This is the movie that Howard Hughes was making in the beginning of "The Aviator". Out of curiosity from the things that were shown in that film, I got "Hell's Angels" from Netflix.
As a war drama, it's okay. I found several comparisons with "All Quiet On the Western Front". But as a flying movie, it's SPECTACULAR. For being made in the late 1920's, and released in 1930, I was AMAZED at the flying cinematography. Wonderful! I can't believe Hughes attemped, much less accomplished, some of the shots in the film. This is something that every aviation enthusiast should see. :4: out of :5:
