May 19, 201412 yr Author comment_10820 There are definitely some amazing shots in it. Things I've never seen before. It looks like it's a compilation of film done in a couple of volumes. Some of the footage looks like it was taken from before September 1917. And other parts look like they're from October 1918. I give those dates because of who the film includes. You can see Werner Voss at 20:12 in his Dr.1 (Fok FI 103/17). He died in September 1917. You can also see a post-head wound Manfred von Richthofen, starting at 21:44. First with his father Albrecht (I think). Then with his own pilots (probably Jasta 11) on the stairs to what I think is Roucourt Castle. And then with his dog Moritz (and Moritz' canine friends) on the steps to what I think is Roucourt Castle. The film also includes Hermann Göring in his red and white Fokker D.VII, seen in cockpit at 3:56, and then later on the ground, holding Richthofen's old geschwaderstock (walking stick). Jasta 6 is prominently shown at 2:00, with their Fokker D.VIIs. They show up again at 5:11. Jasta 11's Fokker D.VIIs show up at 2:58. I haven't had the chance to watch all of it. But I can already tell you that I unfortunately don't recognize all of the pilots. Perhaps others can (Lee or Butzzell?). Report
