"Wings" (1927)

The first picture to win the Academy Award for Outstanding Picture as it was called then. There were no special effects. Cameras were mounted on the planes. That meant the actors had to fly their own airplanes. Buddy Rogers not only learned to fly but logged over 100 hours in the air during filming.
