Good but far from realistic. Not one rotary engine in the bunch and what
were those goofey back fires every time they pulled an engine through.
Also, the engine sounds weren't even close to correct.
True, the backfires were overdone, and the Fokker triplane in a dive
sounded suspiciously like a P-47 Thunderbolt. And, as long as we're
picking nits, landing at night or in no-man's land was a bit over the
top, too.
But, hey -- it was a movie about AVIATION, and it was 95% well done.
Lot's of non-flying folks were in the crowd, and some of them will be
enamored enough with the beauty of this movie and flight in general to
head to their FBO tomorrow.
THAT can only be good.
