WW I Dogfight Reenactment (with gunfire) - Fokker Dr.1 vs. FVM Ö1 Tummelisa 

Cheers for sharing! Making jets look boring again ;)

*rock blocks plane plane: YEET

Its incredible how lightweight they look in the video, excellent work!

bill 012 you see with these type of aircraft compared to way heavier aircraft today, it probably took these pilots a really long time to understand the ways of the plane. I.e. because it’s more lightweight, it can turn way more easily and tighter, and stalling won’t be a huge problem.

😂

Låter som svensk humor för 100 år sedan. Idag hade det inte funkat 🤣

😂😂

Not really a boy's name, Tummeliten (translated: Little Thumb) is the Swedish version of fairy tale character Tom Thumb.

@@charleshultquist9233 Its really a fairytale name, being as long as a thumb would not pass Swedish standards. And in Grimms fairytale Tummeliten is a boy.

Based on what I've read of von Richthofen's tactics, you generally *didn't* see him on your tail. He preached attacking from blind spots. Your first indication would be the sound of two MG08s ripping through your plane.

@Delta X surely most planes could outdive the slow, draggy dr1!

@Delta X Again, from what I've read, the DR1 wasn't a particularly fast aircraft, but it turned very well, and it could out-climb anything that was available when it was introduced or just after. But it didn't dive well and tended to strip off the upper wing if it went too fast. Once allied pilots got a feel for it's weaknesses, the DR1's effectiveness in combat dropped significantly. And later aircraft like the Sopwith Camel, later Spads, SE5 etc easily outflew it as long as the pilot didn't play to the DR1's tune.

Especially if the Pilots name was Manfred von Richtofen.

Risky move, but stall by a bridge and try to get your plane to fall on it

And the. The plane you bet on loosing crashes flying towards you

That happened a lot lol

Benjamin Sigouin I meant dogfights in general. Not based off of the actual planes.

Boba Fett I got that reference

Oy tom I bet you five ciggarette cases that red one's gonna smoke off the blue ones

Well real life guns sounds like extra loud firecrackers. Both are small explosion, it should be obvious. There's also rattling but it's not nearly as loud as the bangs so you can't hear it.

@@michaelbuckers I... it's a... joke...

@@ds_lyst05 I know it's a joke. I'm doing public service of mansplaining facts to people whose only knowledge of firearms comes from movies and videogames.

Haha so funny...NOT

drmeoth he’s right about the gunfire, blanks are also way quieter then live rounds because there’s no projectiles breaking the sound barrier making a snapping noise.

It actually has a good reason for it, due to limited tech this was one of the best ways to increase maneuverability and lift meaning it could turn faster, carry heavier loads and fly at lower speeds. It was one of the best planes of ww1

@@LowFlyer Correct. The“red baron“ was famous for being able to turn on a dime.

Bro, you want wings? Google Caproni Ca.60

lmfao

@@TheNumber86 That's just magnificent XD

Thats fascinating stuff, thank you for sharing

Ww1 plane is easier to maneuver I think

And gifted pilot too

The Fokker Dr-1 has a fair few shortcomings but you can't deny how cool it looks. Even divorcing it from the legendary Baron it's still a really cool looking aircraft. Of course it can't actually fly as fast as biplanes but the turning radius means better maneuverability in the sky. It's funny to me to look at these old planes compared to modern jet fighter craft because it's a bit comparing italian luxury speed cars to a go kart.

BUT .... IS cgi

Christopher Reed German with the SS did way worst...

@@CanadaKingracing SS weren't around in WW1...

@@CanadaKingracing You are mixing things up very badly my friend...

Scar Wing they were in WW2

Luca Bazooka wym ?

He`s fine. Plane looks repairable. Pretty sure it will fly again soon.

@@PaddyPatrone I hope so

Whole hell of a lot of damage to that plane even though it doesnt look too bad. Both wings need replacing, along with the rudder and that's assuming none of the structural components of the fuselage were damaged (which they shouldnt have been). If it was a modern plane, it'd more than likely be written off

PaddyPatrone wait they were actually shooting at each other. How is that legal

@@geonosiancommander9262 No, it’s just sounds I believe

Roman candles

@@PeacemakerTheGreat Humour, some people are gifted with it, some not. Q.E.D.

