Sharp and poignant war drama
By a customer from Leeds , 29 Nov 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Macolm Macdowel sheds bowler and milk for goggles and alcohol in this very pointed and keenly observed character study. Students of warfare will identify, often misty eyed, with the leadership and unequalled courage of pilots during the first world war. I have never heard the insult 'prig' being used with such intensity before.- Was this review helpful to you?

(9)Inferior adaptation of an excellent 1920's play.
By Dinosaur (11 reviews) , 09 Feb 2013A very poor adaptation of a 1920. s play written by a veteran of the trenches, but with the scene transferred into the air in an attempt to make it more cinema-friendly and commercial. Much is lost on the way although it may possibly be enjoyed purely as an airshow the aircraft themselves are various bogus mock-ups and the same could be said of most of the acting. The 1930's Errol Flynn/Basil Rathbone film about the WW1 air war is superior in every way.- Was this review helpful to you?

Don't bother
By a customer from London , 19 Apr 2008Utter rubbish. Frightful overacting. Replica SE5 aircraft have modern Cesna 150 wheels! Who needs to watch this?- Was this review helpful to you?

Good film
By Neil Tucker from High Wycombe, UK , 14 Feb 2007Pretty good film showing the horrific realities of aerial combat in WW1, bit of a 'Standard' as far as aviation films are concerned. Malcolm McDowal plays a battle scarred pilot role model for an eager but disallusioned Peter Firth
