a nicely paced romantic war story that should have get more exposure . the czech pilot who play piano give a mellow touch to the story . the fly footage may not have be enough for aviation buff like myself and but then again and this really isn not an action movie . though it do not have anything in common with the james salter novel the hunter that become the movie about korean war f86 sabre pilot and dark blue world have a similar feel but with more of a romantic element to it . well in some way than battle of britain in that it doesn not rely on big name actor . suggest view this movie with some czech beer and some czech dumpling call kneldniky ( sp ) .
