Real Planes - Kudos!
I gave this movie 10 stars for one reason: They used real planes in the stunts and dog fights! George Peppard even got his flying license for the movie so he could do some of his own flying. For you purists, yes, some of them were converted from other models and the Fokkers were re-creations albeit real flying airplanes. To watch real planes take off, land, have dog fights, etc. was a real joy. Today you know what you would see? CGIs. Enjoy this gem of a movie during the 100th anniversary of WWI.
