@@lexington476 I wasn't aware of the tabletop game until about 30 minutes ago. I was thinking more of the early 2000s PC (and XBox) game. It was a crazy, silly, arcade-y flight game that was something out of the most loony-bin fantasies of every child who became infatuated with airplanes. If you imagine proto-WW2 aeroplanes zipping through 1930s NYC with zeppelins unloading broadsides at each other, that's a pretty good summation of one of the harder levels. Also, it had really good graphics for its time. The clouds were especially pretty. Volumetric clouds were very unusual for that time.
@@BjornTheDim yeah it was like the last major new game released by FASA before they folded. I've been a BattleTech board game player since about the early '90s, it was in the advertisement I was aware of Crimson Skies.
@@fightertales Wild, you should compare notes with Drachinfiel on the most high tech method of capturing ships (Zeppelin) and the old fashion (sailing/Seeadler). Just a thought, we really need that podcast :)
With a crew of drunken pilots! We're the only airship pirates! We're full of hot air and we're startin' to rise! We're the terror of the skies but a danger to ourselves
The flammability of hydrogen was the Achilles Heel of the Zeppelins. But the US Navy was more than interested in rigid airships. Some Ex-Zeppelins were taken over by the Navy as War Reparations, some were contracted from the German firm post war, and Goodyear license built some. The US Navy could use Helium, which was not flammable, as America had a virtual monopoly on that gas. However they were huge and susceptable to violent upper atmosphere weather. And too slow to outmanuever storm fronts. Meteorology was primative in that period. Of four airships commissioned, only one survived to be decommissioned in 1939. That was the USS Los Angeles ZR-3, and she was German built as LZ-26.
This was a fun one to learn about Falcon. It's so weird that two completely different and somewhat arcane vessels, an airship and an actual ship with sails met up, let alone got captured by the crew of the airship. I also dug your nifty costume changes there LOL Glad to have you back and look forward to your next vid.
It's always interesting the small things that seem to get forgotten in history, I knew the zeppelins were used in bombing of London and other areas, but I had no idea they were used to target convoys. Makes you wonder what other little historical tidbits about aviation are out there...
6:18 one of the main reasons airships aren't in widespread use for commercial transport. There is pretty much nothing that can be done about strong winds, they will always control the movements of a airship due to the sheer volume of the things.
I'm so glad you covered this. I was about to listen to a book by someone from the skunkworks (terrible with names) saw this and had to hear about it first.
And the US Navy also had airships both blimp and rigid frame as well. The Helium Act of 1925 authorized the procurement of land that had the potential to produce helium gas and banned the export of helium. This along with the creation of the Federal Helium Reserve ensured that the United States would have a supply of helium for their airships while also ensuring that other nations had to use hydrogen for their own ships. USS Akron and USS Macon were not just rigid airships, they were flying aircraft carriers which is truly wild to think about
"The end of the Great War promised hope for a nation, but prohibition and depression eroded the core of the Union. The new nations turned to the skies, ushering in a new era of commerce. And with it, sky piracy was born. This is a world on fire, this is the world of Crimson Skies."
I guess. I forgot from whom philosopher I read this story: a pirate caught by Alex d Great complained:" if I use one ship, it's piracy while when you use a fleet, it's called empire building".
@@shaider1982 the state can do many things the individual can’t: impose taxes, have courts, operate a military. Taking a prize is not unique in that regard. That definition of piracy is taken from the leading case on piracy in the US
@@shaider1982 also you don’t need to use a ship to commit piracy. If you use physical force or the threat of physical force to deprive someone of their property (robbery) on the high seas you have piracy. So if you were to rob a passenger on a cruise ship while the ship is underway on noninternal waters that is piracy, which is very unfortunate for you because US law has but one punishment for piracy and it is imprisonment for life without parole.
Your location on the autism spectrum can be determined by how cool you think Zeppelins are.... and I think they're the coolest aircraft that ever existed. Blimps are lame. Glorified balloons vs sigma rigid frame.
8:56 Alright Deutsche is ok though not sure why you added the n at the end. Petroleum is ok though for the German pronounciation you should have put more emphasis on the "o". For Verkaufs what you have said would be "Werkaufs" in german. The german v is more like f in fail. Ges is an abbreviation. Should be Gesellschaft for the full name.

BABE WAKE UP FALCON POSTED
arrr matey *robs you from a zeppelin*
Deutsche (german)
Petroleum- (petrol)
Verkaufs- (sales)
Ges[ellschaft] (association)
The original illustration goes hard af, and is the biggest reason why I got into tall ships, I love it
CRIMSON SKIES IS THAT YOU?
Why is everyone liking this 😭
I’d love a proper remake
That menu theme is perpetually stuck in my head.
My exact thoughts 🙂. Never had the chance to play the board game but people said it was a decent game.

From the missile with a man in it to a zeppelin capturing ships, I'll say you have quite a range of content here
I like to change it up here and there
@@fightertales Wild, you should compare notes with Drachinfiel on the most high tech method of capturing ships (Zeppelin) and the old fashion (sailing/Seeadler). Just a thought, we really need that podcast :)
@@legoeasycompany I'm a small fry compared to Drach!
It takes some serious guts to war in something that has all the durability of a piece of tissue paper soaked in gasoline.
I can’t believe this is a real thing. I’m so excited to learn all about this.
Gold and Gunpowder is another great channel for anyone interested in the Golden Age of Piracy.
Guts and Blackpowder?
Real life Crimson Skies moment, though wonder how a drone blimp carrying more drones (loitering swarm?) could work?
With a crew of drunken pilots!

