What's left behind the scenes
- The squadron was named in honor of Marquis de Lafayette.
- The character of Eugene Skinner (Abdul Salem) was based on Eugène Bullard, whose biography only partially corresponds to what is shown in the film.
- The RMS Aquitania, on which Briggs Laurie arrives in Europe from New York, was converted into an armed merchant cruiser at the very beginning of the war, and then into a transport ship, and was no longer used as a passenger liner.
- The actual mascots of the Lafayette Escadrille were a pair of lion cubs. One of them was named Whiskey (as shown in the film), and the other was named Soda.
- In preparation for filming, James Franco obtained a pilot's license.
- Everyone refused to finance the project, so a group of filmmakers and investors, including producer Dean Devlin and David Ellison, son of Oracle Corp. founder Larry Ellison, invested over $60 million of their own money in the film's creation.
- Models of French 'Nieuport' fighters were filmed on the ground, while the 'Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter' biplane actually flew. In the best Hollywood tradition, its paint scheme was simply changed as needed, as it depicted several aircraft at once.
