John Phillip Law essays the title role of Manfred von Richthofen, an ace WW1 pilot that is at odds with both the enemy of the air and other german pilots who are envious of his accomplishments.
Don Stroud also stars as English pilot Roy Brown, the man who has vowed to kill Manfred.
The air battle scenes in this movie are amazing and Corman handles everything with the usual flair that made him a legend in the world of film.
The characters are all very believable and once the action starts it does not stop. This is one of Corman's films that for some reason isn't talked about much. It's a gem.
Others in the cast include Hurd Hatfield, Karen Ericson, Tom Adams, Corin Redgrave, Ferdy Mayne and Clint Kimbrough. I Highly Recommend this film, and if you get a chance to see it, check it out.
