The part where the Bomber just crash instead of explode like in mostly Hollywood movies is absolutely Beautiful, cause adds Realism to the Movie
Well, it's a WWI bomber...
Just cardboard and wood, nothing that can cause a serious explosion.
Not mentioning the very low altitude....
@@panzerivausfg4062 exactly, but imagine that were a movie of Michael bay xd

Massive explosion obliterating half of the trenches in the vicinity intensified...
@@charles07km83 tactical nuke level explosion mid air followed by Armageddon asteroid blast during impact. 😅
@@panzerivausfg4062 also hit the nose not the engines or the fuel tank...
How a human being can train himself or be trained to fly something like that around in circles and loops and stalls and still maintain situational awareness and be able to effectively shoot down another such object is just insane. I understand today with computers and fly by wire systems but these guys had to have been the Red Bull Extreme Sport adrenaline junkies of their day.
I fly for years in realistic WW1 flight simulators like Rise of Flight and Flying circus, and I can tell you that yes, it is indeed difficult! With training, a lot becomes possible. But yes our ancestors were amazing;
1) spotting a plane by eye
2) recognizing which plane it was, knowing there were a lot of different types, each with its strength and weakness
3) putting themselves in a favourable position to engage, with planes that have nowhere near the power of later planes
4) once the dogfight has begun, not only fly a plane that can be quite troublesome to handle (amongst others the rotationnal forces of the planes with rotary engines), but to not lose the enemy out of sight despite the many wings blocking your sight and oil leaking on your glasses
5) doing all this with multiple opponents and allies swarming all around you.
not to mention the airframe was mostly made of wood and fabric supported by steel beams or even wooden ones for lightweight ,which makes it even more difficult to maneuver .
geniuses in the air

Richthofen wrote "I am in wretched spirits after every aerial combat. I believe that [the war] is not as the people at home imagine it, with a hurrah and a roar; it is very serious, very grim."

Love the lack of dialogue. No speaking, just action and soundtrack to complement it
I have never seen a piece of Cinematic Media show ww1 dogfights that Featured bombers, this was absolute eye candy
Flyboys
I don’t think it’s that good, too much reliance in CG, to much movement, it remember Michael Bay movies, and the acting is mostly awkward smirks, there’s no tension.
I like the subject, but this moves seems uninteresting.
I am using my moms phone for this but the red baron had 3 wings not 2.
He got most of his kills in a Albatros...@@tsevleeongio7341
Like the first guy said: Flyboys. Good movie
True story. An English airman had his leg blown off by an explosive bullet mid flight, he moved his leg out of the controls, tail gunner took down the other plane, landed wrote down the German positions then went to get medical treatment the amazing thing his the tail gunner had no idea of the injury till after the landing. Never mentioned his leg had been blown off 🤯
Yeah it's in simple history an ace with no Legs
@@jbarral6509 I wasn’t aware they did a video I read about it
The Germans loaded their aerial machine guns with explosive munitions, allowing them to inflict extra damage on machinery and determine distance - the bullets would automatically explode at a certain range. We Britons also used explosive munitions as well, but mainly against the Zeppelins/Airships, in conjunction with incendiary munitions.
@@autoiko4300 very true!
That English airman was Ferdinand Maurice Felix West, and the action for which he earned the Victoria Cross was on August 12, 1918. Fun fact: he lived to the age of 92 and was interviewed for a documentary called Cavalry of the Clouds, which you can find on RUclips.
1:06 Several years before Hermann Goering met a young politician named Adolph.
You know, even without meeting Der Fuhrer, Goering was a friend of the industrialists and military aristocracy. His family were already prominent military veterans, his father, for example, was the first governor-general of what is now Namibia. Through his familial connections, Goering was able to garner the support of the military - something the National Socialist needed in their rise to power. In fact, if history gone differently, either because Adolph became a painter or was assassinated, Goering would've been the best choice other than Rudolf Hess (Himmler was an imbecile and Goebbels, while fanatically loyal, was only a messenger, not a scheming politician).
@@autoiko4300 Can't say that I agree with your assessment much at all. Goebbels was actually a very cutthroat, scheming politician who knew how to play the game. He was an absolute cold-blooded murderer inside, but he knew how to wield the levers of power. Himmler was also no imbecile, he was the only one to create a fiefdom of power that in some ways created what was becoming an alternate source of power outside of Hitler. No I'm afraid the moron award goes to Goebbels. He was well-connected, as you mentioned, but was lazy, and in the end, was only concerned with propping up his own lavish lifestyle. He would have been the best choice for the allies, though, for sure!
Never heard of Adolph.🤣
@@thxanne Sorry, it was a misspell. The context is clear, however, no?
I didn’t see snoopy out there. Operations must have given him the day off.
I saw Hugo Stiglitz though.
Being American Snoopy didn't get into battle until mid July 1918, the war was mostly over by then.

