+elephant 36 Posted November 21, 2010 I have it too, it was given as a present from a Military History magazine, here in Greece, a few years ago... The great futage contained is taken from the Imperial War Museum archives. I prefer watcing it in b/w though. The coloring was not of my taste ...and IMHO not 100% historical. For instance I remember a scene with MvR mounting on a Dr.1 and taking off, where the Triplane has been colored red when it is obvious that it was bearing the original factory finish.

Olham 164 Posted November 21, 2010 Ah - that is a good point, elephant. I was wondering: could they always really know, which colour to use? MvR didn't fly the all-red Dr.1 very long; all others would have to be green and red. A lot of historical knowledge would be necessary to get all that right. Do you know if the footage was used, that Anthony Fokker produced; showing many German aces? (I think the material is now owned by Steven Spielberg.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+elephant 36 Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) I don't really know, actually... On the back of my DVD box says: "The original b/w footage was supplied by the Imperial War Museum London..." I haven't seen it for a long time now and I don't remember clearly. (I got it in 2005). The version I've got is consisted of 6 epidodes, (6 DVD's). The Air War is described in the 3rd episode... The two obvious mistakes that still stand out in my memory were the "red" triplane and British Sidcot pilot overalls colored RAF blue-gray, (their original color was a khaki drill kind of light brown). But back then I was not so much into WWI aviation. As a matter of fact I'm just scraching it's surface.
