this movie was so depressing!!
I did not understand this film at first. When I saw that Franta and some other Czechs ended up in a prison camp I just assumed that they had been captured by the Nazis. I did not realize until halfway through that they were actually in a Czech prison. I was confused when I saw this because I just assumed they would be hailed as heroes. After all they were fighting the Nazis who invaded their country! It would've helped if they had given some more background about what happened after the war and why they treated the pilots this way. It is very depressing, because you know that even if they survive all the dangerous air battles they will just go home to torture and death in their own country. It made me really sad after watching this movie. Although I thought it was excellent especially the dialog and the air battles.