I just gotta say, Falcon looks dapper AF in that thumbnail.
I'm a bit jealous, if I'm being honest.
Used to be this awesome flash game called Red Baron where you shoot down huge zeppelins and engage in dogfights. Miss that game

It's always fun to keep looking for them

Welcome back, Falcon. We missed you, brother.
Dude that animated intro tho!
The return of the balloon duel Falcon!
Awesome video, as always!
Thanks for watching!
New Bloons gamemode looks sick
And remember... we are thousands of feet in the air.
Subscribed to walklthe plank. Hope they keep going. I found you from the laser 🐖😊
You know, since old stuff is becoming new again, i look forward to see the day when grandpa Buff will get a tail gun again.

I have plans for the Akron and Macon. They did come after WWI though
Falcon uploaded, bring me my pizza rolls MOM!
Great video as always! Looking forward to the next one!
Sleep can be postponed there's a new Fighter Tale
Ah, so basically Zeppelin Wars Raid mode
(Also rip to all of the crewmembers)
Time to take to the crimson skies.
Sky captain valentine Captain of the sky
It's Crimson Skies in real life!
"The end of the Great War promised hope for a nation, but prohibition and depression eroded the core of the Union. The new nations turned to the skies, ushering in a new era of commerce. And with it, sky piracy was born. This is a world on fire, this is the world of Crimson Skies."
This video makes me so incredibly nostalgic for playing Crimson Skies on my old PC back in the day…
Airship Pirates!
Blood for the blood god
Skulls for the skull throne
Likes for the algorithm
And milk for the Khorne flakes
let's go!!! so many game memories, and novel memories
YES! BLIMPS! Those need more love
Not a blimp
crimson skies 3 looking sick
I'm so happy to see a new video from you! And on something I knew nothing about too. Thank you for the educational and fun content, Falcon.
Glad you enjoyed!
AIRSHIPS, CONQUER THE SEAS!
Holy sh*t it has a intro now. It cool
Roblox Zepplin Wars irl?
In a classic Death from Above maneuver, "we order you to heave to and prepare to be boarded" 🙂😎🤓.
Colour me intrigued. I suspect this will be a very, very interesting video.
I suspect you will be pleased
@@fightertales I suspect you are correct.
I love your work!
Just a legal critique this isn’t piracy. Piracy is robbery on the high seas and is a crime. Taking a prize is not piracy
Oxford has a wider definition as seen in the vid
I guess. I forgot from whom philosopher I read this story: a pirate caught by Alex d Great complained:" if I use one ship, it's piracy while when you use a fleet, it's called empire building".
@@shaider1982 the state can do many things the individual can’t: impose taxes, have courts, operate a military. Taking a prize is not unique in that regard. That definition of piracy is taken from the leading case on piracy in the US

falcon plz explain more about the props with rear gunners!
you germany is good for an amercan, and a realy intersting storie!
Imagine if at some point there was the ability to conduct air piracy once more.
Flying boats ?
CHECK OUT THE STORY OF THE AIRSHIP LZ104(L59) it’s one hell of a zeppelin adventure
It really is!
@@fightertales It would make one hell of a movie
What a fascinating story!
Drydock episode's are amazing, ain't they.
I love Drach but this is the Airdock
flote around and find out
Omg upload
0:09 Slight correction: Tønder wasn't in Denmark at that point. Northern Schleswig went to the Danes via plebiscite after WWI.
Fair enough!
Zeppelins are so cool
Twink in da tomcat, who he gonna fox
Your mascot is looking pretty snazzy in that dress uniform.
Hell yeah
Sorry Falcon, but that this video's sponsor's last name is "Estafa" means "scam" in spanish is making me ROFLMAO 😂
YISSSS ZEPPELIN PIRACY
Air pirates!
you know unlock systems and you could do that with an F-35 B ^^
Poor German pronunciation. Harumph, I say! (engagement boosted)
12:20 Uhhh can I get some extra information on this????
12:25 excuse me what? You can’t just leave that unelaborated on.
Could you do a video on when a f-4e of the iDf downed a Egyptian mi-8 using its after burners
Does the Iron Vulture from Talespin count as a zeppelin?
The 1910s were a whacky timeline
They were indeed!
Fun.
you should do an episode on the 2 gulf of sidra incidents
So many people have done that already, but never say never
@@fightertales Nobody’s done it how you do it :)
@@zbeen-ah-lah shucks.
Why did you tag this video as music?? I can't put this in PiP mode on mobile now
@@novabella4422 It's what comes with licensing music for a video unfortunately
Ships are being pirated using helicopters. So sky pirates still exist.
the german word was pronounced good.
Thank god

Final Fantasy IX did the air ship better 😤
IT IS I, DON KARNAGE!!!
Wtf is a "Barg" ?
Bark was a large 3-4 masted sailing ship used in the early 20th century.
