- Due to the limitations of Rise Of Flight, not all aspects are 100% accurate.
Inaccuracies in the film-
1.The two-seater brought down by Manfred was a French Farman.
2. Manfred did not fly the DFW.
3. Manfred's Albatros DV.a was a mix of red and brown when he was shot down.
4. He flew the Fokker F.1 before acquiring his Dr. 1
5. Not all paint skins are accurate to the time and squadron. - Zábava

“First to the scene, he’s a lethal machine. It’s bloody April and the tide is turning.” I see what you did there
It even played in the background
@@justincase9033 i just noticed
Sabaton
Eyyyyyyyy another Sabaton fan here
Fire at will it's the thrill of the kill
4 in a day shot down with engines burning
I miss the Dogfights series ; one of the best shows of the old History Channel.
They still show them on the CZcams History channel Search it Yeah I love those also I still watch them right much I don't think it's new one's though I think they are all reruns from years ago ✌️
Agree.
@@EJ-74 yes they are reruns. Iv seen them all. I didn't like the ones about ships. That's not a dogfight.
@@bobthompson4319 Yeah I never understood that as well Doesn't make any sense ✌️
Agreed 👌
“The quality of the box matters little. Success depends on the man who sits in it.”
-Manfred von Richthofen
😭😭
It doesn't matter how many shiny toys you have if your leaders are incompetent and your enemy, savvy.
This is excellent. There were so many stories that were not covered in the fantastic "Dogfights" series. We need more of this!
When I was a young boy I thought he was the real deal...still do. I got to see one of his Folker triplanes in the Museum in Munich in the early 1960s...I just stared at it for what seemed like hours...I will never forget the Red Baron..he was Honorable and truly "the real deal"..RIP Manfred ..Salute!
I'm 61 and same here.
Some men are just made for this, enhanced reactions compared to the rest of us perhaps, Marseille was the same
the real deal is Erich Hartman, the Black Devil; this luftwaffe ace shot down 352 enemy planes, including seven p-51 mustangs. The most prolific fighter ace of all time, he did it in 3 and 1/2 years. salute!
I recall reading that Richtofen wasn't considered such a great pilot, but he was an experienced hunter, an excellent shot and particularly good at deflection shooting. All were skills that made him very dangerous.
There is an account (I believe its in his flight log/autobiography "The Red Airfighter"; its been a while since reading my books of Manfred) of him being in bed, woken up by noise of his brother Lothar and another member of their squadron taking off to attack a couple of aircraft near their airfield. Still in his pyjamas, he took off, found and attacked and shot down 2 aircraft, returned to his base and was back in bed by the time his brother Lothar and the other pilot landed. But yes, he was a hunter, and methodical, and dangerous.
@@harleywylie2909 "You think you're so good? I shot down two enemy planes before breakfast!"
What’s deflection shooting?
@@johnb.8687 Aiming ahead of the target so that the round and the target's trajectories intersect at the same time.
@@johnb.8687 Deflection shooting is aiming ahead of a moving target so that when it reaches a certain point the projectile arrives at the same point striking the target.
And Rictoffen was given an honorable burial by his enemies out of respect to his his amazing history as a pilot.
I actually have to thank Peanuts and Snoopy for making me more interested in WW1 and flight (fun fact, it was actually quite later in his service when Manfred got his “Red Baron” nickname)! And that’s a good thing because aerial combat such an fascinating topic!
I always tell people how much of a badass Manfred was, and just how respected he was by his own allies and his adversaries. His skills were unmatched, and he was stealthy, patient, and determined!
Fonck's skills were certainly a match.
The Barron himself would be proud of this raw take on him. No overextended hero talk that others have done. Purely his words and flying. Good job chief
Baron, not Barron.
This is amazing. Dogfights was my childhood, and you brought it all back with this amazing film. Thank you sir!
Rise of Flight historical with a great intro and great video that reminded of history channel dogfights.
Someone call the History Channel about this!
Yeah! That's awesome! Also the AC7 footage that got in the intro
Yes! They could use the reminder of what an actual history show looks like.
Would be useless. THC would probably make a show that claimed von Richthofen was the son of Hitler's uncle and an alien, and somehow connect WWI to Bigfoot.
They're too busy talking about ancient aliens and coming up with crazy nazi stories to discuss actual history
This was an unbelievable document of one of military history’s greatest heros. Thank you so much
I am a U.S. Navy and Army veteran who was a Mechanic on F14 Tomcats, and M1 Abrams Tanks. I now have this small YT channel and love this kind of content.
