Post; Fly Boys


Anyone else seen this movie? I'm trying to suss out just how accurate the movie was, particularly about the black pilot. Casting Jean Reno was brilliant IMHO.

i thought it was pretty good. i'm not too sure about historical accuracy, havn't exactly read a whole bunch about wwI. there's a good possibility that there is some historical truth behind the movie.

Thanks Tom. Honestly I had done a search but I guess the space between fly and boys confused the machine.
