Blair and Holly both seemed confused by the Red Baron's number of downed planes being "low" compared to what they expected, but 80 aerial victories is unimaginably impressive. A pilot is considered an "ace" as soon as they achieve 5 victories - which is already an amazing feat. It's worth remembering that the cost of defeat in aerial combat is your life - or at the very least your flying career. You don't get to win one, lose one, win a couple, lose another, etc. You have to keep winning without ever losing once.

True, and in addition to that, we are talking about the time in which at the beginning of the war most countries fighting didn't even have more than a dozen airplanes in total. At the end of the war 200 000 aircraft were used, but at the beginning most countries didn't even HAVE 80. The Red Baron picked up a very deadly skill very quickly, and mastered it.

@@rigdigwus Your odds of surviving if you're shot down are only about 50%. Even just getting involved in TWO losing dog fights means you're three times more likely to be dead than alive.

Although, Sully WAS wrong about "controlling the guns by hand" for the most part. Like, yes, early dog-fighting was done with literally dudes with a rifle in a bi-plane, but for at least a good portion of the Red Barron's career they had already figured out how to mount guns directly onto the planes without shooting their own propeller out.

The Germans were one of the few nations that figured an incredible fighter pilot needed to fly fighter missions as long as he could. Conversely other nations were of the mind that when a pilot, or any other specialist, did something great, he should be pulled from the line to teach others to be great. This led to better trained and often better equipped soldiers on one side, while the other had their hero and a few thousand bunglers. Then there was the Russian approach which could basically be summed up as "if we throw enough people at it the enemy will be buried under our corpses."