He's flying too fast and he's flying too high!!

This is one of the best ww1 dogfight scenes I have ever seen, thanks' for uploading.
The fact that it's complete bullshit doesn't put you off?
“Complete” you say? How so?
@@UGNAvalon it's everything about it from the way aircraft move being wildly unrealistic, and the number of them in such a small space being stupid all the way to the fact that his ammunition drum keeps turning when he's not firing.
My Father-in-Law’s home in Ypres, Belgium was the home occupied by the Red Barron at the time he was shot down. He did return once he recovered. He was very Kind to the family and actually protected the family. My Father-in-law was the Belgium Consulate for Louisiana. His life story is incredible!
The german army entered Ypres on the 7th October 1914, by midday on the 8th of October they began to leave the town continuing the advance westwards, British and French forces attempting to halt the German advance occupied the town and moved on through it towards the east setting up a defensive line, ,
Ypres became a salient protruding into the german lines and suffered terrible damage, but was never occupied by german forces again and remained in allied hands until the armistice, the " red baron" certainly never had a house there, as he did not even transfer to the airforce until 1915
@@jeremyfoster6942 Thanks. All these annoying fake stories coming up on world war related videos...
@@jeremyfoster6942 This dude got a lot of up votes so it must be true right ? Nobody would lie or exaggerate on the internet would they ?
Glad you called him out. People always fall for good stories, especially people today who have almost no sense of history. Also the poster said his Father in law's house....how old would this guy be ? Probably very old, this would be 106-107 years ago ? And omg his father in law was either a baby and thus would have no idea what happened either. The story is BS or its badly flawed even if maybe he got the city wrong. It's still tough to swallow

