The part that made me crack up. At about 1:14 biplane on fire, pilot looks back, other pilot gives nod
like permission to bail.

Curtiss Hawk IIIs vs Ki-27s... The Hawks would easily out-turn the Nates, which forced the Japanese to adopt hit and run tactics with their faster Ki-27s, not unlike those used by the AVG fighting the Ki-27s in Tomahawks and few years later.

It's a rather poorly made film, but what other films depict the war between China and Japan? The Chinese were poorly equipped and often poorly led, but they didn't lack for courage.
My regards,

Different culture and a movie company with a very low budget. It wasn't that bad, it reminded me of the old air combat movies like God is my Copilot and Flying Tigers. You had to settle for models instead of computer graphics. Personally I thought it was interesting to get a Chinese take on the war. :aok

Reminded me more of the first Buck Rogers movie serials.

BTW The movie Flying Tigers with John Wayne also had another actor John Carroll (he was the new cocky pilot). He was a good friend of our Dad's. We actually stayed with him and his family in our travels.

He also played Zoro in the movies.

That's cool Shuffler. :aok I know the guy you are refering to.

 My wife's father was good friends with Dan Blocker or Hoss from Bonanza. They grew up together and my wife remembers him visiting their home when he was in town.


 She has also met his son Dirk from Baa Baa Blacksheep fame.

I don't know how you can hate on that.  I think it's awesome.  Much better graphics than AH too...
