Trailer looks good. I am a bit of a WWI aviation fan so I will probably see it. Hope I won't be disappointed....again.

I'm not going to get too excited.

I have a feeling historical accuracy will be sacrificed in the name of marketability.

I'm looking forward to it. There look to be enough flying scenes to make up for the schmaltz that appears in every aviation movie, the one exception being Tora! Tora! Tora!

Ja, magic roll and turn rates. The shot where he instantly rolls sideways to squeek between two oncoming enemy planes looks like something right out of Star Wars.
