Description

Here he is, as the movie starts out as "Friend & Foe." Him and his friends commandeer a couple of their airplanes and risk their lives and careers as the best airmen to go pay their respects to a fellow enemy fighter pilot who many knew by different schools or flying schools and respected each even though they found each other on opposite sides of the conflict. This tragedy and fact of life represents many wars and people who found themselves fighting each other even if they grew up as neighbors. This is the true reality of War and hate, that pulls everyone into an ugly situation of hell. It's rare and yet legendary when someone on the opposite side crosses the battle field to go help or say hello to the other in some type of suicide or crazy way and disregards the very fact that he can be killed in a second for his foolishness and bravery. But what happens sometimes, your enemy instead of killing you stops and admires him for is pure bravado and cockiness, whatever you want to call it, and he slowly becomes a Great Legend and lives forever in infamy.
