Is this the Indy series where young Jones tries to lure Anthony Fokker to the Allied side? Also featured is a gigantic multi-engined experimental plane introduced by a rival to Fokker? It's a great spectacle, that episode.

Now if we could just get a history of the Aerodrome............

Any history of The Aerodrome has to include The Novel, a vastly convoluted and hugely entertaining assemblage of The Usual Suspects from the dark ages of this site. I think it's still accessible.

About the only thing missing is alligator wrestling, and I'm not so sure about that!

Probably the first depiction of Richthofen as a short, slight Prussian. What a second, HE WAS a short, slight Prussian!

Would this set of DVD's be based on the short-lived TV series about the Young Indiania Jones?? If I remember correctly, Indy served as a courier in the Belgian Army, but had very little to do with any airplanes.

I think it is related to the failure series, but I'm not sure. I'll check out the link.

EDIT:

Yeah, it is. I saw that they mentioned Sean Patrick Flanery. My grand-nephew bought the originals, but they weren't very good at all, and for $75.00, who will buy these DVD's?
