First let me say that I really liked the film. Splendid acting, and a ghost story as good as this one is very rare.
It's interesting to note that when a movie is done as well as this one, it is perfectly possible to suspend belief and accept things like an aircraft that has been submerged in water for over sixty some years could be repaired and flown within a matter of days.
And I did learn something from the movie - that the plane that Nungesser and Coli flew was a classic Stearman Model 75. How they ever stuffed enough fuel into that one to get across the Atlantic is quite beyond me.
This is a problem with being an aviation buff. I always pick up on stuff like this.
CGI would have helped a lot here. But it was still a great movie, anyway!
