Trivia

In some scenes, George Peppard was actually flying his plane!

Technical advice for the film was provided by a group of WW1 plane buffs from Los Angeles.

On a blackboard in Kettering's office in the film you can see the squadron's name and number, Jasta 11. This was actually the name and number of Von Richtofen's Circus.
