Starting in 6th grade could not get my hands on enough stories of these guys. I was fascinated at their bravery. I couldn't help but like pilots on both sides of the war.
Back in the 70's I was in elementary school. They used to have a monthly magazine called "Scholastic Book Club". I got a book on WW1 aces and I too was hooked.
@@vandanachavan191 I believe that was an issue with the Sopwith Camel among others. The rotary engines did have a lot of torque and pilots that weren't expecting it would find their planes veering hard to the side.
I recommend the book 'No Parachute' by Arthur Gould Lee, who flew Sopwith Pups, then Camels 1917-18. This is the most fascinating era in aerial warfare. The Golden age, if ever there was one
I'm going to try and secure funding soon next year and one of my balloon Business projects I'm attaching to my original pitch to show I have more than one idea and projects I wish to pursue, and one of them is I want to film and direct a series of Great War movies. I want to start with the wars #1 pilot Billy Bishop. I'm Canadian and we don't make enough movies for us, we rely on too much American content. Meanwhile we have some of the best stories of the Wars. Some people say Red Baron was but everyone knows making it home in a real war makes you the best.. Billy did that. RB was like, 80 kills and 1 death.. And Billy was like 72 kills and 0 deaths.. So that makes him the top ace in the world in my book cause he made it home. I want to film a movie called, "Aces" and show the history of War from Billy's journal's and book and if I did this I want to get all the other Top Aces books and stories to add to the movie, or Netflix Series.. I would then create a whole bunch of other Series of "The Great War," Saga and tell it from other aspects of the War and other Country's and how they were involved with it. A few years ago the first 100 year anniversary of the The Great War passed and nobody really made any movies about it.. And I'd try to get as much real footage as possible and not put the crew in danger.. But I'd want it to be as little CGI as possible.
@@JaybayJay I am also Canadian. Sorry to inform you that the second highest scoring ace of WW1 was René Fonck with 75 confirmed victories. Fonck was French. He was the most decorated French soldier of WW1. He died in 1953, age 59. In 1919 he had the honor of opening the military parade of the 14th of July, France's national holiday. I can't tell how much I would have loved to be there. It must have been the greatest military parade on the Champs- Élysées. I wish you good luck with your movies. People need to be remembered about the heroes who fought for their countries. They tend to forget.
Correct. No system actually used in the war was an interrupter. Mind you, a lot of people therefore think synchronisation made the gun semi automatic but that's also wrong. The gun fired for as long as the gear was activated and the propeller blade was out of the way i.e. In bursts.
I remember hearing that same Camel's pilot blipping it's engine at Rhinebeck during a landing. It seemed such a weird way to regulate speed because the threat of the cylinders loading up and stalling the engine.
At the very end ( roughly 46:00 in) where the American pilot talks about the German pilot landing at the end of the war on an allied airstrip(and basically defecting). And that he bought him lunch, is a wonderful show of generational differences in wartime humanity... Warriors respect warriors, real recognize real. It is unfortunate that modern conflicts seek only to dehumanize the enemy.
You think the enemy wasn't dehumanized in WWI or WWII? I'm afraid you're horribly mistaken. There were absolutely quite a few examples of humanity, but they were fought against by the leadership of each side.
So, exactly how is the generational differences when it came to trench warfare? I think you cherry picked your example and it doesn't apply to most of the soldier's experiences during the First World War. War does not bring out humanity in people.
Notice this: World's first aircombat beat down happend at Turkish-Russian war. Turkish Pilot (Plt. Vecihi Hurkus) beat down the Russian pilot at Azerbaycan (Caucasia Battle). Also, World's first female war pilot is Mss. Sabina Gokcen.
Like jo said about flying circus in VR. But also for a few hundred to a thousand there are guys with replicas all over who take people up. Also you can get a private pilots license to fly or for cheaper a glider license even. Gliders are fun.
It was an American television series so it's to be expected. They covered the Germans a lot, but the French and Commonwealth air services, not so much.
In the beginning it is said that the rotary engine was cut and restarted in flight. Not exactly true. It was a nine cylinders engine and the pilot could cut off three or six cylinders for controlling the speed. The nine cylinders were never entirely cut off. Also, the rotary engine acted like a huge gyroscope. Because of this, the aircraft could turn to the right very fast but was very difficult to turn to the left. Reducing the power of the engine (cutting off three or six cylinders) facilitated left turns because the gyroscopic precession phenomenon became less important.
I could understand not being air worthy for a museum piece, but if your going to fly it, then fix the damn thing. People are not going to care if you have to rearrange a fuel hose. They just want to see history.
Alright Snoopy.. Fire up the Dog House.. We'll find that Red Baron. I actually want to do a full film about the Great War.. I am so surprised that nobody made any films regarding ww1..
Snoopy got him.. Oh yeah.. Barely mention Canadian's, meanwhile the top ace of the War was Canadian.. Don't make excuses. He was shot down by a Canadian more than likely. You don't even mention that Canada was involved with the War from near the beginning, once again. This whole documentary and you don't even mention Billy Bishop's name once.
Seth Jansson that was only invented partway through the war by the Germans before that they shot through there props or had guns mounted in other areas
@@bp-hx9ts Correct. For that time being, the French also came up with a way to put them behind the propeller. They would apply armor plating around the base of each blade so that in the case of the bullets hitting the prop, it would deflect off instead of totaling the plane.
A little known fact, the interrupter gear, as it was called, was based on simple bodily functions. When you are using the bathroom going number two, you cant manage to pee at the same time, when the poop stops, the pee can start vice versa and so on and so forth. Thus this was the thinking that changed the air war forever..
AWSOME DOCUMENTARY ❤ WW1 AIRPLANE$ ARE ART ; THEY WHERE THE FIRST PIONEER$ THAT PROVIDED TECHNOLOGY KNOWLEDGE TO NEXT GENERATION$.. AND TODAY MEN IS GOING FLYING TO MARS PLANET AND OTHER PLANETS ❤
They'd be unstoppable. They're faster, their planes fly higher, have better mobility and they'd be almost bulletproof, steel is way more durable than wood. Almost any mainstay WW2 fighter aircraft would absolutely dominate the skies vs. world war 1 biplanes.
because when someone`s history pages are scarce with heroism but full of slavery and genocides (like one that was committed against american natives), he has to push himself with legs and elbows just to get himself among real heroic countries, hoping he might get included into the Club and be considered same as them. It might work at ignorants, but not at those who know history.
@@sagorevach lol it was such a genocide that they get free schooling for being born and are completely exempt from federal law on reservations. real genocide there. it was smallpox. they weren't tree hugging peaceful people, you know that right? they owned slaves. they warred with eachother and Europeans too.
I’m watching the movie FLY BOYS , and I wanted to know if they used tactics. Like a wingman to bait and hook the superior FOKKER fighters. it was every man for them selves. aircraft’s didn’t seem stealthily colored, No armor or parachute. Using all your strength flying and shooting No real way to communicate.
I hate it when an otherwise good narration is spoiled by an ignorant comment- like when they talk about centrifugal force when they mean gyroscopic precession. It's bad enough when they repeat crap from dime novels, but at LEAST get the physics right!

