Bat Out of Hell: Spliced with a WWI biplane, this is what von Richthofen's squadron are transformed into.Except not only are they vampires (making them excellent night pilots) to match up to the Allies' slightly better squad of aces (which includes Expies of The Shadow, Biggles, and Captain Midnight, along with real life British ace Albert Ball) the squad is modified by science and elder vampire blood into giant bat fliers wearing machine-gun rigs. Badass Crew: The Red Baron leads a squad of German fliers who are all vampires and aces, much like the real life Jagdgeschwader 1 the Baron led.

Dracula has a Hungarian body double/decoy named Bela.

Someone speculates that if it weren't for all these vampires, maybe World War I wouldn't have happened.

In real life he was known to be pretty jocular and friendly (the change might be a side effect of his vampirization).

Adaptational Jerkass: The Red Baron is portrayed as stiff, humorless, and almost pitiably uncomfortable in social situations.

Ace Pilot: Biggles, Captain Midnight and The Shadow go up against the Red Baron, Hans von Hammer and Airboy's ally the Heap.
