Der rote Baron

[tingmarc]

Manfred von Richthofen und seine Kammeraden waren der absolute Hammer!

[sgollaog]

what song is that?

[tingmarc]

geiles Video. Danke fürs Hochladen.

[klinkthud]

Look up fokker turn if you doubt how quickly those Fokkers could turn - a flat turn at those slow speeds... Werner Voss had an amazing last dogfight before he was killed while engaging 6 SE5a's - tribute to the ablilites of these top aces to harness the instability of their rotary engine while using the attributes of the Fokker designs

0:05 the first airplane is from Hitler

[aodh291]

Yeah he used the triplane like for i want to say the last 20-30 kills.....is that about right?

[rockersrac1993]

What's the song??

[charvelguy]

@rockersrac1993

Rage - Dies Irae

[Morgteck]

Richthofen flew a number of different aircraft during his career. The plane he flew for most of his victories was the Albatros in various versions, and that is the biplane you see him flying during much of the film. The more famous Fokker triplane didn't even exist until later in the war. The last fighters Richthofen flew were the Fokker triplane, and he got his last few victories in that plane. Just because "everyone knows" something, does not mean it's necessarily right. ;-)

[Basilisk195]

Historic fact is that Manfred von Richthofen in 1916 starts to fly as fighter pilot with Albatros D.II without colourful painting, later he changed to the more modern Albatros D.III of which he had one in overall red as well as Albatros D.V - also one in overall red - and finally he used up to 5 various Fokker Dr.I triplanes with partial red and overall red colouring. The bestknown of these triplanes is of course the also overall red 425/17 in which he was shot down.

[finnspotter]

Nice job. You can watch my version of music video I did after watching the movie. Search for key words 'finnspotter Dem "Roten Baron" gewidmet'.

[nynaiqmal]

if only ace of aces is this intense...... :D

[BicyclingGuitarist]

The movie is riddled with historical inaccuracies, especially concerning Roy Brown. Manfred von Richthofen was an amazing personality. I don't think this movie even comes close to doing him justice. Check out my Red Baron song on the "Bicycling Guitarist" channel here on YouTube. The lyrics and images are historically accurate and the song rocks. I wrote it on a bicycle (not kidding about that!)

[jerrymail]

During the "Bloody April" in 1917, Jagdstaffel 11 was equiped with Albatros D.III aircraft. The movie is right. Richtofen didn't spent his entire career on a Fokker DR.I Triplane!

[bartonmaru]

Gobbble, gobbble, gobble

[Tykke0]

i own the red barron movie. its really good

[Paintballemo]

the movie's totally wrong! ev'rybody knows that Manfred von Richthofen's plane had three wings, and the planes from ww1, were too heavy to steer them so fast, and such a fast barrel roll, definetly not

Although epic video

[newsupersammyspider]

umm, ww1 planes could do that and also, The red barons first plane was a albatross d111, It was a bi plane, he did not always have the triplane.

[newsupersammyspider]

The movie is also totally RIGHT! ww1 planes could do moves like that, depending on how it was built, and the red baron did not always have the triplane, He did have a red biplane, Everybody knows that.

[daryandude]

Most of these moves could be done, but, I doubt the albatros has that good of a rate of role

[keisari11]

Barons plane was three wing only in late 1917 and early 1918 till death.

[c150ace]

In fact the baron rarely used the triplane.

[unionJackman1984]

good to see someone with a mind actually using it :) well said all the planes used in this movie were all fuel injected the old plains were carb systems meaning the planes could not perform such harsh moves without stalling there engines they had to take longer turns so the fuel would not be starved the me109 was the first fuel injected aircraft richtoven also had red hair the movie got that wrong to

[scylaros]

Carbs don't dissalow harsh manouvres - not on all axis anyway. They will only get starved of fuel on negative g manouvres. Even then, the sheer intertia of strait 6s is enough to keep the engine running till it gets straight again. So thats not true. The only limiting factor in that sort of rigs is the strength of the frame. Rotary engines are totally oblivious to this due to design anyway, so here you go.

@Paintballemo

He is famous for his Dreidecker 1 , but he flew most of his career in Albatros DIII , and he also flew in Albatros CIII , Fokker Eindecker , Albatros DII , and even tested Fokker DVII , but never had the opportunity to fly it , cause he died few days before it entered service . Those planes were extremely maneuverable , but not so fast .

[Basilisk195]

@Paintballemo Another fact ist that in WW 1 in Germany he never was called "Red Baron", but "Roter Kampfflieger" (= "red fighter pilot"). He also wasn't a Baron but a Freiherr (another low but comparable aristocratic title). His worldwide well-known name "Red Baron" he got in the 1920's from American comic draftsmen. This are some facts - all others is ficiton.

[Shafeone]

@Paintballemo He scored most of his victories in a BI PLANE Albatross. The last twenty in the Fokker Dri Triplane.

[Goodtime618]

@Paintballemo The Fokker DR1 was able to perform some things even modern planes can't do, e.g. doing a 180° turn without moving up, down or forward anymore

[thekill847]

@Paintballemo dude he hade a biplane before the triplane he had that came in to service 1917 noob

[JTelli786]

Epic!

[ElPiperone]

Very nice Video!

[dcelw540]

kool dude
