A big budget movie directed by Roger Corman. The footage of the planes was impressive and must have been dangerous to film. I don't know how many World War One aircraft they could pull together now--they'd just use CGI anyway.
You have to feel for the poor wretches in the war, but the Kaiser was no Hitler. There was a British suffragette at the time who supported the war effort because she thought Germans were slightly more sexist than the British. Herman Goring was in the Red Baron's squadron, but he just made the other Germans seem like regular guys. The British, German and Russian royal families were all cousins. Did it matter who won the war?
Corman was ahead of his time in the foreign accent department. In Hollywood movies, American actors playing Germans speaking German would speak English with a German accent. Corman thought this was stupid and had them speak normally, but studio executives saw the movie and ordered that the German dialogue be re-dubbed.
