Monty Python's Flying Circus: Set 1, Episodes 1-6
$19.95
I love Monty Python's Flying Circus. Have since the show first aired. This DVD is a collection of the first six episodes that were shown on TV. Although Python is not for everyone, I think what they did was classic comedy.

Col. Culpeper's Flying Circus
$34.94
A look at one of the world's finest collections of historic combat aircraft: the ghost squadron of the Confederate Air Force. Seven thousand enthusiasts, including H.R.H. Prince Philip, work to keep Messerschmitts, Spitfires, Mustangs, and Flying Fortresses aloft. Take a look back in time as you see restored vintage aircraft, as these pilots re-enact World War II air battled. Sensational aerobatics are shown on special footage.

Monty Python is simply brilliant Brittish comedy. It is dry, and the episodes are fairly short, but there is nothing else like it!

Watch them!

Fighting the Flying Circus: The Greatest True Air Adventure to Come out of World War I
$19.00
If you are a WWI enthusiast or simply interested in aviation, this book is a must read. Captain Rickenbacker takes you inside the mind of a fighter pilot and in doing so makes you feel as if you are right there with him in battle. This book will keep your attention from beginning to end and is simply hard to put down. From the beginnings of the Hat in the Ring squadron to the final days of the war, Capt. Rickenbacker allows you to fly along with him in a hair raising game of death high over German lines. Not only does he do a wonderful job of explaining the true pressures of flying combat aircraft, but he also allows the reader to peer inside the head of a pilot concerned not only for his own safety, but burdened with the safety of the men under his command. You will not be disappointed.

The only problem I see, and this is a minor one, is with the title. Although the title makes it sound as if Rickenbacker spent most of his time fighting against the famous Flying Circus of the Red Baron this simply isn't the case. He does talk about several deadly battles with the Flying Circus but these are few and far between. Rickenbacker makes no claim of ever personally fighting the Baron himself.
