Mr. Showbiz Movie Guide gives it a rating of 31/100.

REEL CITY at  http://www.reel.com/Content/moviepage.asp?mmid=9911  makes it sound like a different movie with this:        

Plot Summary: The famous French flying legion, manned by American volunteers, fights in the skies over Europe during WWII. Their leader romances a prostitute with a heart of gold.       

They want $12.99 for the video.

And finally (for the movie) one of those on the Nieuportbuilder's List did purchase the video and reviewed it for Amazon.com. Here is his review:

From: Norm Labhart <njlabhart@kih.net> To: Nieuportbuilders.

Hi, Squadron, I found a video tape from Amazon.com called Lafayette Escadrille. Only 12 bucks, so I bought it. I just reviewed it for Amazon. Here is what I submitted from Kentucky, USA, August 27, 1998:

American Movie Classic type movie, not an airplane movie. This video was interesting in a couple of areas. It has early appearances from Clint Eastwood, Tom Laughlin (Billy Jack) and David Janssen. Some of the early training flights are interesting in their realism. But it is not a movie for airplane buffs. Or WW1 historians. Or war movie fans. It is a love story based on a young American boy, who makes some mistakes, fights with his father, and runs off to join the war. While there, he falls in love, makes more mistakes, grows up, repents, etc.... everyone lives happily ever after. American Movie Classic buffs will enjoy it (once). Airplane buffs will hate it (wrong airplanes). WW 1 buffs will hate it (no history here, except opening credits). War movie buffs will hate it (they call that a battle scene?) Two stars is all I can give.
