened, he admits to 'flourishing in wars.' For him, the key character components of any good soldier are an ability to adapt and an understanding of sacrifice.

Aces High

The first World War is in its third year and aerial combat above the Western Front is consuming the nation's favored children at an appalling rate. By early 1917, the average life-span of a British pilot is less than a fortnight. Such losses place a fearsome strain on Gresham, commanding officer of the squadron. Aces High recreates the early days of the Royal Flying Corps with some magnificently staged aerial battles, and sensitive direction presents a moving portrayal of the futilities of war.