First to the scene he is a letal machine
IS BLOODY APRIL AND THE TIDE IS TURNING
Fire at will, it is the thrill of the kill
FOUR IN A DAY SHOT DOWN WITH ENGINES BURNING
*FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL AND SILENCE, CAST THEIR SPELLS EXPLOSIVE VIOLENCE*
It’s really difficult with a handgun to shoot a moving human target that’s 10 yards away while you’re standing still, I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to shoot a moving vehicle while you yourself are in another moving vehicle
Until the advent of high-performance jet engines and countermeasures (i.e. flares and chaff), bombers needed machine gunners to protect them. One of the most important techniques every gunner needed to learn was leading their shots into their target (Americans like calling it Kentucky Windage). If you're in a leftward moving vehicle, you need to aim offset to the left; the bullets retain the same inertia as the vehicle itself, and hence will rapidly lose it upon leaving the muzzle. Subsequently, the bullets retain a curved trajectory. Think of like trying to throw a beer bottle at a stop sign in a moving car or throwing a water balloon at someone while on a high-speed moped.
Most films and videogames depict this technique incorrectly. Despite the inaccuracies that plague this movie, the aforementioned technique is surprisingly depicted correctly. The front gunner in this scene barely had enough compensation to lead his bullets into the German Albatross, but he managed to get him, nonetheless. And by 1916, bomber machine gunners, specifically us Britons, had tracer ammunition, usually a "tracer-AP-AP-AP-AP-tracer-AP-AP-AP-AP" pattern, which allowed us to see where our bullets were going. By contrast, the Germans had explosive bullets, both to disintegrate at a certain range or inflict extra damage, especially machinery, such as, fuel tanks.
1:34 bro got that side eye
that's john lennon my bro
@@catvader9830Hahaha
Great clip. CG is amazing. Thank you.
The good ol’ albatros… a lucky plane to be in… good memories
The Albatross had large wings to grant incredibly favourable turns and lift. It was not as fast as its contemporaries, such as the French Spads, but it can easily climb away from anyone; however, its large [thinly built] wings easily sheared at high speed. If a Frenchman can tempt a German into a dive, the Frenchman wins; however, if the Frenchman chases the German, the German wins - the German can easily climb and loop around or strafe him.
Excellent dogfighting. This movie’s audio quality is excellent too, it adds so much 👍
The audio? Every time those Albatrosses enter a dive they sound like Stukas 🤣
Albatros DIII & DV notorious for wings shedding in dive (like all V strutters) would not be able to follow the Camel. But then it is only a movie. At least the German planes were not all red DR1s as in many such films!
The albatros c no
Its obviously not 100% accurate but the dogfights are very very good. And theres actual variety in the planes instead of red DR Is like you mentioned.
What you say is true, but aren't you exagerating the expected result? You make it sound as if at soon as it dives, the Albie would lose its wing... As far as I know, the albie had this tendency of losing its wings in prolonged diving, so I guess speed will also play its part. Diving in a turnfight barely let's you reach high speed, so I think it would be safe most of the time. Imagine if all the Camel had to do was diving a tiny bit to lose its opponent....
@@Railriderchris That dive @ 2:23 was pretty steep and long.
The DV was also a pooch. It was heavy and somewhat sturdy with the plywood fuselage but that's about all it had going for it. And the Camel was a remarkably snappy airplane to fly-so much so it was dangerous to inexperienced pilots. It's inherent instability also made it a remarkable dogfighter (like the Fokker Triplane) and half the scenes depicted in this clip could've been over in an instant with the Camel simply pilot rolling away leaving the Albatros all alone.
You can only put young guys into these machines. Those that can’t understand the value of their life yet.
Was a fan of him 10 years ago
world war one was the best air fight. This screen film is the best I've seen for fun love of a flying Fokker. 💌 Happy Valentines Day
Amazing film 😊watched many times over
My great grandfather fought in WW1 as a Handley Page bomber pilot. He was shot down twice but never lost a crewmember as the enemy targeted the wings and engines in them. He never forgot that and after the war he spoke out against anti-German bigotry.
His flight (he had rank) was attacked by the "Flying Circus" (not one of the times he was shot down) at least once as his letters home say.
The name his letters called them translates to is "blade dancers" and compared to the skytrain he flew this must've seemed a reasonable description.
Ótimo filme!
At least they could have made it somewhat realistic. The G's they are putting on these paper airplanes would buckle a modern fighter jet.
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed
This video was difficult for me to watch. My Great Uncle was killed when the R.E.8 reconnaissance aircraft he was an observer in was shot down by a pilot of JASTA 11 during 'Bloody April' 1917. I can only imagine the horror he experienced in the last few seconds of his life. My other Great Uncle died from shrapnel wounds he received during the Battle of the Somme. Thank God my Grandfather survived the war else I wouldn't be here posting this.
I always wondered if the front gunner had straps or something holding him in. I couldn't do it.
You should look at how the observer in F.E.2b's were positioned. They were in the front seat in the nacelle. To fire backward they had to stand up to use the rear Lewis mount, often precariously over the lip of his cockpit. There were a few instances of them accidentally falling off out the machine when doing so.
Why this scene make WW1 looks chill for some reason
Red Baron: let’s have a good match everyone
British: cheers mate, you’re so good at this war
I get that movies need to up the drama, but the extremely-close-formation swarm flying shown in the beginning - nearly wingtip-to-wingtip with the next plane over - seems like suicide, considering the rather rudimentary flying machines we're talking about. Even in WWII, the tendency was more to space out than to bunch up like that: gives more room for maneuvering, etc.
I agree. Search up the Vic formation on Google. The germans called it the idiots formation. You can see an example if you look at a RUclips video called "Dunkirk first dogfight".
What I find the most disturbing about air combat during this period was that unlike balloonists, fighter pilots generally didn't carry parachutes so if the plane was crippled to the point where flight was impossible (like that one poor guy here who lost a part of his upper wing), that pilot was doomed and there was little if anything he could do to save himself.
He just had to ride that crippled bird all the way down to the ground floor.
He had the option of a pistol.....
Watch at .0m75 speed , more realistic .
Top short Movie
Those valve rockers ...
JJ video topic suggestion: syncing of propeller blades and machine guns firing through them.
The stuka dive sound tho😂😢
Why does every plane sound like a stuka when its going down?
Innit
I mean, the sound of Stuka is badass to represent a plane in a dive, whether it is a stuka or not, also it doesnt have a shameless volume, so it can be hidden perfectly
He's flying Higher THE king of the sky
Well done on being the first person ever to post a line from that song on a video like this.
Right at the start.. they show Von Richthofen leading the attack.
History (witness accounts, and his own words) has shown he didn't do that, he stayed loitering above the fight, and would swoop in on individuals that got separated from the general melee. Deliberately selecting distracted targets with no support.
He wasn't silly, overly heroic, he was a smart, ruthless predator
Yes, he did that in every single combat with no exceptions.
Sigh

