00:00 When I became a pilot, I truly thought I'd see everything from up there.
00:05 The wind blows around you, the smell of the engine, the draft of the propeller.
00:10 I've dreamt of it since I was a little boy.
00:15 Up there you can let yourself fall, you can climb, turn, spin.
00:23 Freedom.
00:25 The best part is the chase, the fight, the hunt.
00:41 Our task is to bring down aeroplanes, not men.
00:46 We are sportsmen, not butchers.
00:51 So now you want to win a war without killing anyone, huh?
00:53 We're not boys anymore, we're grown men fighting a bloody war!
00:58 Lieutenant?
01:01 The name is von Richthofen.
01:03 I know your name.
01:05 The pilot you shot down.
01:06 He told me you are a supreme professional.
01:10 And a tricky rascal.
01:15 Tell me, they come up with these strange new names for you.
01:18 The Diablo Rorschach, the Red Baron.
01:21 Why is that?
01:25 They'll spot you from a long way off.
01:29 We'd completely lose the advantage of surprise.
01:31 I don't want them to be surprised.
01:33 I want them to be scared.
01:37 It's childish dreams that got your friend killed.
01:43 I pity you.
01:47 It's not a game.
01:52 This is the lowest we will ever get.
01:58 We'll never get starker.
