Was the Pfalz from Blue Max?


In the opening scene, Von Richthofen is shown flying a Pfalz D.III, flying too low and hitting his undercarriage against a tree. Was that plane a leftover from "The Blue Max," which had been made about 5 years earlier? P.S. In real life, Von Richthofen is not known to have ever flown the Pfalz, at least not in action.

Don't know, but i'm a member of feldgrau.com, there is a thread dedicated to movies and tv shows, you could try that. I'll check it out in the next few days. It's a great site, along with another I'm a member of, forum.axishistory.com and worldwartwozone, and germanwarmachine.com. Try those, I'm sure you'll like them!
