Some of the obvious nits could have been avoided if they'd just had pilot

Strange. The director is Tony Bill. He's a pilot, he's been flying
for 50 years. He has a Marchetti SF 260 at SMO. Phil Sears, one of
the writers, flies out of SNA.


That *is* strange. Still, William Wellman's movie about the Lafayette
Escadrille wasn't very good, either, and he had been IN the Escadrille... :-)
