Details

Working with the French Secret Service, Indy joins the legendary Lafayette Escadrille flying unit and embarks on dangerous airborne reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines. A run-in with German Ace Manfred von Richthofen leads to a death-defying dogfight that leaves Indy grounded and hot-in-pursuit of German aircraft designer Anthony Fokker. Undercover in hostile enemy territory, Indy discovers that the Germans possess a remarkable secret weapon that could change the course of the war and he resolves to bring news of it back to the Allies...if he doesn't destroy it first.

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Shawn Watson Looks like Young Indy beat the Ben Stiller movie to the joke.Directed by Ben Burtt, who won an Academy Award for his sound editing on The Last Crusade (and who is also the voice of Wall-E), this entry is a little more cohesive than previous Young Indy features and contains more adventure.Indy and Remy transfer themselves out of the Belgian Army in with the French where they are split up. Remy is sent away as a spy and Indy a reconnaissance photographer. Many dogfights and scenes with crashing aircraft follow. The Red Baron (Marc Warren, looking like Neil Patrick Harris' twin brother) shows up and involves himself in a fictional vendetta with Indy. It never really gets boring and avoids the history lessons that have bogged down some of the others. Enough new locations, plot developments and characters prevent this from happening, but sometimes I have a hard time following which people were real and which people are just made up to advance the story.One of the better Young Indy adventures.
Alain English After his encounter with Albert Schweitzer on the shores of the Congo river, Indiana Jones (Sean Patrick Flannery) decides to dedicate himself to ending the war any way he can. To this end, he enlists in the French Intelligence Services. On his first mission, he is caught in a series of aerial duels between fighter pilots Charles Nungesser and Baron Manfred von Richthofen. Later he tries to persuade genius engineer Anthony Fokker to defect from the Germans to the Allies...The first segment with the fighter pilots is easily the most exciting, with some spectacular flying action sequences. The production values of this series have never been better displayed. The second segment ends in a fight in a plane factory, but has an excellent, thought-provoking scene between Indy and an apathetic Anthony Fokker, well played by Craig Kelly. Stephen Toomey is delightfully charming as the dashing Nungesser and look out for a young Marc Warren as the deadly 'Red Baron' von Richthofen.Stirring historical drama, a good change of direction from previous episodes and one of the series' best.
Jawsphobia First off, sound man Ben Burtt proves he can direct here. Attack of the Hawkmen is one of the most fun Young Indy episodes. As a bonus, if you are a Lucas fan, you may spot Threepio Anthony Daniels with a French accent in one scene, as Francois, where Indy is briefed in a big hurry by a couple of scientist types. I am surprised his credit is not more prominently featured here on the net. You have to click MORE to get the full credit list. It's just a cameo, but refreshing for those of us baffled how Star Wars actors can be so seldom used.
Jarek-6 I didn't even get to see all of this movie, but I saw most of it. The movie was all right. Young Indy had to venture into Germany and deliver some paper to a German industrialist. It's not a bad story, but the ending was a little inconclusive. Still, I'd give it about a 6//10.