@@midgetman4206 Nothing is more fun that Roman candle minigun Shame they banned Small roman candles here in Finland due people were having Wizard fights Our goverment solution: *Only allow sale of Big Roman Candles* Those things kick hard

@@jarskil8862 man, why are people in charge so weird. Also, is there a way to remove the individual pieces? If so then wouldn't it be cool to make a gun prop that uses the Roman candle to mimic bullets?

@@jarskil8862 in december 31, 2016 i lost a t-shirt and a lot of hair to a roman candle duel. it was the most awesome thing ever. Sad you guys cannot do it anymore :(

Tummeliten and after it turned into "Lisa" because she goes on her back easily....

at least until the engine caught fire. It had a rotary engine, the fluids are not enclosed like an inline engine. A rotary literally spits it's lubricating oil out as it runs. One of the reasons for the scarf, to keep wiping your goggles so you can see clearly while flying. So having the engine inverted, and hot has a higher chance of fire then inlines.

And he's flying...HIGHER!!!!

@@BullGator-kd6ge I'm surprised someone got this 😂

@@drpork1360 I'm surprised someone hasn't responded finishing the line

AWESOME song,we play a few songs from Sabaton!!!! On a aviation note, the Dr1 has a unbelievable turning radius which makes it a very deadly plane!!!

@@icedragon642 I agree, cause I was surprised of how tightly it turned.

And in the case of Sopwith

Martijn Mulder its a shame that displays like this are so rare, its a hell of a preformance

Imagine if they did this in some wwii planes

In 50 years we will paint another one red and Attack the natives of the Mars .

50 years after landing on the moon six times and no one has gone back, let that sink in

And fast too!

@@tnapeepeelu Actually, the DRI was very maneuverable, but very slow compared to some of its contemporaries like the SE5A, the SPAD XIII, the Fokker DVII and DVIII.

​@glennrichmond6358 and slower means easier to hit from air attack and in Richthoven's case, groundfire.

I think the “blip stick” shut off the ignition circuit. You generally ran the risk of fouling spark plugs if you blipped it for too long because fuel was still going into the cylinders.

Throttle was changeable. The *mixture* (fuel to air mixture) was 1 setting. If the throttle was only 1 setting, the thing would rush to takeoff speed the moment you handpropped it and youd be dead.

@@davecrupel2817 Actually no, monosoupape type rotaries have not throttle control whatsever, only a fuel mix regulator which doesn't do all that much other than making it run lean or rich. You either used the blip stick or in some of them you could change ignition timing so that cylinders were only fired every 2 to 3 rotations of the engine. Later they used bloctubes to control air inlet, basically a choke, but even then it was usually on full open and the fuel supply was cut on final approach for landing with no blips to prevent fouling of the plugs. A rotary does start at full throttle with the mix set to rich , it's up to the pilot to blip it to prevent killing the mechanic. They also don't exactly rush to take off speed. This clip of a sopwith startup and take off by Historical Aviation Film Unit clearly shows this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hq78ZocOAkY.html

@@MrLothsmodelmaking Well I'll be damned. You learn something new every day. I appreciate the correction, kind stranger. :)

@@davecrupel2817 My pleasure, they are little known engines nowadays. My interest in them is mainly because i live 10min drive from a local airfield that used to be a German Aerodrome in both wars and in the first one Richthofen was stationed there briefly. hence the fascination :)

the Cobra is going for the Blue Max and nothing will get in his way

lol

That flip was not planned. 😅

Ground crew should have been on stand by with a hand truck to help these pilots hull away there giant balls after the flight

You mean: "Military Aviation" Aviation is cool even nowadays. But air to air combat got boring because dogfights is getting rare...

Dazu kam noch das grauenhafte Wetter. Die Regenschirme haben dann das Bild versperrt.

There’s a reason the Red Baron used it.

Russians never reveal their secrets 🤫

German things? Fokker however was a Dutchman, and Fokker aircraft are therefore Dutch as well.

I’m an Englishman and am also very interested in Germany and German culture. I have many German friends so learning their language is also just out of mutual respect

@@maartenj.vermeulen900 That doesn't matter)

@@doctorgradus3291 Well, it does matter, Dutch and German is not the same... 🤣

He's flying too fast and he's flying too high

Higher, an eye for an eye, the legend will never die

Exept it isn't

they both have original rotary engines

bullshit

@@shaunmorrissey7313 How?

Yep: a small one between the two front wheels.
