Red Baron/Blue Max is my favourite song from the Iced Earth album The Glorious Burden. This video is comprised of footage taken (without permission) from two movies. The first is the 2006 flick Flyboys, and the 2nd being none other then the late 2008 German film The Red Baron. It took me awhile, but here it is at last. Hope you like it.

The son of a major, Prussian nobleman

His name bestowed by a holy Roman

The war broke out, so he looked to the air

24 hours of training and he was there

100 miles an hour

Top speed his plane would fly

And if he flew behind you

You know you're sure to die

80 kills that are confirmed

While other pilots had so much

More to learn

Chorus:

The red baron, blue max

The albatross flies high

The red baron, blue max

He's got you in his sights

The red battle flyer, red like fire

He sees no faces, he's the ace of aces

His British quarry flew a reckless flight

A shot from the ground took the red baron's life

He flew with honor, he flew with pride

In 1918 the battle flyer died

Chorus

The lyrics are pretty amateurish, but I appreciate the effort. There should be more songs about WW1.

Your right. In the film 'The Blue Max', it was real flying. In the bridge sequence a man named Derek Piggott flew the parts of both German pilots. He also worked in 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' and 'Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines'. He is a rather famous glider pilot. And was Chief Flying Instructor at the club where I learned to fly.

That section at about 2: 35 fills me with an uncontrollable urge to start a circle pit and absolutely destroy somebody.

@Volcanoran3 It is most likely that guns on the ground got MvR, and it he beat him self piloting by breaking his own rules by flying so low over enemy held ground with no good escape.
