Yes, - The Blue Max still stands out as one of the few really classic  WW1 aerial combat movies. George Peppard was a likeable and ambitious character in the film and a host of other stars made up the supporting roles. The aerial combat scenes are second to none. Love that Pfalz D.III. I hope Stephen1918 can one-day make one for First Eagles.

This is one of my favorite films. Moreover, my nick-name is taken from there (lthough I was slightly mistaken and mixed the names of Gresham and Crawford). But I did not alter it. ))

Why you do not like the Pfalz D.III and D.IIIa by A-Team?

(By the way, in this film a Lt. Stachel's Pfalz is incorrectly painted. ;) The fuselage of this aircraft for some reason is covered with lozenge instead of silver/silvergrau).

...guess we skip 'Flyboys' and 'The Red Baron' (the new one) ...LOL

[+Wrench]

what about classics, like "Wings" (1927) or both versions of "The Dawn Patrol" ? (1930 & 1938) Not to forget "Hell's Angels" (1930??)

..my all time favourite!!

 

Bruno Stachel: Do you think I came all this way to run off to Switzerland with you?
Countess Kaeti von Klugermann: You gambled your life for me once with Willy.
Bruno Stachel: That was about flying, Kaeti, not about you!

I know I'm late to the parade here, but this is one of my favorite movies of all time. You've made me drag out my dvd and watch it again, Geezer. Thanks.
