  • I think pilot in WW1 was skillful than now a day...

  • By sparing Udet it ironically proved to help the allies in the second World War as he was terrible inside the 3rd Reich... and later ended up shooting himself.

  • In this rocks and pistols were your freind lol

  • Tako hejmo biti ljudi peraje sad imam I imam ove rogulje :)

  • lol..i like how they glorify/Heroify the pilots..

    ** its French ace of aces , George Ginameir ** (epic background music)

  • you know what i hate about the history is that there isnt alot of this tv series

  • What a lot of people don't really realize is that WWI dogfights are far more brutal and bloody than one can imagine. Since there's no such thing as armor back then, bullets that hit the plane will often hit and kill the pilot as well. Also, planes back then were made of wood and canvas, they are literally flying fire hazards, and downed pilots tended to be immolated alive before they even hit the ground.

    Nowadays, we at least have ejection seats, armor plating, and computerized fire safety.

  • I'm in the cockpit? Apparently this is a sophisticated Virtual reality WW1 fighter plane simulation, cleverly disguised as a cheap history channel show.
