WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesAccording to Tab Hunter in his memoirs, "Tab Hunter Confidential", William A. Wellman was furious because, on the set, Warner Brothers replaced a coffee man, who gave coffee to the crew, with an automatic machine where everyone had to pay, so Wellman grabbed the machine, threw it on the floor and brought it brutally to the street. The coffee man came back.
- PatzerAviators in World War I generally didn't wear the high-collar tunics like the one worn by Thad. This is because they needed to be able to turn their heads while flying. Rather, they wore a uniform coat that required a shirt and tie.

Narrator: A half-forgotten corner of France in a wholly-forgotten war. In memory of the heroes of the Lafayette Escadrille, who died in defense of life and of liberty. This monument, this patch of foreign sky, belongs to a handful of Americans who flew for France and died for France in the First World War. They came with an air of adventure or a sense of impatience in the days before America entered the war. The wore French uniforms, they fought in French planes, and they fell in love with French women. These weren't just names in 1917; they were headlines. But this story is about a man whose name isn't carved in stone with the other young men of that old war. He ran away to war for reasons of his own. His name is Thad Walker.
