this be a very technically good film and with interesting casting and scripting and but it be far from the truth historically . be from the milwaukee wisconsin area and i do some research into the history of this man and and find it very different from the hollywood depiction . the general insubordination be more about his arrogance and ego than any care about the future . he be a spoiled rich brat who always have thing his way . the change that come in aviation would have come without his infamous courtroom case . he be the exact opposite of the gary cooper portrayal and be short and angry in nature . he sacrifice his military career because he care so much about the flier . questionable at best . this rich kid be tire of play soldier and so go on a public opinion campaign and that be somewhat successful in give him a role in the history of aviation . he be very effective at alienate everyone around him . there be numerous history of this man and polarize either in the he be a visionary versus a pompous self righteous jerk and all make good reading .
