No CGI, no models or miniatures. All real stunt flying. Still the best WW1 movie ever made.

A Jew In-ventted the coal Skuttle Sturm-Trooper  helmet in 1915. A.D.

@lehighmark , yeah me too. in his younger days he was a talented action actor. I loved that they used replica planes for shooting the scenes, not CGI like Fly Boys.

The "Stahlhelme" on the Germans in the opening scene are WRONG; those are WW TWO helmets; I guess it was just easy enough for a massed-scene such as this but they are not correct.

[SatchmoSings]

The George Peppard character (Lt. Bruno Stachel) is never accepted by his literally more aristocratic peers; they can't stand that he comes from "the lower classes" and behaves precisely as one from that station.

But remember this; those men in the squadron that survived the war would have "gone along" with Hitler for the sake of recapturing some of their past glory but Stachel would have been a real, honest-to-goodness Nazi and would have been PROUD of it!

@ortafunk Oh shut up.

@fushheads It wsas a Tigermoth. They used slight variations for German 2 seater planes also, but covered them in lozenge camoflauge. It was probably cheaper than building and Albatros C, DFW, or any authentic WW1 2 seaters. They did build the Pfalz D3 pretty accurately although no Pfalzs had fuselages covered in the lozenge style camo.

Still one of my personal favorite movies of Drive-In days!

@ortafunk That's because old CRTs were designed to look good displaying a low resolution composite video signal. Try watching a blu-ray disc on an old CRT TV and a modern LCD, the LCD should win hands down.
