Excellent - This film is based on two books written by men who lived this. Sagittarius Rising by Cecil Lewis and Journey's End by RC Sheriff. The makers have neatly knit these two together into a film that is the most realistic WW I drama that I have ever seen. The pressures of command, where whiskey was the essential, lubricant, the revolving door of new men who rarely lasted more than 2 weeks and mad high spirits of the mess and the impossibility of showing emotion to loss. A fine script and great actors too.

Longer scenes in the O-club than in the air.

Along with the Dawn Patrol this is the best ww1 flying movie ever made!!!
