  • A beautiful-looking film with good flying and nice airplanes but not historically accurate.

    Notes on errors in this clip:
    Brown's squadron was flying Sopwith Camels not the S.E.5a's seen in the film. Richthofen and Brown never engaged in a "dogfight". Richthofen had begun a chase after novice Canadian pilot Wilfrid May, who had earlier fired at and missed Richthofen's cousin Wolfram (another novice) in the air on this day. Seeing May in trouble, Brown dove after Richthofen, but he was still some distance back when he had the chance to open fire at Richthofen as the three planes headed towards the British lines at low altitude.
    Latest research appears to point to an Australian machine-gunner several hundred yards away and to the side of Richthofen's path of flight as being the one who fired the fatal shot.

    thanks.

    Good dogfight scene, but Brown's squadron flew Sopwith Camels, not SE5s as depicted here.

    Great scenes! However, it took more shots to down a plane back then, and engine explosions weren't actually that common. It was rare for anyone to down more than one or two planes in one flight as he would have ran out of ammo before then. Richthofen was also, as has been said before, shot down by ground-fire, though Brown did manage a few shots at him. Also, Richthofen wouldn't have made HALF the mistakes this movie portrays, especially the one at around 6:25.

    How come the model airplanes they used always get to the top of the loop and then blow up? It's so unrealistic!

    Wow, that had nothing to do with reality, did it! Absolutely laughable.

    How can he fly and land even when he is dead?

    Saw this movie years ago, it sucked in so many levels it's hard to describe. The book was pretty bad too.
    Can't wait to see the new Red Baron movie from Germany.

    Don't diss gunslinger too much he is actually right....the red baron was killed by ground fire but what use would that have been to the english propaganda machine...dont get mad at me either, we all have propaganda machines.
