Splendid

Aces High - having never seen the movie before, but I had heard of it, I went ahead and bought it, expecting it to be good. It was! The dogfight scenes were very convincing, although stock footage from 'The Blue Max' was used in places, but only to add a sort of 'link' to the footage you saw in the movie. Stampe SV.4s made excellent substitutes for SE5As, but the Stearmans/Tiger Moths and Jungmeisters weren't exactly convincing. But hey, who cares? This is a top notch movie, with good performances and convincing setpieces. See it, enjoy it!

Trivia
This movie is an adaptation of the play "Journey's End" by R.C. Sherriff, written just after World War I. The setting is transplanted from the trenches to an airfield, but most of the characters and some incidents are almost unchanged.

Errores
Because of the use of disguised, more modern, inauthentic aircraft, most (with the exception of the mocked-up SE5s with their forward-facing radiators hiding the V8) are shown with radial, instead of, rotary engines, where the engine block rotates around a fixed crankshaft.

Citas
Mess Corporal Bennett: [as the pilots set off early in the morning on a dangerous mission] How many for breakfast? Any of them?

Créditos curiosos
Opening credits prologue: England October 1916

Versiones alternativas
Some DVD releases feature a shorter print which reduces the French restaurant scene and misses out shots of the officers looking at a slideshow of nude photographs. These appear to have been made by the distributor, as the film has never been cut by the BBFC.
