You should watch Wings (1927). William A. Wellman, the Director, John Monk Saunders, the writer and Richard Arlen all were combat pilots in WW I. The aerial combat footage is superb and ahead of it's time.
Silent films by Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and the incredible Harold Lloyd are very entertaining and still relevant today. These are just a few examples.
