Good flying - bad history
This is a good Sunday afternoon movie. It has some great flying in it though not much in historical accuracy or character development. The movie is suppose to be about the infamous Red Baron who shot down over 80 Allied airmen and Roy Brown who is credited with bringing him down in April of 1918 though most now believe it was the work of machine gunners on the ground.Had the movie not been about about actual historical characters, it might be a bit more enjoyable for fans of WWI aerial warfare. Instead it's hard to ignore the historical inaccuracies and the little character insight we get into the Red Baron who is portrayed more as wood than man.If you like WWI aerial warfare than check out this movie but if you are pedantic over historical details and machinery be forewarned before you burst a blood vessel.
