Impressive! Kind of a "Top Gun" of World War I !
Although the story starts in a somehow unrealistic way, failing to explain in full the motives behind the young Americans who volunteered to fight in France in World War I, the training of the fliers and the dogfights are terrific! The film has some of the best aerial shots I have ever seen and the machine gun fire (and also the damage it causes) is so realistic! There is also a tender love story between an American pilot and a French girl which also adds merit to the film and is used as a counter-weight to the brutality of the air war. Very good film and surely a must for aviation fans.
