Olham 164 Posted December 9, 2009 It is about Guynemer a lot, I would say. He cannot join the French army due to his tuberculosis, he just cured; they won't have him. Then he works hard on becoming a pilot, although he suffers from vertigo. But he makes it and starts in the Morane Parasol. Well, I won't tell the whole film, but I found it good.

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted December 9, 2009 . Olham, from your short description it sounds like they were pretty accutate about Guynemer. I may have to go looking for this one myself. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted December 9, 2009 Lou, for a man as interested in the whole WW1 aviation as you are, I would say: you can't do anything wrong there - get it; you will like it. You should even watch it without reading the subtitles the first time - it was incredible, how much I got without being any good at French. But it's the expression and the acting, and what they do, that explains it almost intuitive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted December 9, 2009 . You've talked me into it Sir. It is now on my list. Thanks! . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrick58 23 Posted December 9, 2009 Well The critics didnt like this film, of course they didnt like Flyboys. I have the DVD and saw Flyboys along with the grandson and we liked it. The critics didnt like the Red Baron film but if it shows up in the U.S. I will buy it. In conclusion, I think I will buy this one too. Thanks Guys for your input.

+Polovski 460 Posted December 9, 2009 Just a headsup I got this from Amazon and the picture quality is poor not sure all versions are mastered the same way, but just a FYI. Seems to be a very small area used on the picture frame. I watched part of it so far, seems OK otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
