Always enjoyed reading about the Great War aviators. Several years ago I bought a ride in a biplane at Old Rhinebeck aerodrome in New York State. It was everything I hoped for but just too short. The takeoff and landing was spectacular!! I loved this video, thanks!
Unglaublich was die Erbauer der beiden Replikate da geleistet haben. Und die beiden Piloten ebenso. Beide Maschinen sind sicher nicht leicht zu starten und zu landen. Wunderschöne Eindrücke!
Are they flying with 1918 technology engines or do they have the 2020 shelf engines at a airplane dealer? No matter, old stuff no matter it looks like turns heads, that is what counts first :)
Just saw this today 8/28/21. You guys made my month. Outstanding but way too short but loved every second of it. Thank you so much. Best part is NO MUSIC.
The Albatros was greatly feared and very good looking, too. It's flying escort for the recon plane here, I'm sure. I want to give the Hansabrandenburg pilot a periscope.
Als einer der ehemaligen Piloten des Alpenflug Zell a.S. (OE- KAZ) bin ich von Eurem Beitrag begeistert! Hellauf- begeistert! Hatte noch nie in meinem (Flieger-) Leben Gelegenheit, eine solche historische Replika Österreichisch- Ungarischer oder deutscher Ingenieurkunst zu fliegen oder anzufassen. "Mattsee"! Kenne ich leider nur von oben. Aber... Ihr habt mir eine große Freude gemacht- heute, als alten Mann! Danke, aus Sachsen!!!!!
Verwunderlich aber man hat damals offenbar nicht so viel drauf gegeben. Und das bis in die frühen 30er Jahre hinein. Siehe den RRG Fafnir oder den Bowlus Albatros.
That Albatros DIII OEFFAG series 253 was/is my favorite Albatros design in particular I like the look of the nose better than the German design also it was better built more powerful engine all around better airplane.Thank you for posting this video!
Most likely an emblem of personal relevance to the pilot. The depicted plane was flown by Benno Fiala von Fernbrugg (3rd ranking austrian ace with 28 or 29 victories) , so most likely it´s a symbol in reference to his family or something else from his personal life. Many austrian and german planes in WW1 had these personal symbols on them. After all, many pilot´s families were part of the aristocracy...
☠BLACK BARON☠ 0:32 Der wichtigste Mann vor dem Flug ist immer der Techniker und Mechaniker. Sehr schönes "Old Duo with Duo Wings" 👍 3:50 Oldtimer hätten bei mir immer Flug-Erlaubnis. Oldtimer in der Luft, durch die freie Landschaft fliegen ist einfach supa dupa.
They look like historic versions, not kits, I assume these are restored? The albatross looks so authentic, the color scheme and the star of David on the side makes me think it's designed to look like Wilhelm Frankl's Albatross? I am curious about the nose, it's more rounded than the original DIII's I believe. Was this a mod for engineering reasons? Either way great video, I loved seeing them fly along the Burgen.
This is an authentic and accurate replica from an Öffag-built Albatross (Austrian). The big spinner, the german Albatross had, had some Problems, the Austrians wanted to get rid of. Despite every single screw not available nowadays was scratch made to original specs. The engines of both planes, being the same 225 HP Austrodaimler inline-6, are old and original. everything else was made. Even the high-pressure-tyres...
I believe German ww1 two seaters had the guy in the back seat in control of the mission so the pilot followed orders. Maybe that explains the poor forward vision. Mind, that's only guessing.
That is right, the rearguy was the one with the higher Rank. But at These days, the cylinderbank of Inline engines always stood upright. Also, cause ww1 planes could hardly bear crosswinds, the flyingfields were quite big and forewardvisibility therefore not that cruscial.
The cockpits are also fairly small but open - so the pilot can easily lean out to the left side or the right side. Early on visibility down was as much of a priority as visibility forward. The layout used largely replaces the need for a windscreen while ensuring a degree of streamlining I suppose!
It was the personal sign of ObLt. i.Res. Benno Fiala, CO of Flik 51/J . The third highest ranking ace (28) of the LFT, the Austro-hungarian Aviation Troops.
The sound of the rigging cables slicing air is amazing