That last story was amazing. God bless all those brave air men as well as the infantry men on both sides who fought for their countries.
God bless you aswell ❤
“The new rotary engine was revolutionary in every sense of the word.”
- funny!
Hii 1st world war aircraft crash due to gyroscope effect it's true?

The german system was not an interrupter gear. The system developed by Lübbe (Fokker) triggered the Spandau. Huge difference !
Correct. No system actually used in the war was an interrupter. Mind you, a lot of people therefore think synchronisation made the gun semi automatic but that's also wrong. The gun fired for as long as the gear was activated and the propeller blade was out of the way i.e. In bursts.

Thank you for upading this

How about how they gave the red baron a heroic funeral after they shot him down.

Someone has never heard of the notorious “baby eating Hun”...
How virtuous you are! I'm pretty sure a modern defector would be treated to lunch these days, too.

The rotary had plenty that didn't turn back on and pilots landed or crashed
I love ww1 planes it my dream well one of them to ride in one.
You might not live to tell about it!
Get a VR headset and IL-2 Flying Circus and you can!
Like jo said about flying circus in VR. But also for a few hundred to a thousand there are guys with replicas all over who take people up. Also you can get a private pilots license to fly or for cheaper a glider license even. Gliders are fun.
I’ve been in one it’s pretty awesome
Did yuu ever die in your dream???lol
This should be titled: Air combat by the US in the first world war
It was an American television series so it's to be expected. They covered the Germans a lot, but the French and Commonwealth air services, not so much.
@@sapperssgkelley yeah
More enterwar yr planes video, monoplanes bi-planes, something other any f16f15 p51 extra

17:17 bruh 😂😂😂😂
Fr came to say the same lmfao
Lufberry was to Rickenbacker and the top American pilots what Boelcke was to Richthofen and the Circus.
No mention of Werna Voss (the bravest of the brave)Albert ball,Mick Maddock etc. yet Rickenbacker is mentioned.Why?
Amazing that they fired machine guns through their own propeller arcs.
Their machine guns were synced with the plane's propeller, that way when they shoot, it will fire between the blades almost like clockwork.
Seth Jansson that was only invented partway through the war by the Germans before that they shot through there props or had guns mounted in other areas
@@bp-hx9ts Correct. For that time being, the French also came up with a way to put them behind the propeller. They would apply armor plating around the base of each blade so that in the case of the bullets hitting the prop, it would deflect off instead of totaling the plane.
Actually, the propellor blades fired the gun/s, and stopped them, and started them again, and so on. :-)!

Oh those crazy machines, and stupidly brave pilots to fly them.
AWSOME DOCUMENTARY ❤ WW1 AIRPLANE$ ARE ART ; THEY WHERE THE FIRST PIONEER$ THAT PROVIDED TECHNOLOGY KNOWLEDGE TO NEXT GENERATION$.. AND TODAY MEN IS GOING FLYING TO MARS PLANET AND OTHER PLANETS ❤
I heard the allies flew without parachutes too. It was win or die. A waste really.
Don't ever ride in one of those old warlords, they were made to die in fire u see...
I wonder how a WWII fighter squadron would do if they were magically transported back to WWI...
They'd be unstoppable.
They're faster, their planes fly higher, have better mobility and they'd be almost bulletproof, steel is way more durable than wood.
Almost any mainstay WW2 fighter aircraft would absolutely dominate the skies vs. world war 1 biplanes.
If they saw all the shit that the army has now it would blow their mind
it's a great documentary but it is strange how they try to insert the word "american "as often as possible .
Quit hating. It was produced by British television who was an allie of the U.S. and yes, we teamed up with Britain to bring Germany down twice!
Please don't think all Americans are as obnoxious as this one. ^
Don't worry I don't.

They did have a way to communicate with very nearby planes actually.
Not a pilot, are you? _Simp._
There's nothing in "Flyboys" that is close to the truth.

1:39 How to butcher pronouncing Sarajevo😂
BS on the downing of von Richtofen. It'been forensically proven he was downed by ground fire. The Germans were the best. Coolest planes also.
American propaganda
I only wish I possessed half of of the bravery of those men.
