Spending all day at home on a work day recovering from bacterial tonsillitis is not really that much fun because the medication makes you all woozy and daytime TV makes you want to throw up. And yet somehow, I ended up watching the rather entertaining Flyboys from start to finish on HBO.
The story is revolves around the enlistment, training and aerial fighting of the volunteer American pilots who served in the Lafayette Escadrille during World War I. The movie is a little long and the effects are not the best but the aerial combat scenes are great. This flick would make a good addition to any war movie buff’s DVD collection.
