[SPEAKER_02] Before I got to Europe, I had never seen an airplane in real life.
[SPEAKER_02] High above, they twisted and turned like flocks of birds dancing.
[SPEAKER_02] There was a romance around the pilots, these new swashbucklers of the skies.
[SPEAKER_02] But the reality was, most of these brave young men would eventually end up back on the ground in twisted smoking wrecks.
[SPEAKER_01] the allies are losing one air Germany's Air Force dominates the Western Front with a range of
[SPEAKER_01] superior aircrafts and a roster of famed ace pilots each claiming score of kills Britain's
[SPEAKER_01] Royal Flying Air Corps a steady flow of new aircraft designs are launched into the skies
[SPEAKER_01] above war-torn threats new innovations are a gamble some are effective some are not if
[SPEAKER_01] Aviators risk their life with unproven technologies.
[SPEAKER_01] Those that beat the odds either adapt quickly or are lucky.
[SPEAKER_04] I have nothing left to bet.
[SPEAKER_04] You idiot.
[SPEAKER_02] The plane.
[SPEAKER_04] It's rich.
[SPEAKER_05] Oh, why the hell not?
[SPEAKER_04] I got you beaten anyway.
[SPEAKER_04] What have you got?
[SPEAKER_03] Why the donuts not?
[SPEAKER_04] Wipe your mouth,
[SPEAKER_04] Blackburn.
[SPEAKER_00] That wasn't supposed to happen.
[SPEAKER_00] But you know what?
[SPEAKER_00] I'll be taking that plane anyway.
[SPEAKER_04] What the bloody hell!
[SPEAKER_05] You lost, I beat you!
[SPEAKER_03] Bloody donuts!
[SPEAKER_00] It's a very beautiful airplane and...
[SPEAKER_01] Oh no!
[SPEAKER_00] You're kind of a jackass.
[SPEAKER_05] I beat you fair and square god damn it!
[SPEAKER_05] You can't do this to me, I beat you!
[SPEAKER_05] I beat you!
[SPEAKER_00] My name is Clyde Blackburn.
[SPEAKER_00] I'm a pilot and a gambler.
[SPEAKER_00] I'm George Rackham!
[SPEAKER_03] I'm George bloody Rackham!
[SPEAKER_03] What is going on in hell?
[SPEAKER_05] Come on, let's get this kite up in the air.
[SPEAKER_05] You're George Rackham, son of the 4th Earl of Windsor.
[SPEAKER_01] That's right.
[SPEAKER_05] Pip pip, the little bean.
[SPEAKER_00] The Bristol was everything it was advertised to be.
[SPEAKER_00] A pure joy to fly.
[SPEAKER_00] It was a crisp, sunny day and everything would have been perfect had I only been alone.
[SPEAKER_00] Hey back there, it's a great day for a picnic, don't you think?
[SPEAKER_05] Right, you see that crane up ahead? You need to catch up with it!
[SPEAKER_05] Yeah, yeah! So listen, I know this little French place, maybe we can pick up a couple of girls...
[SPEAKER_00] What are you talking about? Girls? This is a test flight! You need to follow the route that crane is setting for you!
[SPEAKER_00] Okay, you're the boss, apparently.
[SPEAKER_01] F-2A is a new aircraft design.
[SPEAKER_03] Pursued Allied Aircrafts
[SPEAKER_01] Stay close to the friendly fighter to fill up the couch

[SPEAKER_00] Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_00] Close the gap.
[SPEAKER_00] Piece of cake!
[SPEAKER_00] Let's see how she handles in a gun fight!
[SPEAKER_05] Guns are unsafe just in case you get some fancy ideas!
[SPEAKER_05] You're starting to get me! How sweet!
[SPEAKER_05] The Bristol will handle like the other plate. Less throttle, meaning they'll make tighter turns.
[SPEAKER_05] We'll see how she handles in a gun fight!
[SPEAKER_00] Guns are unsafe, just in case you get some fancy ideas!
[SPEAKER_00] You're starting to get me!
[SPEAKER_00] How sweet!
[SPEAKER_00] The snow will handle like the other blades. Less throttle means you can make tighter turns.
[SPEAKER_05] Let's see what else he's got.
[SPEAKER_00] Just stay with it!
[SPEAKER_00] I'm having fun!
[SPEAKER_05] You're having fun, yeah?

[SPEAKER_03] I'm having fun too!
[SPEAKER_03] I'm having fun too!

[SPEAKER_05] Where's he going now? Leave him. See those target balloons? Weapons check. Fire at will.
[SPEAKER_00] I can do that.
[SPEAKER_05] This is one heck of a party.
[SPEAKER_00] There are still no balloons moving in fire!
[SPEAKER_00] Roger that.
[SPEAKER_05] You see those targets on the ground?
[SPEAKER_00] Yeah, I see them.
[SPEAKER_00] Try using the rockets on them.

