Yes.
Eugene Bullard was an American who stowed away on a ship and went to Ireland. He boxed for awhile before going to France and joining the French army. Later he was able to transfer to the Air Force. Other Americans went to France to fly airplanes. They were formed into a squadron that was called the Lafayetter Escadrille (or squadron). His story and photo are on the website for the US Air Force Museum.
Interesting that he was one of only a few Americans who flew a fighter aircraft in combat and not many people know about him or that he was black. Too bad the movie "Flyboys" did use his real name.

Yes. An unusually historically accurate movie, with great attention to those types of details. The uniforms may have looked a little better in the movie. The real soldiers had been serving for several months in the blistering, sweltering heat of coastal Carolina, so they were likely a little more faded and torn.
No, the movie was not an accurate portrayal of the events that happened in Gallipoli but rather a portrayal of the values and morals of the soldiers that fought in Gaillipoli.
The oldest movie theater in America is the Nickelodeon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It opened in 1905 and is historically significant because it was one of the first theaters in the country dedicated solely to showing movies. It played a key role in the early development of the film industry and the popularization of movies as a form of entertainment.

The play 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' is historically accurate, in the way that it is based on the comedies/farces of the ancient Roman playwright, Plautus.
