A friend gave me a copy of the silent movie "Wings", described as a 1927 "Aviation Classic", with musical accompanyment. I watched it today.

I guess it was enjoyable enough fare, with some classic movie themes, love interest, rivalry, companionship, comedy relief etc. 2 hours long though.

So that's what brought me to think about this series. I'm always happy to see anything with a WW1 avation theme, and like I said, I don't get too critical of it's historical accuracy, or the woeful special effects (especially due to its vintage).

I also saw "Aces High" yesterday, and enjoyed that. A good movie. "Dawn Patrol" later on this afternon (if they don't interrupt me with work).

Looking forward to watching this series.
