That was a brilliant re-visit Mitchell, thanks.

All of this done before computer graphics - an achievement in those
days.




Thanks for the feedback. CGI films just don't
have the same feel.

PS: What was that awful WWI dogfighting movie
that came out a few years ago? The one that couldn't
hold a candle to Blue Max.....


Do you mean the awful film with Malcolm McDowell and a pretty-boy
blonde haired youth who salivated after his cynical leader?



No, that was "Aces High".

Cheesy, but watchable. Better was "Richtofen v. Brown"
also released as "The Red Baron" with John Phillip Law and
Don Stroud. Almost as good as "Blue Max".

"Flyboys", OTOH, was the worst WWI flying movie ever made...
