00:02He is an airline pilot in Lévis and he is passionate, truly passionate, about aeronautical archaeology, about the
00:12World War I aircraft.
00:15And he's the only guy in the world who not only rebuilds World War I aircraft, and
00:23that it's the engine of his DR1, it's a rotary engine.
00:28Look at that, we're going to see the Red Baron of the world. It's fabulous. This flight demonstration, there, it
00:36is unique in the world.
00:38Nobody in the world is piloting anyone else, piloting planes from that era.
00:43First, planes that are not simple replicas, that is to say, planes that look alike.
00:48But this remarkable reproduction of these aircraft, this Fokker DR1, could have rolled off Anthony Fokker's production line in 1927.
00:59and be entrusted to a squadron of this aircraft, this DR1,
01:06that you just heard, the engine that went "plop," that.
01:11This is an engine that you can't tweak with a normal throttle.
01:19It's starting up again.
01:22Yes, it's called the "blick" and it produces what you just heard.
01:28When you hear what you hear now, everything is fine.
01:34He's crazy, Mickaël Carossa, a crazy Swede.
01:40The engine is therefore a gnomon engine.
01:44The engine uses noise to make people believe there is a glass cutter, two glass cutters at first.
01:50In fact, there are generators that make noise, gas generators that make noise,
01:53but Mickaël pilots this plane exactly as it was flown by German pilots in the First World War
02:03and among them the most famous of all, undoubtedly the most famous fighter pilot of all time
02:09aeronautical saga of history,
02:12Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron.
