In the version, The Birth of Air Combat. I saw a WW1 aircraft that I do not know what it is,plus I can't find it anywere! In the movie,the plane is found when they are showing footage of the flying circus and telling about the Baron. It shows him fighting a plane in checkered colors. The plane in checkered colors is the plane I have no idea what it is. I hope someone knows the series and the plane im talking about!

I haven't seen the series, and this is a total shot in the dark, but could it have been Rhinebeck's Avro 504K?

No its not that. The plane is a single seater fighter, but its wierd because its wings are not strait but bent slighty.

That footage is from a German film of 1938 (Jasta 88?) and the aircraft is a Bucker 131. The Fokker DrI in the sequence is genuine so your confusion is understandable.
