Who composed the music for Red Baron II (Red Baron 3D), what are the names of the songs?
I absolutely LOVE the shell music for Red Baron II (remastered as Red Baron 3D)--some of the best march music I ever heard. Unfortunately, I have no idea who wrote the music, or the names of the tracks.
The music can be heard here. The YouTuber who posted the video also stated they did not know who wrote the music.
YouTuber Rolf Orwar Strid commented five years ago that the first track is from The Great Escape. However, in response, YouTuber dixievfd55 clarified stating that it was the Hell's Angels patch that used the Great Escape theme. The theme can be heard here, but upon a close listen, they are in fact different despite the very close similarity (note the momentary pause [more like a hesitation] that recurs in the refrain, for instance). A relationship between the two may exist, but these are at least two different recordings, likely played by two different orchestras, and quite possibly written by different composers (marches do have a tendency to sound quite similar to one another).
Additional note: if it were the case that the theme came from The Great Escape, this would still leave two of three tracks unaccounted for.
Another YouTuber, Halkalooki , comments "I posted a while back on the simhq Red Baron forum asking if anyone knew who was playing this excellent music. I have the RB3D manual and they are not named in the game credits.". I was unable to find the aforementioned post or any relevant data on SimHQ.
I briefly looked over PCGamingWiki's page for Red Baron 3D, but did not find any relevant information.
MobyGames' page for the Red Baron 3D credits was fairly detailed, but made no mention of a composer or soundtracks.
