Guess I had not seen this film for a while. The burning pilot and New replacement Pilots caught me by surprise.

Nice, it's in my Netflix queue. It's good to see the Brits employing the little known SPAD 5a there! Those German archie guys were cracker jacks! Guess we shouldn't complain, eh?

That....one clip said more about World War I than most books I've read on the subject. Nice find!

Not taking into account all the historical inaccuracies in the film, it is still a great WWI aviation story and 1 of my favorites. Based on the book Goshawk Squadron which is a good read.

Didn't know it was based on Goshawk Squadron. I do know the the scene in the Cafe and the prostitute scene was based on Cecil lewis Sagittarius Rising.
