The Plot of Top Gun is 3rd Generation

 The plot of Top Gun, Maverick, is its 3rd usage. The first was a WWII war movie about the British Mosquito bomber. (see Mosquito Squadron).  The second was Star Wars' first movie.  All three involve an impossible bombing run down a low-level slot beneath enemy guns to hit a difficult target and end with a vertical climb. The wooden Mosquito bomber set the standard.
