Pegadinha:

James Franco earned his pilot's license in preparation for this film.

Goofs:

Continuidade: In the scene where Rawlings and Lucienne say their final good-byes and Lucienne is on the wagon riding away, an older man with a white beard passes Rawlings on his left and looks at him. When the movie cuts to a shot behind Rawlings, you can make out the same older man except he has not yet passed Rawlings.

Citações:

Blaine Rawlings: [wondering why Cassidy is offering a pistol] What's this for?
Reed Cassidy: Plane catches fire you got three choices: You can burn with it all the way to the ground; You can jump several thousand feet; or you can take the quick and painless way out.
[Handing gun to Beagle]
Reed Cassidy: Good luck, gentlemen.

Entertaining

Very Entertaining. I will recommend it. Attention to detail was very factual, such as filing the bullets so they wouldn't jam and the Spandaus having to be hand cocked. Drideckers, the three winged Fokkers; did not enter the war until the very end. There were also two lions; Whisky and Soda, who were later banned to the stables because they kept peeing all over the château. The characters were very well done and told a good story. I hope it makes people look up the fliers and read about them. There were quite a few men that made up the Esquidrille and all were very interesting. When fact becomes legend print the legend.