Good Job.
It’s pretty cool how this can be seen as both a satire and a really strong, honest commemoration to Dogfights. Whatever way you saw the show, this is undoubtably amazing.
definitely seems more like a tribute
Did anyone else realize he was referencing sabaton’s song the Red Baron
Yes
This was very well done, I must say. The use of the Dogfights' soundtrack, Sabaton's "The Red Baron (Soundtrack Version)", and the Der Rote Baron soundtrack, and how they were all edited together. Then there was that intro, which brought nostalgia, and Aiden's narration, Samuel's reading of Manfred's diary, everything was well done. :)
Thank you so much! I've noticed this short film is suddenly getting a lot of attention and I couldn't be more thankful for that.
There is another large inaccuracy in this video. Even though there was controversy for many years, regarding who fired the kill shot, it was determined at least 10 years ago (maybe more) that because of the trajectory of the bullet through the chest, that it was the Aussie gunner on the ground who fired that shot. I'm surprised that this recent video doesn't play that out.
I played it safe just in case. I did the research and watched a lot of documentaries but wanted to include the mystery of it.
Right he die by a shot that came from the ground ! Some investigation about the angle of the bullet and the caliber used shown it !
@@acerawlings4351 so he could not be killed by air!
It was an Aussie ground gunner that did for the Red Baron. The bullet that killed him was a .303, the same one used in the Lee Enfield rifle. Small entry wound and a large hole for the exit. The bullet turns end for end tearing internal organs to pieces. Probably ripped the right lung and took a huge chunk out of the heart before exiting near the left shoulder.
Richthofen was not killed by Roy Brown. Brown pursued him as he pursued Lt. May, but the bullet came from the ground because of the nature and angle of the bullet trajectory . LONG story short, it is highly likely that Sgt. Cedric Popkin, a Vickers gunner with the Australian 24th Machine Gun Company shot him after he abandoned his pursuit of May and headed home [Richthofen had stopped firing -- once again LONG story short -- he still had ammo., and what likely happened was that first one machine gun jammed, then the other. Unable to clear the jams and out of gun, he had to leave.] Two other ground gunners who were firing Lewis guns -- Gunners R. Buie and W. Evans of the 53rd Battery --- claimed the kill, but their ground position was inconsistent with the single side shot that killed Richthofen, whereas the wound path lines up with Popkin. Estimates vary as to how low Richthofen was, but he was very low to the ground for an airplane in combat -- anywhere from 50 feet to 300 feet. If you're a machine gunner in a fixed position on the ground firing upwards so you really don't need cover at a bright red target, it's hard to miss something that big flying that low. I'm surprised that he was hit by only one round. The Brits gave credit to Capt. Roy Brown because he was an officer and a knight of the air instead of a lowly Aussie enlisted man in the common mud of the trenches.
Ahhhh love the take on the old show. Loved it when I was a kid
Awesome work Ace!! Can’t wait to see more episodes! Do some more on WWI aces and on The Battle of Britain, New Guinea, Eastern Front, Mediterranean Theatre/Italy, etc.!!
Bro that intro was nostalgia, THIS WHOLE VIDEO IS NOSTALGIC
Amazing! 😃 Manfred would be delighted by this! It was a pleasure to be involved!
Awesome job! This was amazing! I can forgive any historical inaccuracies in this film. The people who made the original Dogfights series would be proud.
This is an amazingly well choreographed presentation. It is a refreshing new take on the Baron as opposed to all of the recycled ones that present the same material with standard images. The in-cockpit views were especially effective. Well done...
That was a captivating 25 minutes of superb graphics and narration. Well done!
Its really nice to see the ROF community is still here, I've only been playing for about 1.5 years (MamaShrekDing) but everyone is great---and btw great vid!!!!!
Awesome job on this vid The animation was on point Even tho he was our enemy it's a sad story watching him die like that I guess he died doing what he loved and his death prevented more of our guys from dying That's one way to look at it
R.I.P. Red Baron and all pilots and soldiers that sacrificed their lives for what they believed in 🙏❤️
Very good stuff! It looked and sounded professional, both the cinematography and the editing.
Absolutely love these videos! great work, please keep 'em coming!!!
My good sir I hope u will make more of this sort video cuz it is so amazing and I would love to see more and so would others. Keep up the good work and relive the dogfight
A very well done work, sir! Your use of Rise of Flight is impressive, AND Manfred's diary, and the above-mentioned inaccuracies are forgivable.
And also Sabaton. Nice insert. You made it work.
