On the Battlefield, you can beat a few of the Pilots most of the time, or beat more of the Pilots a few times, BUT you simply should never try to beat Snoopy.

My grandfather told us about his dogfight with the Red baron, he was always angry at people who said that the Baron was a blood thirsty murderer, my grandfather explained that his gun had jammed and the Red Baron saw him banging his gun and realised it was jammed and waved my grandfather on and flew away from my grandfather and let him live. By the way I'm almost 60 yoa

'I Am 81 and Remember hearing that an Ozziie soldier on the ground shot him. I was around 12 years old then.

This documentary contains more information on the death of Von Richtofen than any other I've seen. Great work. Thank you.
-
Thank you for mentioning Australian troops separately. Too often we are lumped in with the word "British". We appreciate it down here.

🎶 "10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or more... the bloody Red Baron was running up the score. Eighty men died just to end that streak of the bloody Red Baron of Germany!" 🎶 As a kid I loved stories of the Red Baron and the new knights of the air in the early days of air combat. As an adult I am awed and amazed at the bravery of those early flyers in planes that were barely more than Orville and Wilbur Wright's prototype compared to the marvels of technology of today.

Very well explained, particularly all the different aircraft and progression of the aircraft, over those 4 years, on both sides. Enjoyed very much
-
Something I learned the other day The Baron von Richthoffens’ brother was an ace as well , with 40 plus victories. Manfred had 80 plus victories .

Excellent documentary - thanks for posting!
-
These events occurred just 105 years ago. Incredible how much progress military aviation has made since then.
-
None of the early pilots stood a chance against the fighter ace known simply as Snoopy. With his droopy ears he was a force to be reckoned with.
-
Great video. Analytical and accurate reconstruction of events from some noted WW1 aviation historians.
-
Can one imagine the sheer terror of being shot in the chest, knowing you are dying, yet, fighting to stay alive, and, functional, while flying an Airplane ??

Red Barons great nephew had a mansion inDenver. The Von Richthofen family crest displayed above the entry gate. A fund raiser was held there many years ago. A flying replica of the Barons red triplane was parked on the front drive.

Thanks for this outstanding and informative documentary
-
Excellent detail, thank you
-
Best documentary on the subject I've listened to so far.
-
What a magnificent portrayal of events. The final analysis brings another wreath of honour to von Richthofen: that he did NOT lose the dogfight, and his death was a consequence of something more mundane - groundfire. I am very moved and proud that the Allies gave von Richthofen a hero’s burial. Honour to a brave foe. ❤️

PTSD and getting disoriented when flying low was what did Manfred in
