I've seen pictures of WWII AA trainers before, but I believe that this one falls into the "video simulator" category.

Hello OldAirmail, maybe you watched one from the late 30's/early 40's, I can't remember the name (so I can't find it with the "free online" routine!!). At the begining there is a scene landing in a Pitcairn Autogiro, the wealthy father of Bette Davis (playing a spoiled bratt, what else!) and there are flying scenes in a Staggerwing with James Cagney (a no money stunt pilot) arguing with bette Davis, until they did an emergency landing in the middle of nowhere, in the desert. I also remember a scene where they put avgas in a derelict model T, and that thing almost flew over the desert with so much octane, until it blew a gasket.
