the air combat scenes were just superb. really portrayed how frail those byplanes were. you have a really hard time differentiating between the real aircraft and the computer generated ones. the only thing that isn't completely true to history is that the germans are portrayed as flying only the Fokker D.III triplane. other than that, the air combat really got my adernaline pumping, i'm pretty sure it will do the same to you also.

I saw the movie last week. I agree with bigcanada813's assessment. It was a real good movie.

A little off-topic, but here's a video of actors David Ellison and James Franco getting hops with (respectively) the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels:
