So many Iced Earth fans i know have said this album is only worth it for the gettysburg trilogy, which is just amazing, but this, declaration day, attila, greeface are all fucking awesome, im gunna order it now :P
Makes me wonder. If the Red Baron was alive today, what plane would he be flying? Assuming he had his choice and he wasn't lumped up with a Eurofighter Typhoon as part of the German Luftwaffe.
Great video, great song. Check out my own "Red Baron" song on the BicyclingGuitarist channel here on YouTube. The lyrics and images are historically accurate, and the song rocks although it is not as metal as this song. I wrote it on a bicycle (not kidding about that!)
I have to say...i find WWI and WWII dog fights alot more interesting than modern day dog fights. Those men that flew those marvellous planes (and tri-planes :P) were brave men staring death in its face. The dogs fights of these eras were complex, with countless aircrafting battling it out in a "snowball" (correct me if i'm wrong). It took alot to line up a good shot without being shot. Now, modern dogfights, victory is a mere button away... no fun in that...
@AllenQuackenstein WWII was also interesting, but the WWI guys were the pioneers! Stil, alot credit is due to great aces like Erich Hartmann, Gunther Rall, Hans Marseille, and so on...

The movie is Flyboys and have nothing to do with the red baron.
and to hombra61, the planes of WW1 actually where able of those stunts however this movie is fiction, the aeral combats in it did not happen irl.
and to YojimBoHugabaJoe, it wasnt a rifleman but an anti air machine gun that hit him in the side however the man did not get any credit for it as a pilot named "Roy Brown" (also appearing in "The Red Baron" movie took all the credit because he was hunting the red baron
i mentioned Flyboys in my description, and in the vid cedits! And the last half of the vid's footage is from the 2008 movie Red Baron which i also cedited. Does anybody READ the description or check the credits before commenting about Flyboys?
I'd follow up on that research if I was you. While you are certainly correct that a riflemen won't get the credit (bi-planes of this era could fly full of holes) it is not a solid fact yet who gets the credit- A.Roy Brown or Sergeant Cedric Popkin of the Australian 24th Machine Gun Company.
to my statement about who killed who, just so we are not confused there is a huge difference between the handheld assault rifle and the AA machine gun (something to the tune of about 150 lbs)
@Cptlegend2 I know I am way late into this, and while I agree with you as to how he was finally shot down, his demise was never confirmed. I agree with you that he was shot by anti aircraft artillery, but there is equally compelling evidence that he was hit by a rifleman from the ground, or that he was hit by an enemy aircraft while in a dive chasing a target of his own. It's one of those questions that history may never answer.
Regardless, he's still the most famous pilot ever.
These and more actually. Camels and the Fokker series of tri-planes were much smaller planes than the modern fighter. And far less stable (strongly desired for maneuverability ) these planes were capable of mind boggling combat maneuvers that would send a modern pilot screaming into the ground
You know, I've always wondered, what really was it that defeated the Red Baron? A shot from the ground like in this song, or did someone finally beat him in piloting?
also possibly a rifleman believe it or not.There was supposidly quite a few comfirmed plane kills by rifle men in ww1,even in ww2 there confirmed reports of squads of riflemen with enfields taking out planes
It is most likely that guns on the ground got MvR, and it he beat him self piloting by breaking his own rules by flying so low over enemy held ground with no good escape.
Yes i know. i mentioned it in my vid's credits as well as posted it in my comment box. i also used footage from The RED BARON (2008) film which is also credited.
Nice work dude. Have you watched the red baron film? I watched around a hour of it and it was real lame, all the planes crash and land in the ground at exactly the same angle lmfao
