The best film I've seen of WW1 aerial footage was from a Hollywood film:
Wings (1927) - IMDb
Apparently the actors were taught to fly and did most of the flying.
Although it's in black and white, when planes are going down pretty realistic flame in colour has been added.
I borrowed it from Love Film but also Cinema Paradiso has it.
The story is not bad either and it features a young Gary Cooper and Clara Bow.
