Several Hours added to my "Watch List"

The Red Baron
Europe, 1916. Baron Manfred von Richthofen is, at the age of just 24, the crack pilot of the German aerial combat forces - a legend in his own time, a hero at home and a man both feared and respected by the enemy. But even for this living legend, each new combat mission could be his last...

During WWI, in the space of 6 months - the bloodiest of the war - a group of young pilots transformed the role of the aeroplane into a deadly killing machine that changed the nature of warfare forever. This is the story of those 6 months, centring around Bloody April during which the average life expectancy of a pilot was reduced to just 3 weeks.

The Aces' War --- There seems to be only 1 season though
August 1914. One month after the outbreak of World War I, Paris is bombarded by German airplanes. Parisians witness a whole new type of warfare. Aviators, known as inventors and daredevils, were now at the forefront of a new age of weaponry and war. In this fascinating series, five pilots from France, Germany, and Britain take us into the world of the greatest "flying aces" of the First World War.

Baron Von Richthofen: The Red Baron
Manfred Von Richtofen, the Red Baron, was the greatest fighter ace of World War One and perhaps the most famous fighter pilot of all time. Credited with 80 air combat victories, more than any other WWI pilot, he was a brilliant tactician and led his "Flying Circus" to unparalleled success before being shot down and killed in April 1918 at the age of just 25.

These were the titles that were free. I would prefer to see a more broad selection. Obviously, these selections are "Red Baron Heavy"... I did quick cursory scan to see if this has been discussed elsewhere, and while i am really sure it has been, i did not find it. What are some other shows, documentaries, etc. you all enjoyed?
