0:26 to 0:33. I think that's the same way Max Immelmann died (one of Germany's top WWI aces) over France. He flew his Fokker E.III (Eindecker) when his interupter gear (synchronizer) failed and he shot out his prop, sending him plumeting to the ground. Too bad the Eindecker didn't have the armored propeller blades that Roland Garros (the first person to shoot down a plane in WWI) had in his armed Morane-Saulnier L (usually a recon plane).
We also have the space program to credit for a lot of the things we have today. Well, we HAD a space program. I guess the only thing we are interested in inventing today are better ways of seeing through people's clothes.
@JohnMeteor you do realize, the only reason, america was so eager to have a space program was the never ending conquest of gaining superiority in air and space, right?
if there wasn't a military need for sattelites, rocketpowered aircraft and space-based weaponry, NASA would've never get such fundings in the first place
it was only a matter of time after the fall of the USSR that the USA would give up on that expensive adventure
You're right. The ONLY reason for the Apollo Moon Program was to set up Moon bases for the military. That was all ended with the signing of the "Outer Space Treaty" in 1967. Since the moon program was already underway they did go through with it -- mostly just to show off. And since there can be no military on the moon - we NEVER WENT BACK.
That is also why all attempts to return are CANCELLED.
Richard Brenson ??? -- Do you mean Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Records, Virgin Mobile & Virgin Airways (and now Virgin Galactic)?
If you DID mean Brenson instead of Branson - who is Brenson? Also did you mean to say "Richard Brenson already HEARD that" or did you mean to say "Richard Brenson already SAID that"?
It is news to me in any case, as I never heard anyone claim the treaty was the reason for not going back to the Moon - I thought that was my own conclusion.
he was shot by a single bullet and died on the ground after he landed his plane. probably walt wanted it to be shown that way because baron was german.
@SSTTEEAALLTTHH. The Red Baron flew an all red Albatross (the biplane in the cartoon) when he was shot down with a bullet to the scalp the first time. After he recovered he got his new Fokker Dr.1 Triplane. He really became an "ace" on the Albatross.
@SSTTEEAALLTTHH Yes he flew a Fokker Dr. I triplane (a replica of the the British Sopwith Triplane) in "blood" red color. He was shot through the heart and lungs by either Captain Roy Brown (credited by the Royal Air Force), Cedric Popkin (AA Gunner), or Snowy Evans (gunner)
6:40 what is the name of the place where they used all those bombs? It sounds like "pimone"

shows again: war is the father of all things
kinda ironic how these short periods of violence and cruelty lead to the comfortability and increased life-quality we know today

The Red Baron flew a triplane when he was shot. This guy flies a biplane, so i don't think it's him or at least not a very accurate representation.
