Jasta 11 in NZ...


-Recently, there was an AirShow in New Zealand with no less than 7 Repro Fokker DR-1 Triplanes, all in Jasta 11 Colours!
What happened to the good ol' days when WW1 Air War movies were made, using REAL Aeroplanes?!
..& as for Canadian Roy Brown shooting down the Red Baron...well, Canadians ARE Half-American now, aren't they?!
A recent Docu. on the Red Baron on the "Histor" Ch where the Relatives of Von Richtofen were interviewed, they all emphatically denied that a "mere Drunken
Colonial Vegemite sanga Convict Stock Aussie Yobbo" could shoot down Germany's Greatest Air Ace.
Personally? I reckon Von Richtofen would of appreciated that fact that it was a mere Foot Slogger in the mud that shot him! He was a Hunter, himself. "One Shot, One Kill"
Lets ask the guy on the various WW1 Chat Sites that reckons he's the Reincarnation of the Red Baron! He'll KNOW!!

May God save us all from the impostor!

Just kidding...



And as to the neverending debate on who killed von Richthofen: when I showed the trailer to a friend the other day, I read a youtube comment (presumably by a Brit) that just hit the spot:

"Just be glad it wasn't a Yank who shot him down. We'd never hear the end of it."
