Fantastic Movie
This is one of my favorite movies and I think it's one of the best in it's genre. I have heard many people say that it is not very accurate, but I have done extensive research into WWI air combat and the Lafayette Escadrille in particular, and I thought the movie was very well done. The only real anachronism I saw was that all the German planes in the movie were painted like the Red Baron, but in truth, the planes from both sides, looked so much alike that on a movie screen, it would be hard to tell who was shooting who, so I think it was a liberty that needed to be taken so as not to confuse the viewer. The extra features on the second disk were also enjoyable for anyone who is interested in the time period, and I really suggest the deleted scenes as well. I thought they added to the movie a lot and wished they hadn't been deleted! Over all, I am glad I decided to purchase the collector's addition and was not disappointed in it.
