text: The thing is that typically German aircraft were quite colourful compared to the Allies anyway.  For instance, the colourful splinter camouflage shown on the Gotha bomber was common, especially among Albatross Staffels.  Even Richtofen's flying circus had colourful aircraft, though not all of them were red.  Either Goerings or Lothar Von Richtofen flew an aircraft that was partially red, either the fueselage or wings, but the other parts were a different colour.

message: I added the rating from the Rotten Tomatoes web site to the Reaction section. The only reaction, so far, was a positive one. Rotten Tomatoes has a wider range of opinions. Agoodall 04:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I've corrected several things in the article and fixed several spelling errors. I've also removed a sentence which was more towards hostility towards the film, violating Wikipedia's neutrality policy. I've also included several points made by Tony Bill and Phil Sears in the two-disk edition that were not mentioned in the original article.

thread_title:  EDITED: Filming Errors 

message: I removed two sections that seemed to me to be editor speculation.  Absent confirmation by the filmmakers, I don't see either of these can remain in the article.
:::(although it is possible this scene was meant to demonstrate the large amounts of inaccurate "scuttlebutt" that was passed along during the war)
and
:::However, the film might have used it to demonstrate the style of transport ships during the war.
The first statement also seems rather cliched.  All wars (even today, with the 'Net and the 24 hour news cycle, some would argue that the latter have made rumor-mongering even worse ) are rife with rumor; particularly in the Great War and WWII, disinformation and/or propaganda helped to contribute to the constant buzz of inaccuracy swirling amongst servicemembers.

thread_title:  No Plot Line 

message: The latest edit removed a contentious issue in that the filmmakers relied on modern replicas with inaccurate details especially in the use of radial rather than rotary engines. Other aspects were also summarily excised. A more detailed critique should appear here prior to further revisions. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 05:04, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The inspiration for "Flyboys" appears to be an editorial in the Nov. 7, 1991 issue of the Shasta College Lance, pg. 3, which covers aspects of WWI flying clearly reiterated in the film.    50.202.81.2 (talk) 04:53, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
