Re: My Air Combat movies list - additions are welcome
Yes, in the "Blue Max", at the end of the film, the Morane Saulnier 230 is supposed to be a Fokker D VIII. But the scene remembers a real one which took place on the 3rd July 1918, at Berlin Adlersdorf airfield. That day, Goering flies a prototype, a Zeppelin-Lindau (Dornier) D1. Reinhard, the Richthofen's successor, wants to try it just after, and... a wing breaks loose; Reinhard is killed ! Goering will replace him at the head of the JG 1.
