WWI’s Deadliest Pilots: The Red Baron VS Georges Guynemer | SLICE WHO | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Video Description

Winter 1914. As war raged in the trenches, a new kind of warrior emerged—the fighter pilot. For young men with nerves of steel and a thirst for adventure, the skies became both battlefield and stage. By 1916, the Battle of Verdun pushed aerial combat into a new era. Aviation evolved from a tool of reconnaissance to a deadly weapon. France and Germany glorified their top aces, turning them into national icons. Georges Guynemer, the determined French hero, battled against Germany’s Manfred von Richthofen, the ruthless and calculated Red Baron. Meanwhile, France’s René Fonck, despite his natural skill, struggled to prove himself. These men lived—and died—by their machines, their courage shaping the legend of the fighter ace.
