Really bad film...

[USS Wyoming]

I saw Fly Boys at the theatre when it came out an only enjoyed the CG flying scenes, which I thought were just fun. I thought it was another missed opportunity to show military history with any kind of decent storyline (no, that wasn't decent) to show the audience what the early flying corp was like. How they trained and how they survived, not so much how they died.

I hope to be posting some actual photos taken during WW1 by a friends great grandfather who was an aerial photographer in the Allied Air corps. Some amazing original photos from the air and ground in 1918. I was just giddy actually holding them tonight and giving them a quick look. They were just fantastic and I hope I can share some of the best ones with the Blitz. Don't know when.
