Aerial dogfights, Lafayette Escadrille
Perhaps I should have my husband type this review, the CDs were for him. He especially likes movies that combine history and action, and if airplanes are involved, he is very happy. He has had a lifelong love for airplanes, and is the one we always turn to and ask, "What kind of plane was that?" He was on the edge of the sofa through most of the movie, and his comment at the end was "That was very good, something I'll keep and watch over again." It sits right beside his copy of "Pearl Harbor", the movie with Ben Alleck and Josh Hartnett. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 is because as a child I heard stories from a family friend who was in the Lafayette Escadrille, and he described hours and days of tedium and deprivation, not a lot of dash and glory in his stories. Dash and glory sells movies, and this one has it.
