In the twelfth film in the series, in 1917, Indiana Jones transfers from the Belgian army to the French intelligence service, where his first assignment is as a reconnaissance photographer for the 124th Squadron, a group of volunteer American pilots in the French army. When his plane is shot down, Indy encounters the infamous "Red Baron," Manfred von Richthofen. After a daring escape, Indy is parachuted back into Germany on a mission to convince aircraft designer Anthony Fokker to defect to France, and he discovers a new German superweapon - a new airplane intended to bring the war overseas.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
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.
