Is there a Sci-fi element to this Lawrence? The burning Hellcat looks like it's being intensely heated up by a alien ray or something?
Love your thinking Wil but unfortunately no. You certainly deserve some points for trying. One war is portrayed as happening at the present time, and the other war is in the mind and told in flashbacks.
I noted that the image is historic. Here it is from 1943. I hope that Lt was awarded at least the Navy Cross for climbing into that burning plane Crash landing of F6F on flight deck of USS ENTERPRISE while enroute to attack Makin Island. Lt. Walter Chewning, catapult officer, clambering up the side of the plane to assist pilot, Ens. Byron Johnson, from the flaming cockpit. November 1943. (Navy)

Great info on the image Jay.
The film utilized real life colour aerial combat film and the climatic battle scenes are actually footage taken during the Batte Of Leyte Gulf in the Phillippines in 1944.
The USS Enterprise shown during the Battle Of Leyte Gulf.
Correct. Well done Wil. The Bridge ( Die Bruche ) is a 1959 West German film. I viewed the film at a film society screening, and the 16mm print shown was courtesy of the West German Embassy and it was in English, and very well dubbed, if I remember correctly.
Agree Ves. My neighbour collects soviet era propaganda posters (house covered in them), stunning artwork, but very poor quality paper, very high acid content/browned much more than movie posters from the same period.

Something different this time. Three classic European films but may prove to be a challenge.
I said it may be challenging, so come clues -
199 - Russian film.
200 - German film.
201 - American actress appeared in this Italian film, which was actually a co-production.
can't pronounce Russian name, but here is poster
Correct. Also very well worked out by Jay. A well regarded film from the Soviet Union.
Another clue for the remaining unanswered 201. The leading American actress had a famous father.
203 204
Three new British film images to identify.
Yes, correct, and the film was released in 1943.
How about these three then?
The Train (1965), Burt Lancaster in the lead.
