This is fabulous. My grandfather was an observer in the RE8, very similar to the BE2. Also attacked by a DR1. Crashed twice. Incredible. The combat report showed that with diving in a steep turn they managed to keep from being downed. Even after my grandad's lewis broke! The DR1 eventually gave up, dissuaded by aa fire.
Amazing story
I'm not remotely jealous at all lol
I’m totally not jealous 😂
Loved the video! I used to model WW1 airplanes years ago so those planes are old friends!
Next time, how about putting the Triplane up against a Bristol or a DH-4 for a fair fight? The Red Baron once said don't underestimate that rear gunner if he knows his trade!
Love these Biplanes. Great video too. Thank you for sharing.
wow, war thunder graphics got a lot better!
Fantastic , I visit the old rhinebeck aerodrome in the US one day and it was one of the most fun moment I have experienced ! Great to see and keep it in the air.
Dreidecker toying with that BE2 like a cat with a mouse…
Great video in a top series! Nice, professional work too from Lisa and her team, I'm assuming she is leading this push as a producer?
awesome video. huge fan of those beautiful planes and times.. flyboys of of my favorite movies...
What a happy amazing passenger
A great-uncle served in the spruce squadrons on the Oregon coast logging the spruce groves to send the lumber to the WW1 aircraft factories.
My God - what a collection!
Not sure a lumbering BE2 could 'dogfight.'..
Yes, that was pretty much an unfair match.
That said, it would be interesting to see a more equal one, say an SE-2 against the Fokker triplane.
Waldo P. Barnstormer strikes again!!!!!
Beautiful aircraft👍👍
"we would so be gone!" get on the lewis gun then
That's not an FE2B!
Surely it's a BE2.
(Please correct me if I'm mistaken, or correct the titling.)
Y’all got Kiwi Tom Cruise maverickin around down there.
Too cool
TAILS❤❤❤
How about to renounce to the modern day technologies and embrace back these easy things.
When you're in an Brisfit and having trouble outdistancing a Dr.I, you need to put your foot down.
Belas imagens parabéns!
Ahhh yes, the f*kker triplane, red baron even flew that
“ Why would they wear these jackets? “ she asks
4 blades prop?
Is that a Laco Flieger the pilot is wearing?
Ah, the video that was actually destined to appear in 1915 as the battle raged in europe!
Bad position for the Lewis gun in the forward cockpit
3.28 speed and drop the throttle dip left and forward into a bank and crank throttle. a left hand quicky
Theres that German marked plane.
She didnt act like she died in a crash there did she?
Pls watch the Oh my Gods. Thanks!
Woo hooo!
by ww2 they deff got better and had parachutes.
He sounds like an Aussie or Kiwi, but she is English. Is this in NZ?
Yes.
🫡🍑 Amazing human history, I love to get a break down of the first brand model engines which ran the propeller on these, so cool.. ⚙ As I am watching the 2019 film 1917..
0.56 get on the fake Luftwaffe watch.
I can stand a [citizen] even when theyre marketed alongside/with any nation.
Wearing a Kevlar helmet with comms... and you're calling out his watch..?
Fine go shell then with no nickets gal
