The recent German film, The Red Baron, is finally available in the US on DVD. It is also available streaming on Netflix. I had been awaiting this movie for awhile. The air combat scenes were amazing :). It is an idealized, mythic vision of WWI. But, it was such an epic spectacle to behold. I had never seen so many plan...es in the sky, even if they are just CGI :). The actual story dragged on quite a bit, and from what I've read, is full of historical inaccuracies. Also, it may feel uncomfortable to have the Germans as the hero protagonists :(. But, there is an apologetic message in the film. Overall, I recommend it for the air combat scenes alone :). For a US/French view of WWI air combat, I also recommend the film, Flyboys.
