My Dad, a WW II vet who trained with the Army Air Force as an aviation cadet, would have loved this film. He liked "Memphis Belle", the film about WW II flyers.

Could be wrong here, but didn't the Neuport have a leRhone ROTARY engine?

Looks like the story might be OK, but if I want a video game, I'll buy one I can interact with.

It worked with Star wars because we didn't have any idea what a star war would look like (hint; no great big fiery explosions) ... I'm not in a hurry to pay to see this one.

Read this article in the WSJ - guess I thought it was interesting because the movie "Aviator" starts off with Hughes filming "Hells Angels" which is a direct tie-in to this article. It was interesting to find out that very few movies have been made on this topic.

I assume (but don't know) that the Hells Angels bikers took their name from the Hughes movie (which may have gotten it's name from real life)?
