Iced Earth - Red Baron/Blue Max

Red Baron/Blue Max is my favourite song from the Iced Earth album The Glorious Burden. This video is comprised of footage taken (without permission) from two movies. The first is the 2006 flick Flyboys, and the 2nd being none other then the late 2008 German film The Red Baron. It took me awhile, but here it is at last. Hope you like it.



The son of a major, Prussian nobleman
His name bestowed by a holy Roman
The war broke out, so he looked to the air
24 hours of training and he was there

100 miles an hour
Top speed his plane would fly
And if he flew behind you
You know you're sure to die
80 kills that are confirmed
While other pilots had so much
More to learn

Chorus:
The red baron, blue max
The albatross flies high
The red baron, blue max
He's got you in his sights

The red battle flyer, red like fire
He sees no faces, he's the ace of aces

His British quarry flew a reckless flight
A shot from the ground took the red baron's life
He flew with honor, he flew with pride
In 1918 the battle flyer died

Chorus

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 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...

The one place you never wanted to see that man's plane.....within the airspace anywhere NEAR you.

@Volcanoran3

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.

@RaphKittyKat

Nobody ever reads the description. :)

Should have included footage from the movie Blue Max
