The film is set during WW1 and follows around the early inception of the US Air Force. The technology at the time to film a movie while flying is what fascinates me about this film. The film follows around Jack and David on their endeavor as pilots. At the time, flying was a dangerous yet adventurous act, let alone to film a movie while doing so. The scenes with the dogfights were my favorite parts of the movie and were probably some of the best re-enacted war scenes even comparable to today's films. As a history guru myself, I was surprised to see how accurate they were. The story line is portrayed intensely for a silent film. Wings is my favorite silent film so far.