Excellent video - visuals, sound and narration!! Thank you!
Wow! This was a great presentation. We actually are able to hear the thoughts of the pilot. I would think he also suffered from PTSD after being wounded. But he also says if the men in the trenches are fighting,I am also going to fight.
Still the best known fighter ace of any age. He flew the most advanced aircraft of the time. No doubt he would be able to fly a jet aircraft. Curse you Red Baron!
One thing to remember is that by the time he died, all of his old friends had already died, and one thought is that by the end he really didn’t care if he lived or died, also why it’s thought he broke his rule. Love rise of flight. Nice work
You have to wonder if survivors guilt wasn't a part of it, Yes. Like shell shock, the higher echelons tried to ignore or stigmatize how their soldiers. were reacting to the repeated exposures of wounding mutilation and death that they witnessed.in the trenches. Same with what the airmen witnessed in the skies. First the training accidents, then the engine failures on take off, the undetected structural damage suddenly coming home to roost in the aircraft beside yours. Your first kill. The first flamer, the first friend going down with a wing collapsing against the fuselage. Eventually It's just too much.
What Dale Earnhardt was to NASCAR, Manfred von Richthofen aka "The Red Baron" was in the skies of WWI.
May both Rest In Peace
You're comparing someone who drove in a circle to someone who was shot at.
@@synthwavecat96
Eddie Rickenbacker drove in a circle as well. 😉
@@justinharvey1355 Rickenbacker also didn’t like speaking in front of crowds because he was self-conscious about his German accent.
This might be late but thank you my month is made and nostalgia peaked I miss this show so much
How did I not discover this earlier?? Brilliant video. Thank you so much for this!
Great work. Absolutely amazing, emotional, dynamic and well done!
This video is good! I really felt sadness in my heart when you presented his demise
One of the better ones for sure. The Albatross D-III looks really good in red. Nice detailed aircraft close-ups too.
Dude thank u sooo much for this, I looooved dogfights on the history channel
Well done! Thank you for making this film.
Such a well made documentary! Good show.
Excellent research into this fascinating Ace. Had to subscribe.
Wonderful documentary. Love the use of the sabaton track in this film.
Loved this video...great in every way. Thank you. It is now a researched fact that he was downed by ground fire. Roy still received credit. He was honored in his hometown as the pilot who brought down The Red Baron.
Excellent Job!!!! I miss videos like this.
One of the best of the best. Airmen/Dogfighters ever
One of my earliest memories of reading a book about WW1 knights of the sky or some such nonsense including of course the " Red Baron " and numerous others. I've been reading ever since. Thx. Love the content. 🌎✌️🌍
Oh my god, I loved this, I can only hope you do more
I thought this was real at first you got the commentary spot on!! If I’m being honest this is better than the actual show
Had to watch this again.... Awesome video, commentary and Music!
This was fantastically done. Keep.up.the great work
Omg! Dogfights was my favourite show in history channel! It's awesome you made this!!!
Excellent job on the Doc! Enjoyed it very much!

"Man and machine and nothing there in between
The flying circus and a man from Prussia
The sky and a plane, this man commands his domain
The western front and all the way to Russia
Death from above, you're under fire
Stained red as blood, he's roaming higher
Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
That's where the legend will arise
And he's flying
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
First to the scene, he is a lethal machine
It's 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
Embrace the fame, red squadron leader
Call out his name: "Rote Kampfflieger"
In the game to win, a gambler rolls the dice
Eighty allies paid the price
And he's flying
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
Higher
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast, again, he's flying too high
He's flying higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
Higher
Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
And the legend never dies
And he's flying
And he's flying
And he's flying
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die"
Nice work, but he was more of a hunter than a horseman or a soldier.
@@burtpanzer sorry but he posted the lyrics to “The Red Baron” by Sabaton.
I love how this is the style of the History Channel Dogfight series! Great job.
A true historian, excellent job. Unbiased and truthful. Thanks 🙏🏻 from Iran 🇮🇷
Exactly this is the Dogfights. It was my favorite series
The animations in these are superb, it helps tell the story as it was.👍🏻
They used a game called Rise Of Flight.
not even two minutes in and im loving it. AMAZING JOB!!!!!!!
The Dogfight series relived! Awesome. Please make all the series. Also the Vietnam and six day wars.
Brings back great memories. It would be nice if History Channel brought back Dogfights with upgarded graphics.
wow the ending gave me chills! nice work man
Better than the original series from History Channel. Well done!!! ❤️
You’ve made my day.
