All these weapons technologies we think are normal all had it's birth in world war 1. It's the war where the old world collided with the modern world.
There's a great History Channel "Dogfights" vid on Werner Voss' last day in the air, he was flying a Fokker triplane and took on a large group of SE5s single-handed. The turning ability of the Fokker was amazing, and Voss could have used this to disengage and make his escape on several occasions, but he seemed addicted to the thrill of the fight. After several exchanges of fire with the SEs, his maneuvering became less aggressive and extreme, indicating that he had been wounded and was losing both blood and consciousness. An SE eventually latched onto his tail and administered the coup de grace.
True war is terrible. However these brave young pilots were the last remnants of the time of chivalry. True noblemen. How lucky we are to have such an extensive and vivid record of the sky jousters. Richtofen, Guynemer, Hawker, Brown, Voss, Rockwell, Luftberry, Rickenbacker, my hat goes off to you brave knights who spawned not only a new hero but filled the imaginations of generations forever.
@maxim chasovski "this is impossible they haven't created color film in ww1"Very funny. The original film was shot with cameras only capable of black and white photography. Nowadays with modern technology we can enhance old black and white film into new versions that are in color. That's how this was done. Sorry but you're wrong. This is totally possible ;)
The old dude with the fucked up ear speaks gibberish. I can't understand one word he says.
the man who is talking through the film is the same one who did the walking with dinosaurs for the BBC. great voice

that intro music always givin me heebyjeebies
I guess you could say that if the allied pilots where shot down by a Fokker, they where Fokked
War is mass murder and nothing else sent to kill and be killed by cowards in power
this is impossible they haven't created color film in ww1
And yet a Canadian Pilot is credited with shooting down the Red Baron still.

We`ve got a desire for those old times because everything seems to be clear.
Enemy is evil and we have the right to kill.
