This is fabulous. My grandfather was an observer in the RE8, very similar to the BE2. Also attacked by a DR1. Crashed twice. Incredible. The combat report showed that with diving in a steep turn they managed to keep from being downed. Even after my grandad's lewis broke! The DR1 eventually gave up, dissuaded by aa fire.
Loved the video! I used to model WW1 airplanes years ago so those planes are old friends! Next time, how about putting the Triplane up against a Bristol or a DH-4 for a fair fight? The Red Baron once said don't underestimate that rear gunner if he knows his trade!
Fantastic , I visit the old rhinebeck aerodrome in the US one day and it was one of the most fun moment I have experienced ! Great to see and keep it in the air.
in case you haven't, you should check out colorized footage going as far back as the 19th century. strange how just some color can make those images so much more relatable.
🫡🍑 Amazing human history, I love to get a break down of the first brand model engines which ran the propeller on these, so cool.. ⚙ As I am watching the 2019 film 1917..

Love these Biplanes. Great video too. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not remotely jealous at all lol
I’m totally not jealous 😂
That was awesome! Kudos to Peter Jackson for a One of a kind collection.

Amazing collection of vintage planes. I love it.
I have a pretty cool 1/4 scale, 25 lb Fokker DVII RC model. Just sayin'.
Its really fabulous what Peter Jackson has done with this!
This is what those young pilots would have seen, we can forget that the world was not in grainy black and white in those days.

wow, war thunder graphics got a lot better!
Awesomesauce!!!
"Nah, just don't scream, that's all." :D
Dreidecker toying with that BE2 like a cat with a mouse…
What a happy amazing passenger
Great video in a top series! Nice, professional work too from Lisa and her team, I'm assuming she is leading this push as a producer?
My God - what a collection!
awesome video. huge fan of those beautiful planes and times.. flyboys of of my favorite movies...
A great-uncle served in the spruce squadrons on the Oregon coast logging the spruce groves to send the lumber to the WW1 aircraft factories.
Beautiful aircraft👍👍
Not sure a lumbering BE2 could 'dogfight.'..
Yes, that was pretty much an unfair match.
That said, it would be interesting to see a more equal one, say an SE-2 against the Fokker triplane.
"we would so be gone!" get on the lewis gun then
Too cool
That's not an FE2B!
Surely it's a BE2.
(Please correct me if I'm mistaken, or correct the titling.)
Belas imagens parabéns!
When you're in an Brisfit and having trouble outdistancing a Dr.I, you need to put your foot down.
Y’all got Kiwi Tom Cruise maverickin around down there.
Ahhh yes, the f*kker triplane, red baron even flew that
Waldo P. Barnstormer strikes again!!!!!
How about to renounce to the modern day technologies and embrace back these easy things.
TAILS❤❤❤
“ Why would they wear these jackets? “ she asks
Ah, the video that was actually destined to appear in 1915 as the battle raged in europe!
Is that a Laco Flieger the pilot is wearing?
Bad position for the Lewis gun in the forward cockpit
3.28 speed and drop the throttle dip left and forward into a bank and crank throttle. a left hand quicky
4 blades prop?
Pls watch the Oh my Gods. Thanks!
Woo hooo!
Theres that German marked plane.
She didnt act like she died in a crash there did she?
0.56 get on the fake Luftwaffe watch.
I can stand a [citizen] even when theyre marketed alongside/with any nation.
Wearing a Kevlar helmet with comms... and you're calling out his watch..?
He sounds like an Aussie or Kiwi, but she is English. Is this in NZ?
Yes.
