There were Tiger Moths fighting on both sides! The Germans usually featured 
one Dr.1, one D.VII (with the engine upside down), one Pfalz, and the rest 
were Tiger Moths. The English had SE5as "padded" with them. The icing was 
that brand-new airplane Stachel was supposed to fly at the end of the movie. 
And I must confess, all these things pretty much spoiled the experience for 
me ... To me, this is like reading a book full of typos. :(

Flyboys looks a bit like "Crimson Skies" going historical, but it's definitely 
nicer than the "Blue Max". I'll probably go for it.
