A biplane pilot who had missed flying in WWI takes up barnstorming and later a movie career in his quest for the glory he had missed, eventually getting a chance to prove himself in a film depicting the dogfights in the Great War.

Stars Robert Redford as said pilot.

Finally got to see this movie (just finished it in fact). What a great flick!!! Superb!! And an
outstanding cast along with the duo behind "Butch Cassiday", George Roy Hill and William Goldman
and music by Henry Mancini!!
Great aviation scenes and from what I just researched NO CGI!!! No bluescreens!! Real pilots (including two legendary stunt pilots Frank Tallman and Paul Mantz both who would die in air
crashes years later) real flying and the actors in the planes!!
There were some shocking scenes (the one with Susan Sarandon and the one at the Muncie Air
Show) and some very touching scenes like the conversations between Redfords character and the
German ace on the movie set!!
And what a wonderful, powerful ending. Wow!! I'm shocked that I had never seen this before but
maybe it was better I've seen it now because I can appreciate it all that much more.
Thanks again for the heads up!!
