@@cyrillecollette5142 Actually not. The other pilots in Richtofen's Jasta used some red here and there on their planes, but none were solid red except his.
It's good but you have to take it with a grain of salt if you judge it on historical accuracy. Not not sure how to explain it, it's a really good story but don't look at as a documentary.
God, where the hell do I start...we're gonna ignore the chronic Fokker problem and instead point out they'd be going right past this Zeppelin at their cruising speeds. Now onto the Zeppelin. The L-32 not only never made attacks over the Western front, but on Paris? Ha! I've never heard of airship attacks on Paris, because they *did not happen.* The L-32 was flown by the Kaiserliche *Marine* in maritime missions, and shot down and torpedoed by naval ships in 1916, before this movie even starts. Let's talk about that little stunt with the landing gear and the Nieuports in general shall we? The Nieuport 17 still couldn't match up to a Fokker Dreidecker despite this movie constantly insisting on it. Dropping the throttle back that fast to pull that little wing smashing trick was impossible as your ass end would drop out from under you and you would start dropping like a rock, let alone tearing off your own wheels and prop and dragging you in as soon as you hit the other plane. The chances of a Nieuport 17 igniting the hydrogen of a dirigible were very slim to impossible. This movie is tripe.
It wasn't easy taking down a Zeppelin even with incendiary rounds the Zeppelins did not catch fire they found the problem was the Hydrogen had to have a certain amount of oxygen mixed in, just like gasoline the fumes (gas and oxygen) are highly combustible. The solution they peppered the Zeppelins with standard rounds 1st causing leaks in the containers than hit them with incendiary rounds. This was only possible later in the war with the latest planes which had a much higher ceiling. Also the containers being made from cows intestines where very easy to patch

@@Agent_3141 At the start of it, most pilots didn't even carry guns. Some just threw rocks, bricks, and then started carrying pistols and when observers came about, they carried rifles.
It's just a movie in real life there was only one red plane and that was Manfred von Richthofen all of his Pilots a different colored aircraft that is why it was called The Flying Circus
Wrong, but thanks for playing There were quite a few aircraft with primarily red liveries, however never this many in the same fight. Yet another testament to how horrid this movie is.
@@Warpig933Yes, the real Black Baron was in WW2 on a Panzer Tiger, and his name was Michael Witman, little more than a child at the time in which this film is set 😅
@andromedarr nein 1917 gab es noch kein helium das wurde erst in den 30er endeckt und nur die usa hatte es darum hatte die hinden burg noch wasserstoff
Nah dude they were just used as bombers and recon vehicles. Besides having very long range and the ability to stay in one place for a long period of time they weren't very effective. The biggest thing they did was they had the range to bomb London but they didn't do much real damage.
The advantage of the airship was that it could fly much higher than the fighters of the day - so the dozens of clones of the Red Baron in the escort fighters were not needed, nor could they match the altitude anyway - did Germany have cloning technology then? But then again. not much of this movie makes sense. it's a cruel world.
Besonders witzig ist die Tatsache, dass der Film 1916 spielt, aber die Fokker Dr.1 erst Mitte 1917 rauskam. Naja, dafür war´s ein netter Film während des Flugs in die USA damals ;) .
Rubin308 he's the only one with a red plane, the fokker dr1 was created in the end of thd year 1917 and when the movie start it says 1916 so this is a mierda

There's a lot of Red Barons.
yeah it’s unrealistic
They did it because in real like the plane colors or the French and the Germans were semi identical, so when the dogfight ensued you could easily tell who was the good and the bad.
They used decoys to trick the enemy into thinking that it was Thea baron
It's actually not true but it's an illusion
There was a unit jasta 11 that was all red which was the Red Baron’s unit they started off with a bunch of different colors then went all red later on
"The Valiant 38", Rawlings inspiration was Frank Luke from Texas and the Boxer Eugene Jacques Bullard, an American volunteer in the French army, became the first African American military pilot and one of only a few blacks pilot in World War I.
Not every German plane was a red Fokker Dr1. Most were Albatros DIII's or V's. By late 1917, the Fokker DVII was the main front line aircraft.
And sadly the DVIII never saw substantial use. Weird little plane, parasol wings are nice though. Though I do like the DVII and Albatros models a lot...

I agree with most here that is unrealistic, typically american.
But still I'd like to thank the poster for putting this up here! It is fun to watch :D
Gotta love those neverending machine guns.
why the hell are there more than 1 red barons??? there was only 1 red fokker dr1 during ww1 which was manfred von richtofen (red baron) .
Its a movie its like for dunkirk its just to recognize them better
AAAANNNNNDDDD Tri Planes were more Maneuverable but Slower than Bi Planes.
Actually they were the red circus, the squadron of Manfred which took the same colours as their leader
Then more of them were invented
@@cyrillecollette5142 Actually not. The other pilots in Richtofen's Jasta used some red here and there on their planes, but none were solid red except his.
Why are ALL of the Fokker DR1s bright red like Richtofen's?
Authors of the movie did this so the viewers could identificate them as enemy planes.
@@Technocratos90 couldn't they make them a different color like... Yellow...brown?
I'm thinking that Zeppelins top gunner should have had a parachute and ran perpendicular.
Is this movie any good? The cinematography looks amazing.
It's good but you have to take it with a grain of salt if you judge it on historical accuracy. Not not sure how to explain it, it's a really good story but don't look at as a documentary.

nieuport 17 was superior to fokker triplane
and also the wings are made of fabric with balsa wood frame
or pine wood, any lighter wood material is weak
