(okay, that's overstated, but George P sure knows his way around a darkroom, so to speak!)
Two other WW1 flying movies that are worth a look,
"Aces High" with Malcolm McDowell (Alex in A Clockwork Orange)
"Hell's Angels" - Howard Hughes financed (and directed) this in 1930. The flying scenes were the absolute state of the art for the time, and if you like WWI aircraft, or you just like historical drama, this is very much worth seeing.
