I'd like to see the movie, but here in Poland it just isn't on the screens. WTF? Yes, I know, it's not worth watching but I'd just like to see it.

...disappointed by the fact that this is yet another sterile movie that I have no desire watching. I looked forward to it then saw few scenes from it, looks just like eye candy History Channel documentary that has little to do with what was really going on. Yet another Flyboys & Red Baron...

When they make Saving Private Ryan or Thin Red Line in the air, then I'll be happy. Unfortunately I don't see that happen any time soon.

Well said.

Though Flyboys were actually digestible when you forget the historical side.

Wasn't the biggest fan of Thin Red Line. Though it was pretty bad, with all the BS poetry, dudes practicing yoga in the middle of combat, and seeing the beautiful, windswept grassy hills of Guadacanal. At least the artillery explosion sounds were done right.

Haven't seen anything like that since the Chech movie, Dark Blue World. The Poles are supposed to be making a movie about their Squadron 303, but that won't be coming out for at least a couple years.

Unfortunately the movie business is about giving people what they want (I.E. what sells tickets) and people just don't give a crap about history. Unless the powers that be think historical inaccuracy will hurt sales, they'll do the stuff that they think will increase sales, history be damned. Wrong or right we aren't a significant factor in their thinking.

Sure, but they do want interesting dialogue, deep characters, an engaging plot, and action scenes that look real and not contrived. If a flight movie had all that then I could forgive a few unrealistic maneuvers in dogfights.
