Today a still from Hano Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises film. Loosely based on the biography of the designer of the Mitsubishi ‘Zero’ fighter, it’s an aeronautical design fest, even if very free with real history and some design.

Other aspects are bang on, and some, such as the Caproni dream relationship feature often forgotten aircraft types that were very real in their day.
