Not a very good flick in my opinion. I liked Clint Eastwood better when he was acting instead of directing. But, would be kinda hard to put him back into cowboy land as a quick shooter with him being 70something years old. I'd prefer to see Sands of Iwo Jima with the Duke for 897th time before I'd ever purchase or care to see Clint's let-down again. I've never been that big into WWI, but after I decided to see Flyboys it sparked an interest in the Escadrille Layfeyette and I've bought some books. Amazingly the Lion mascot (Whiskey) was the real deal, along with a lot of other "stuff" that I would have otherwise dismissed as hollywood make-up crap.
