A very interesting story about a combination of a pilot/peddler! As usual Robert Redford was great as Waldo Pepper ! A couple of biplane pilots who fought during the WWI came back from the battle field and started working on taking people on rides and trying to see who was the greatest among them. The interesting thing was that in those days they did not have license. Shocker! When they all got into trouble for excessive stunts and the death of a young woman, they went to Hollywood, to be stunt men. My favorite scenes: Pilot destroying the platform; the plane going through the barn; Waldo Pepper walking on the wing of a flying plane, the pilot taking the plane down a city street.
I am afraid of heights and the palms of my hands were sweating throughout the entire movie.
