      They did that so they could be identified by ally and foe alike. In Aircombat of WW1 there was no camouflage so they made it easyer not accidentaly being shot by friendly fire. And only a small portion of the Red Barons kills were done in his Red Fokker Dreidecker most he achieved in anothere plane before he got his most famous plane.

    From the Red Baron's autobiography: "For whatever reasons, one fine day I came upon the idea of having my crate painted glaring red. The result was that absolutely everyone could not help but notice my red bird. In fact, my opponents also seemed to be not entirely unaware [of it]". This later became adopted by his whole squadron, using various amounts of red in their own paint jobs, possibly to help keep their leader from sticking out so much, but in practice became a method of unit identification that the german air command permitted, despite the disadvantages. Many squadrons kept to a theme or motif, but there was still much individualization between individual pilots. Many pilots after the war commented on how much the plain khaki color of their enemies made them easier to distinguish from friendly fighters in the middle of a dogfight, perhaps helping explain why German pilots saw so much success during the first war.
    If memory serves the all-time Ace-of-aces Erich Hartmann, aka The Black Devil, also used a black tulip on the engine cowling to distinguish his plane, though he actually only flew with that design a handful of times it became associated with him and Russian pilots were quick to start avoiding any fighter with that distinctive paint job, which Hartmann used to his advantage by reassigning that plane to his squadron's most novice pilots, allowing them a great deal of protection from the enemy until they worked up their skills a bit.

    As far as I am aware, Von Richthofen painted his plane red on a lark but soon found that it helped his men tell which plane was his during combat conditions. WWI saw the introduction of coordinated combat maneuvers, so knowing which plane was which became important. Eventually, his whole squadron painted their planes in bright colors to distinguish one another, earning them the nickname "the Flying Circus."

    For the 181st, it was originally 6 squadrons in the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing and was considered one of the worst units in the Empire for how undisciplined every pilot was. Baron Soontir Fel whipped the unit into shape and turned them into one of the most feared military units in the Empire, downsizing to three squadrons to form the 181st Imperial Fighter Group. The three squadrons were Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Squadrons, though Saber Squadron was a secondary designation Alpha Squadron sometimes took, most notably during the Battle of Endor.

    The red Baron was in charge of a squadron that was ordered to paint it's planes. Camouflage was what command assumed they would use. He wanted to scare his enemy because if you kill them in the mind first, the body is doomed to follow. He painted his plane red and his squadron followed painting the planes in loud colors. They were dubbed the flying circus because of the wild paint jobs.

    The reason why the original Red Baron painted his plane red was answered when an officer asked the same question. He simply stated: *I don’t want to hide from my enemies, I want my enemies to run...*

    The red baron painted his plane red for several reasons one is that it allows you to be spotted better by friendlies and he had the rest of his squad paint their planes bright colors which resulted in the being named the ‚Flying Circus‘.

    Baron Von Richthofen painted his plane red to commemorate his elevation to command of the Jasta 11 squadron. Later, he adopted the color as a calling card.
    The sequel trilogy has yet to impress me, but maybe the eu portion might hold some promise.
    Star Wars already has a Red Baron tribute in the form of Tofen Vane.
    The First Order would markedly improve if the put some of their red paint budget into other investments, like original weapons and competent generals.
    At least Disney's not inflicting us with Kybo Ren ..............yet.

    The First Order Tie Interceptor is great and all, an amazing successor of the Imperial Tie Interceptor, but does it still fixed the flaws from it’s predecessor? Could there be a kill switch on a First Order Tie Interceptor?
    Edit: Sith Troopers, Snoke’s guards, and Major Vonreg. First Order likes red. Maybe we should called them Red Squad.

    I think that it is also to make the enemy nervous or even afraid because stories about elite pilots spread fast so knowing your opponent is a Baron who singlehanded killed 10 star fighters in a battle makes people nervous and afraid and then they make mistakes.

  • @TheOneTrueDragonKing

    Ironically, brightly-colored aircraft were used in World War 2 as well, for some of the exact reasons you describe here. They were known as "formation leaders" and the brightly colored paint enabled them to serve as beacons around which Allied planes would form up.
    However, this was done with bomber formations, not with fighters. The brightly colored center plane would usually be either a bomber or a fighter.
    Some reconnaissance versions of fighters such as British photo-reconnaissance Spitfires, were colored even more absurdly. For example, some were painted salmon pink, to blend in with the early pre-dawn light. But these were mostly solo flights over enemy territory.
    In some cases, such as the Red Baron's, the commonly-held thought is that it was done for either intimidation factor or as you've stated, so that the squadron could more easily follow them.
    Getting back to the formation leaders though, in some cases formation leaders would also be "pathfinders", which would fly in ahead of the bomber streams and mark the drop point with flares. When a bombardier in the stream saw the flares, they would drop their payload on target. Bombs away!

    Red Baron comes straight from WW1: The Red Baron was the name applied to Manfred von Richthofen, a German fighter pilot who was the deadliest flying ace of World War I. During a 19-month period between 1916 and 1918, the Prussian aristocrat shot down 80 Allied aircraft and won widespread fame for his scarlet-colored airplanes and ruthlessly effective flying style.

    Real world Red Baron didn't die in collision. He was hit by a stray bullet in a dogfight and bled out. He still managed to land his plane smoothly on a field, but was already dead when found. Allies buried him with honor and stripped his plane apart for souveniers. Parts of it are still held in exhibitions all around the world.

    Baron Von Richtoven flew many a plane during WW1, not just his Tri-plane. However that was the most memorable. He was also shot down by an Australian, with the consequent crash killing him. There are conflicting reports as to wether it was a rifleman, or a machine gunner.

    There is actually a biography from the Red baron.... and he said the he painted his airplane red because there is no such thing as camouflage in dogfights... and he also wanted to strike fear in the hearts of his opponents because he had such a reputation for being the best dogfighter in WW1...which would probably mean the same for Baron Vonreg

  • @maxilos1987
    @maxilos1987 5 років тому

    if I am remembering correctly from reading something concerning the Red Baron, he had his plane painted red (the colour of blood) as an intimdation tactic, the pilot of the planes upon seeing the red plane would know exactly who was flying it and his reputation and it would unnerve them.

  • @MikeDchy25
    @MikeDchy25 3 роки тому

    Depends on what you prioritise, tactical leadership or tactical combat. Not that it's dumb either way under the circumstances, it's just paint that stands out a bit, which as was mentioned, in space is only useful in a battle. So it's either a captains red armband or the camouflage? Take your pick.

  • @WritingFighter
    @WritingFighter 2 роки тому

    Being allowed to paint your plane in striking designs that stick out is an honor for veteran and skilled pilots, particularly in WWII at least, but I'm sure also WWI.
    There was one German pilot who painted his plane with bright, sunburst yellow nose and front part of the fuselage. This was a signal to the enemy that this was a highly prized and skilled combatant on purpose. Psychologically, it lures in the inexperience, cocky and daring enemy pilots (traits valuable for becoming a skilled veteran), keeps away the unworthy scaredy cats, and allows them to take on skilled veterans of the enemy and destroy them quickly.