And tbh, Rise of Flight will always beat Il-2 Flying Circus.
Edit: “And Boeckle was wondering where I had been”
I was busy crouch spamming on my first kill.
Another Edit: No worries on the inaccuracies. Not every documentary is fully accurate.
Sir, Red Baron you... you're alive! Still have to give it a chance! RoF I mean. Try Il2 B.A.T. You can thank me later!
Sir Richthofen, may I ask you some questions?
YES!! The Red Baron liiivvvess!
The guy was called Boelcke.
RoF is great. May I also recommend IL-2 1946 with the BAT - Dawn of Flight mod. The graphics aren't that up to date, but plane selection of that mod is much bigger than that of RoF (or FC for that matter).
Thank you for the great animation and accuracy! Very wonderful video indeed...
Its not an animation. It's a videogame called Rise Of Flight.
"Flying too fast and he's flying too high"
Wait a minute
Really nice film. Took me back when I used to watch Dogfights as a kid... you really captured the style of the show.
Also 23:50, René Fonck: "Am I a joke to you?"
i loved this, reminds me so much of the history channel from the 2000s and early 2010s
He really went out in a blaze of glory.. Wings made me a fan of this genre both the movie and the game..
Great job! Very entertaining to watch
Great video and commentary. Thank you.
Love this documentary it was well produced .
Great video, but I was a little disappointed that the Red Baron's fights with the WWI Flying Ace "Snoopy" weren't mentioned. I guess those fights where more significant to Snoopy than to the Red Baron. 😉😄
j/k, of course. I've always been extremely fascinated about the Red Baron since I was a kid, and that fascination truly did originate from the fictional stories told through Snoopy via Charles Schulz.
I never knew about the Red Baron getting his first unofficial kill as an observer. Thanks for that.
Ah yes, 80 men died trying to end that spree, of the bloody Red Baron, of Germany.
@@andrewfinlayson1507 fortunately, despite going head to head with the Red Baron, on more than one occasion, Snoopy managed to survive all his encounters. 🤨
💀..DAMN !! Really GREAT Presentation 👏 .Left quite an impression..Bangin' JOB, dudes..!!! ✌️😉
Extraordinary video. Really outstanding
Take that History Channel !! The resurrection of Dogfights has been commenced ❤
Opening titles and theme brought me back to my childhood 😊
The man may die but His name lives on to inspire generations ahead. That's the best way to live a life. Very few of us ever achieve to that level of Pure Brilliance. Respect to Warriors like him always who gave their lives for their Country 😌❤️
Terrific graphics and story telling!
Excellent presentation, thank you!
sucha well done tribute. kudos 1000X and thank you 10,000X
dude i remember watching these along time ago as a kid! i how its all new with those IL2 planes
If it weren't for the accent, I would totally think this is Dogfightsm great job!
I really love how much research you put into this content! You have a real passion for aviation! If possible I’d like to get in touch sometime.
Amazingly impressive animations.
Very interesting to watch too.
When I initially watched this, I actually thought it was some Europe only version of a dogfights episode not knowing it was fanmade
Seriously dude well done!
The guy was so expert that he calculated before his death the trajectory so that the plane would remain intact
Really enjoyed this, thanks.
This was a very good informative video, thank you.
That is awesome work - subscribed.
At 11:11, the narrator perfectly says a verse from Sabaton's Red Baron. Was that a common saying regarding Van Rictofen?
Edit, haha! It's no coincidence! This was a wonderful video!
amazing work sam! you just got yourself a like
This is great! Thanks for showing me
Excellent documentary!
Beautiful recreation of the show
Hats off to the Sabaton "Red Baron" citation at 11:10
and the Symphonic Version of the music as a background is awesome!!! thanks for making this
@@Strike666 Thank you!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who caught that! Lol
Nice short history of Richtofen. Excellent animation as planes look accurate. It is easy to romanticise these men and airplanes and perhaps that is the best way to frame them but it was a grisly business of seeing terrifying death and for many ultimately dying in flames and/or collisions.
Earlier in his flying career, Richtofen enjoyed examining the wreckage and bodies of dead pilots he brought down like the hunter scrutinizing the deer he just shot. Rather morbidly detached you might say. He may have given up that routine after his near death encounter later.
All the airmen of that war were exceedingly brave though.
The animation is really cool- seems fairly "realistic" regarding the planes kinda falling apart after lethal gunfire damage and usually not exploding upon hitting turf.
i know im late but its a videogame
History channel: *stops* *making* *Dogfights*
