Movies of WWI aircraft

[meissner]

I was watching the Discovery Wings Channel last night and they had some excellent footage of two ground crewmen loading up a Breuget with bombs. You could see the mechanism and the procedure very clearly. They also showed a Caproni ca.3 starting up , taxiing and taking off. It got me wondering if there is a compiled list of all known footage of WWI planes in operation.

Anybody know?

I saw some footage of an Eindecker on a Discovery program... I think it was part of the "flying coffins" program or something like that.

there was a series called World War one in colour, it had about an hour or 1/2 hour episode totally dedicated to aviation.
there was even some colour film of MvR, lucky, other wise we might not have known what colour his DR. 1 was....lol !

Actual the footage was colourised not real colour film. And actually the "Red" was quite wrong. If you go to the books and films section you'll find a thread discussing the program.
