Bravo!!!
Inspired by true events surrounding the Lafayette Escadrille of WWI, this movie sets out to entertain as well as inform viewers about an important piece of history. The dog fight footage is brilliant! The airplane had only recently been invented when it was introduced to the war effort, so the faith and bravery it took to get into these early planes had to be incredible. Jean Reno is outstanding as the captain of the young pilots who don't have a long life expectancy. In fact, all the acting and action scenes were outstanding and the digital sequences masterfully done. I really could not tell the real planes from the digital ones and I watched the film carefully three times.Chrissy K. McVay - Author
