Flyboys (2006)

David Ellison

David Ellison launches his acting career with his feature film debut in MGM's FLYBOYS, Academy-Award winner Tony Bill and producer Dean Devlin's World War I tale of the legendary and heroic Lafayette Escadrille; the first American air-squadron that fought for the French a year before the United States entered the war. Ellison plays Eddie Beagle, an eager young man whose past is mysterious to his co-pilots and superior officers; but when one of his co-pilots grows suspicious that Beagle might be a spy for the Germans, he must face the grueling decision of telling his comrades the truth or be charged of treason.

A real-life aviator and aerobatic pilot, Ellison began flying when he was 13 years-old and performs for thousands at air-shows around the world. In 2003 Ellison was chosen as one of the "Stars of Tomorrow," six of the best aerobatic pilots in the country who displayed their ability to loop, roll, tumble, and free-fall at Wisconsin's Oshkosh air-show. In competition, Ellison flies a French CAP 232, the world's premiere aerobatic aircraft and the plane of choice for the world's best aerobatic pilots.

Ellison is currently in development on several feature projects as a producer, including another film with Devlin that the two will spearhead together.
