I have heard about at least four movies with Ernst Udet (available on video today):

Die weiße Hölle von Piz Palü (1929),
Stürme über dem Mont Blanc (1930)
SOS Eisberg (1932/33),
Das Wunder des Fliegens (1935)

I remember I have only seen parts of "The White Hell of Piz Palü". Are the others worth buying too? I am referring to Udets parts as pilot here.

Hannes:

I have a copy of Das Wunder des Fliegens (1935). This movie's first aim is selling the young Germans to join with the Luftwaffe... and it then throws in some of Udet's flying skills. In the beginning of the movie, Udet takes a young boy interested in learning to fly up in his plane and does a few tricks. Udet later chit-chats with the boy's mother on her son learning to fly, etc. There are a few good flying parts. It even has footage of Udet's fine skiing abilities (if that's really Udet on those skis.)
