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.

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!

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.

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?

@raypurchase801 2 года назад

That's not an FE2B! Surely it's a BE2. (Please correct me if I'm mistaken, or correct the titling.)

@RonLWilson 2 года назад

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.

@Channel-os4uk Год назад

Not sure a lumbering BE2 could 'dogfight.'..

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.
