Overall what did you think? For a period piece it was mediocre ... I didn’t feel like I was there, but the storyline was decent.
Without giving away the ending, what was one of your favorite scenes? Definitely the dogfight scenes, and when “Ray Gun” triumphantly returns to the air base after being a POW.
On a scale of one to four stars, what would you rate this film? ★★
