I was a bit bothered by that scene with the Black Falcon gunning down buddy on the ground as well, though im going to reserve judgement on it as I'm not sure how much it actually happened back then. It did remind me though of the scene from U-571 where the german sub commander guns down the lifeboat full of brit ship survivors, even though I believe there was only 1 documented case of that happening during the entire second world war. Back to Flyboys though, at least they acknowledged that it wasnt a regualar occurrence with german flyers by showing the pilot of the crossed swords tripe showing his disgust/disapointment to the Falcon
