Movie (1966)
Starring:
George Peppard (Lt. Bruno Stachel)
James Mason (General Count von Klugermann)
Ursula Andress (Countess Kaeti von Klugermann)
Jeremy Kemp (Willi von Klugermann)
Karl Michael Vogler (Colonel Otto Heidemann)
A young pilot in the German air force of 1918, disliked as lower-class and unchivalrous, tries ambitiously to earn the medal offered for 20 kills.
De Havilland DH-82A Tiger Moth
Anachronistic and unlikely DH-82 Tiger Moth in German and British air forces colours.
Fokker D VII
Made for movie replicas built by Rousseau Aviation of Dinard (Ille et Vilaine -35 France).
Pfalz D III
Authentic aircraft still flying 49 years later its production. The D III was powered with 6 cylinder Daimler engine. Around 500 aircraft built in 1917 and 1918.
Fokker Dr.I
Replica of the famous Red Baron's aircraft.
There are some other replicas visible with normal camouflage liveries.
Morane Saulnier MS.230
Presented in the story as an advanced new prototype of german aircraft industry, faster and very maneuverable, it is given to handles of ace Bruno Stachel (G.Peppard). But airplane is not perfectly settled yet, and Bruno Stachel will crash and die in it. Actually, the aircraft is anachronistic for a WWII story, being in fact a 1929 french Morane Saulnier MS.230, a successful training airplane of the 30’s built at around 1100 samples.
Unidentified Aircraft
Currie Wot
In fact Currie Wot, aerobatic british aircraft of the 30’s modified to looking alike R.A.F S.E.5.
Formation of S.E.5 replicas, but background airplanes are De Havilland Tiger Moth.