Wow, flying rare WW1 biplanes in the Alps is wild

Beautiful planes. It's amazing how little forward visibility the pilot has in the Hansa-Brandenburg
Crazy how the pilot in the two-seater barely has any visibility in front of him
Mann! Wenn das der dicke Hermann und der Manfred wüssten!?!??
Are they flying with 1918 technology engines or do they have the 2020 shelf engines at a airplane dealer? No matter, old stuff no matter it looks like turns heads, that is what counts first :)
they both have the same original AD6 Austrodaimler-Engines with 225 HP and the same stunning sound
😳🥴✊💪👋✌👏🤗

La musica in questo video è la voce dei motori ed il soffio del vento🤩🤩🤩
All respect to you from Iraq.. Albatross is really amazing
Irgenwelche Deppenvideos haben 100000 Likes und euer wahnsinnig tolles Video nur 62 - die Leute sehen die falschen Sachen, echt!
Das zeigt eindeutig wieviele Deppen es auf der Welt gibt😁
It's too easy to realize The Albatros DIII is the finest coolest looking biplane of all time.
I have to agree
I So agree....But, the Pfalz DIII.....is also on my List...of Cool, Sleek and sturdy. :)
The Albatros was greatly feared and very good looking, too. It's flying escort for the recon plane here, I'm sure. I want to give the Hansabrandenburg pilot a periscope.

Fantastic to see and hear these machines in the air. Thank you.
Really impressive ! I like at 3:55 the windows under the C1 to take photos.
Actually it is at 3:32. And I was wondering if the window is used to drop bombs.
Ernst Heinkel designed the Hansa Brandenburg C.I
Nice planes and great scenery!
Danke für diesen hervorragenden Beitrag.
Was sind das schöne Flugzeuge. Herrlich zu sehen und zu hören.
Vielen vielen Dank
Where was this video shot?
Mountains look beautiful!
My goodness, listen to those engines purr! Beautiful. Thanks for posting this.
It obviously never occurred to the designers at Hansa Brandenburg that the pilot might want to see where he was going!
I love the two seater, though I wouldn't want to fly it
twice as nice, beautiful
Not even fake guns on the D.III?
Forward Visibility is so bad .
the daimler beautiful engine
3 point landing ?
Wonderful
Austrian.
Fantastic thanks
Afghani Air Force 😂😂
Absolutely fantastic video!
Incrível! Isso é muito legal! 🌟
that landing
Schon toll Fluggeräte zu fliegen, bei den Man kaum Sicht nach vorne hat! Hut ab.
Verwunderlich aber man hat damals offenbar nicht so viel drauf gegeben.
Und das bis in die frühen 30er Jahre hinein. Siehe den RRG Fafnir oder den Bowlus Albatros.
The Designer of that two seater was a real genius. I was constantly waiting for it to fly into a mountain.
Yeah, you can't see squat straight ahead, you have to keep swinging your body from side to side to see.
That Albatros DIII OEFFAG series 253 was/is my favorite Albatros design in particular I like the look of the nose better than the German design also it was better built more powerful engine all around better airplane.Thank you for posting this video!
Wunderschön !
What is the significance of a six pointed star instead of a balkenkreuz?
Most likely an emblem of personal relevance to the pilot. The depicted plane was flown by Benno Fiala von Fernbrugg (3rd ranking austrian ace with 28 or 29 victories) , so most likely it´s a symbol in reference to his family or something else from his personal life.

Good point thanks, many planes also had a swastika too, both Western Allies and Central Powers alike.
🥰Beautiful
Super Video. Besser als vieles, was mehr gesehen wird. Macht weiter so. Eine Frage habe ich: wo genau seid ihr geflogen?
Aigen im Ennstal am Grimming. Die C1 flog dazu von Wr. Neustadt auf Besuch!
@@orictis Vielen Dank für die Antwort.

Remove my previous comment :)
Pure magic !
Herrliche Aufnahmen. Danke für´s zeigen.

I believe the Austro/Hungarians used Austro Daimler engines instead of the German Mercedes

Prop spinner ! The most importen ditail..
The Austrian model did not have a prop spinner.
Is that a German Alb D-III, or an Oeffag? If Oeffag, was it a model 53, 153, or 253?
oeffag afaik
Albatros is Austrian from Oeffag and model 253.

What's the deal with the Magen David on the Albatross?
Was the enblem from the Flik 51, a certain combatgroup in todays northern Italy

Wunderbar!
Откуда звезда Давида на немецком самолёте?
Оттуда же откуда и двуглавый орёл с пятиконечной звездой .
Where is this?
The shots were taken in Austria, Niederöblarn (LOGO).