[SPEAKER_01] Yeah, don't get your knickers in the way.
[SPEAKER_01] De lepel heb ik ook gemaakt, die is lekker.
[SPEAKER_03] Dit betekent dat ik elke dag soep kan eten.
[SPEAKER_00] Fritz is on our tail! Move! Move!
[SPEAKER_00] Where'd he come from?

[SPEAKER_00] Come on, Jerry. Come and get it.
[SPEAKER_00] Come and get it, Jerry.
[SPEAKER_00] All right, I admit it, you know what you're doing.
[SPEAKER_05] Who do you think I am?
[SPEAKER_00] Of course I know what I'm doing.
[SPEAKER_05] Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00] He's going down!
[SPEAKER_05] Where do you think he's going?
[SPEAKER_05] That's it! And we're going after him!
[SPEAKER_05] The hell with me!
[SPEAKER_03] to Donuts with Faves.
[SPEAKER_00] we accidentally discovered where germans were keeping their relations for half the western front
[SPEAKER_00] and wilson's pictures would help hq launch a major assault there was one problem i'm not
[SPEAKER_00] sure about this come on we did a great thing we'll get medals for this we weren't even supposed to be
[SPEAKER_00] there when the commander sees these pictures he won't care
[SPEAKER_00] We did a great thing.
[SPEAKER_00] We can do it again.
[SPEAKER_04] I'll make you a deal.
[SPEAKER_04] If we pile up on this, then you need to promise me
[SPEAKER_04] that you'll get me back in one piece.
[SPEAKER_04] Sure thing.
[SPEAKER_04] Promise. I need your word.
[SPEAKER_00] Okay, I promise.
[SPEAKER_04] Stay here.
[SPEAKER_04] And don't cause any trouble.
[SPEAKER_00] You know, I did like the guy.
[SPEAKER_00] But he was kinda naive.
[SPEAKER_04] Sir, you might want to take a look at this.
[SPEAKER_01] Saints of Light, your man must be one hell of a pilot.
[SPEAKER_00] Before we knew it, we were back in the air.
[SPEAKER_00] Our mission? To clear the way for the bombers so they could blow that fortress all to hell.
[SPEAKER_00] First, we'd have to down the barrage clips.
[SPEAKER_00] Just imagine being a lookout on a limb.
[SPEAKER_00] Bad luck, Fritz.
[SPEAKER_00] Next, we'd have to deal with their anti-aircraft trucks.
[SPEAKER_00] The assault was already in full swing when we got there.
[SPEAKER_00] We'd have to deal with all those defenses,
[SPEAKER_00] then escort our bombers to their target when they arrived.
[SPEAKER_00] Tall order.
[SPEAKER_00] But victory here could change the course of the whole damn war, they said.
[SPEAKER_01] Safe to say, Wilson is less than thrilled.
[SPEAKER_05] Now we're actually doing this, it feels really dangerous.
[SPEAKER_00] Trust me.
[SPEAKER_05] me. And buckle yourself in, baby.
[SPEAKER_00] Down those blips! Clear the way for our
[SPEAKER_05] fellas! Easy enough.
[SPEAKER_00] Watch my back.
[SPEAKER_00] Jericho, I got a tail!
[SPEAKER_00] Don't waste time destroying the bridge!
[SPEAKER_05] Find us!
[SPEAKER_05] It's important that you're alive!
[SPEAKER_00] Alright, don't get carried away!
[SPEAKER_05] What's the matter? They need to sit down, those blimps!
[SPEAKER_00] I'll get to it, don't worry!
[SPEAKER_03] Twee schoten om een zeppelin neer te halen.

[SPEAKER_05] That's one less to worry about!
[SPEAKER_05] You got it!

[SPEAKER_03] De bombers zijn er!
[SPEAKER_05] We've lost the bomber! They have to make it to the fortress, or this mission is buzzed!

[SPEAKER_00] Thank you.
[SPEAKER_05] Huh?
[SPEAKER_01] Ja.

[SPEAKER_00] Down you go.
[SPEAKER_00] Let's give him an escort.
[SPEAKER_00] May the Lord be with you.
[SPEAKER_00] What a melter!
[SPEAKER_05] The fortress is taking a pounding. Not much left of it now.
[SPEAKER_00] Those troops will wreak havoc on our bombers!
[SPEAKER_01] Oh, it's that one.
[SPEAKER_00] What do you mean, don't they?
[SPEAKER_00] There is one behind us!
[SPEAKER_05] Whoa, he's good, isn't he?

[SPEAKER_00] The bird was busted. She buried her nose in no man's land a half mile due west of where I went down.
[SPEAKER_00] Wilson, the poor sap, didn't make it out. But that was his bad luck.
[SPEAKER_00] I had more presser problems.
