Two more:

Charles Bowman...Who?? Co pilot of The Body, the B-17 in John Hersey's The War Lover. His sanity in a basically insane situation gives him my vote over Morrow, the pilot.

Has anyone else read The Last Tally Ho (besides, I'm sure, Hellcat. Mark, you still out there?)?
The main character (Dick Mariner?) was a hero to me when I was young, and Winston was another.

That is too sweet! B-17 has always been my favorite segment of Heavy Metal.

How about Brad Randolph (Kung Fu Carradaine) from "Cloud Dancer"? And little cameo,s from Jimmy Leeward, Poberezny and others. I love that movie, the filming makes up for the acting.
Best? Jimmy Stewart in any aviation movie he made.

How about Will Tasker in Slipstream?

A hint on the actor.., he used to "bull's eye womprats in my T-16 back home in Beggers Canyon"

Know who it is? LOL :?

What was the airplane that he flew in Slipstream? Really cool looking!

Mark Hamill. The plane was an Edgley Optica, a neat aircraft but starcrossed for the
attempted maufacturer. Only a handful were built and survive after a factory fire, IIRC.