3:17 Even when not firing you can see the Lewis Gun drum mag turnin' 🔎
Never noticed that. Ive seen propellors spinning whe. The engine is off in his junk movie but not that bit.
At 3:25 you can see the drum mag stops turning and commenced again once the gunner started shooting again
4:39
The speed and movement of the aircraft's is ridiculous.
like the potatoes of the sky. hard to believe these planes had half the top speed of my honda
With all the tech modern fighter jets have it makes dog fighting efficient and relatively safe for the pilots but ww1 dog fighting took balls, like fighting in twisted metal but flying unreliable machines made of wood and canvas. Hell flying was a new concept and they went up and fought each others
that bomber plane british i like when engine sets on fire
@3:20 notice how the winding crank on his gun keeps turning after he done firing
Is it just me that noticed the mag on the Lewis gun was spinning even when he wasn’t firing?
Where do we go to see the full length episodes? These are very nice but teasers.
Did they actually grin while airborne fighting?
Must be adrenaline
Were there that many planes available?
I went to all the war stuff in Ypres for a school trip and saw the red baron

What the heck is that Cobra?!
Nah,he just stalled then used his rudders.I forgot what the maneuver is called.
@@omgRent_ hammerhead turn i think
@@omgRent_ not just rudder, throttle usage greatly helped in such turns. The torque of the rotary engine was so hard it could literally be used to quickly turn the aircraft around
During WW1 the life of a plane on the front was estimated to 15 days according optimistic statistics.
That statistic was specifically RFC pilots on the western front in April 1916.
Not the entire war.
Can someone explain why the plane for 4:45 As a star David on its side
I remember that film... I recall that the Germans liked Bentley Aero engines.....
I want to see his silver cup collection that has every one he killed engraved on them.where is this collection?
There are only 6 known to exist. Peter Jackson has several of them and I heard that Phil Collins had one as well
AWESOME
The speed is over the top !
That's the show. Making this History acurate would have been fk boring. They were dragging at 180 km / h. Full throttle... and nose down + 200km....
I got air sick watching this
4:34 what is he saying?
"YOU BUSTER YOU FUCKING BUSTER" i think that what he was saying
"you b@stered, you b@astered"
good CG.
Should've done a Baldwin-Nolan. Real biplane flying with real bullets, and real pilots. Alec Badlwin gets to be the main charchter.
Fun Fact! Planes in WWI were only rated to the weight limit of the operators titanium balls.

откуда столько самолетов. это был штучный товар.
What movie is this?
I played Star Wars music over this. It makes it even better.
Amazing how every flaming aircraft heading towards the ground suddenly sounds like a stuka.
This is about as realistic as a Stop The Pigeon cartoon. At the ridiculous speed at which these aircraft are climbing and diving, twisting and turning in reality they would rip the wings off!
Oh of course don't forget they have never ending ammunition.
That is exactly how a diving (or crashing) aircraft sounds. You can type in "realistic plane diving sound" and see for yourself. You are confused because the stuka was also diving and so made this same sound as well, they just also had a siren added. But the aircraft in this movie don't have the stuka siren just the diving noise ( which all prop aircraft make when diving)
My stomach growling as i watch this scene, as if I'm starving for weaponry. 💌

@@user-qf7dl2ki4t Hollywood makes a movie set in WW1 but uses the Stuka sirens whenever a planes goes down or dives. They use that in almost any movie with propeller airplanes. It is an annoying inaccuracy, like the shot of pistol with a silencer. They make as if no sound comes out whatsoever.
How to tell between a red plane and the red baron its ez the red baron has a 3 winged red plane
And yet he's clearly not flying one here. Almost as if the majority of his victories were achieved in biplanes, not the dreaded Fokker.
Yes he only ever flew one aircraft.
Either that or you base all your knowledge on having read 'the little boys first book or airplanes'

Ah, the good old days, when dog fighting was nothing but close ups of pretty planes, wobbling your plane about and needlessly barrel rolling it, cut scenes, and boyish smirks as if it were an FPShooter. Cringe!
0:14 absurd
Is this film meant to be a cartoon?
Metal machine gun tastes like... ...brass and lead flavored chewing gum. 🤭
Is this historically accurate, is this what a dog fight would have actually looked like back then. I don't know much just wondering
Way to fast, to precise, to maneuverable, and the guns does not jam every few shots. In reality those pilots would be fighting their own planes to stay aloft as much as enemy planes.
@@randomnickify Any videos of an accurate ww1 dogfight interpretation in a movie seen or historical reenactment?
This is (largely) accurate, movies ALWAYS fudge some things, but remember.
These were basically box kites with motors, they weren't as heavy and were therefore more maneuverable than metal planes of WWII and later.
Ww2 bombers
No
...wtf !?!?
should not cut the scene seconds before a SPAD set aflamed and shooting down the albatros !
