Yahoo posted this preview "Red Baron"
While it definitely doesn't look completely historically accurate, it looks a lot better
than "Fly Boys"

Re: Red Baron The Movie
Interesting trailor, but I think you need to see the whole film to whether it is any good.
Any historical inaccuracies should set alarm bells ringing.

Re: Red Baron The Movie
I always hold off complete judgments until I see a move, but the trailer looks a lot better than
a recent released movie called "Fly Boys"
As to its historical accuracy, The planes for the period look very accurate, truly from the trailer the best
I have seen in film. Especially showing Richthofen flying other aircraft besides just the Dr.1 Triplane
that he is most known for.
The sequence in the trailer of the Zeppelin battle seems way over done and more Hollywood.
Though I'll make a final call after seeing the movie and looking into the actual events to
see if the movie is historically accurate.
Like a I said, my first impression are good compared to movies done on World War I
aviation movies done in the last 40 years.

Re: Red Baron The Movie
It has inconsistencies with History:
1. Richtofen became interested in flying only after cavalry became obsolete in the first stages of WWI. His rank was from a cavalry unit anyway. There is no recolection of "flying dreams".
2. Richtofen almost always aimed to the pilot and not the plane, which makes his speech only "political correct".
3. There are few accounts of romantic involvements in his life.
4. He was not "one of the greatest" but "the greatest". It´s obvious that the sentence was composed in order not to arise the protest of allied fans.

As I said above any historical inaccuracies should set alarm bells ringing. That it is sanitised by some degree of political correctness shouldn't occassion any surprise, it is when history itself is changed to fit the plot that it becomes true fiction.....
