To Aru Hikūshi e no Tsuioku

Here's an anime that tries to launch a few love triangles even as it depicts total war. A mercenary pilot of mixed race is tasked with flying a princess through enemy territory for an arranged marriage. It's not exactly *Casablanca* in the air, but it gets the job done.
