If you are looking for historical accuracy and realistic flying sequences this is not for you.
However as escapism masquerading as a history lesson then this is a very watchable movie.
The best way to enjoy this film is to revert to a prepubescent mind set ignore the (thankfully few) gooey human interest bits and let yourself go for a rip rawing seat of the pants Biggelesesk yarn.

I watched Flyboys last night and I must say I am amazed. I agree with the last viewer that it is under-rated, as I think the story line boosts the ratings significantly.
I agree with another viewer however that this film is not completely factual, but it is definitely worth watching for those for those who aren't using the film for a history purpose.
Its a decent film, and definitely worth watching for yourself. I have rated this film on 4 and not 5 star because the use of effects on this film aren't 'superb' and not too realistic compared to some other war films. However, don't let that put you off, it is a highly entertaining film.
