2. The movie synopsis describes his attitudes shortly before his dead as: "When he realizes that, due to the military's abuse of him for purpose of propaganda, he has led thousands od soldiers, who blindly idolize him, to their doom, Manfred von Ricjthofen decides ro withdraw from being the object of hero worship .."

This is the only part of the synopsis I have a problem with. I don't want some PC moralising in this film, and I let them know this. Just give me an objective film and I will attend.
So how's the flying and maneuvers gonna be? Will all the GAS fighters be red triplanes?
I vidcapped my old tape of Hell's Angels for long-term backup and those planes (1930) were
all the real articles that Hughes acquired at the end of WWI. 1 Gotha bomber. A complete
freaking about 15 plane wing of DVII's. Two wings of SE-5A's. At least 1 Brit 2 seater.
Most of it is in one long bit near the end but that part is gold and runs a long way not
counting cutscenes to the Flying Circus HQ including the tents and the takeoff maneuvers.
I am looking forward to this movie as well. I caught Flyboys, which though not historically accurate and had it's flaws for sure, was still a good film IMO and as always it was great to see the aircraft on the screen with today's technology. CGI allows for a greater level of detail and camera angles than before. No more of that film in the background screen that is so obvious in most cases, and while CGI is often very easy to spot to any one who is into film, youd be surprised at how much CGI we actually miss in most films because it isnt in a place that you obviously would expect it.
