[WWI] OT Movie - Angel's Wing

[pezo8481 at bellsouth.net]

Brad,

     Yes, I got the DVD sometime last fall.  I liked this movie.  You could say it is the French version of the BLUE MAX.  The flying scenes are good.  The French flying scenes are with a Bleriot XI, Morane-Saulnier (G or H), Morane-Saulnier A1, Morane-Saulnier P and (I'm guessing) Stampes as S.E.5's.  No Nieuports (Sorry, Matt).  There is a SPAD XIII in the film, but no flying scenes of it.  The Germans fly Fokker Dr.1 (of course) and what looks like an Albatros C.1.
      I believe this movie was made in 1992 and was released to DVD in 2008.  The movie is in French with subtitles, but it is not hard to follow.  This is a "dark" movie and I thought the acting was good.  I mentioned this movie on the list last year after I have purchased the DVD and watched it.  If you have the opportunity to get the DVD my suggestion is to do it!
