This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future
Thought a lot of you would be interested in this interesting article... it discusses some of the unusual social factors behind the new Red Baron movie and why von Richthofen hasn't been a hero in his own country since WW2. Very interesting food for thought.
Even thought he movie will surely be dramatized a bit, I still hope that it will at least bring WWI aviation and the early history of air combat to the public consciousness a bit more.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story, first time I've heard of this one:
A third German theory claims that the Red Baron climbed out of his plane after the crash only to be stabbed to death by "British colonial troops".
