Please make a video on the legendary clashes between spitfires and zeros over Darwin in 1943 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Military Aviation History why did the Austrian-Hungarian’s not use Albatross V?

What German WW1 plane would you say was the most advanced or the best?

If you ever get the chance, you should come to Ohio and visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force.

Is this an actual, restored model, or a replica? The finish and condition is tremendously good.

Zeppelins, maybe?

Son Of Sobieski would’ve been the big Handley Page bombers.

I'd have assumed it was carried by a bomber or bigger aircraft type than by a fighter

It’s going to be a zeppelin sttaken bomber

1 ton is even big for a bomber at the time, although im not an expert this is my gut feeling

This, please.

I agree

I was about to say the same and saw your comment. Absolutely agreed. Superbly researched and well made episode.

+1. It would be great to see some Shuttleworth/Old Warden planes get some attention in the 'Bismarck documentary' -style.

I agree. I would also like to see more interwar plane documentaries.

I always imagine what a cross between the DV fuselage and Junkers CL1 wings would have performed like.

I love the propellor hub

Wow!That would of been a great sight to see to see!

And you should go to Wairarapa in New Zealand and HEAR it...sounded like a stud farm for locomotive diesels. On its own!

It was the BF-109 of the First World War.

And fast with the right engine, 200 km/h, about 100 knots.

@Dale Carey I'd put a small straight-8 in it, super and turbocharged. Make it capable of 10G and 270mph. Yes, open cockpit.

@Dale Carey JATO

@Dale Carey Exactly! Steampunk as hell, but waaaay faster *";- )*

The whole plane is a rebuild and absolutely pristine

Yes. It really ties the room together

Yes, just needs a rug as well 😀

Thanks Greg, glad to hear it

So did I at a similar time it was from a MAP plan and i used a 1•5cc engine, it flew free flight. It flew beautifully.

Sure was.Downed huge mount of allied fighters

If "Gott ist mit uns"... like on the buckle clasp of the uniform belt.

Except the comfortable part on bis’ part

Good point. That said, Albatros was taken over by Focke-Wulf in 1931.

Its the profile. The nose of the prop, the inline engine, the front fuselage are all reminiscent of the Bf 109. Willy Messerschmidt surely knew about the Albatross before the Bf 109 left the drawing board.

The canvas calls, Ross.

Thank you

Ever heard about Mark felton productions?

What was the problem found to be and how was it solved?

@@spawniscariot9756 The Problem: In a dive, the sesquiplane (lower wing) twisted around its single spar and sheared off. The Solution: I don't know how Oeffag solved the problem, but I know they did. I shall ask my friends if any of them know how and get back to you. (Likely they do not. I have researched this for decades and I don't know.)

@@hlynnkeith9334 Thanks for your efforts, it's much appreciated

Just for you ;)

@@MilitaryAviationHistory guess what his undies looks like !

@@oddballsok No .. please .. enough is enough. ;o)

Cool.,I’m getting a mig 27 j dropped off next week ,just insuring it’s a pain don’t U find

Yes, the instrument panel isn't ideal and I think I could have made that more clear. The space inside is excellent, lots of room even for me (and I am taller than people at the time) but the instuments are scattered. I've seen pictures showing different locations for the dials. The instrument 'dashboard' was one of the things the Germans didn't do too well during WW1 but a few of those pictures show better arrangements.

As an aviation mechanic having worked on WWll Radials, you kept wondering what the engineer was thinking when he designed the thing. It eventually became the understanding that a Mech must have been pleasing his daughter.

@@MilitaryAviationHistory , think of this in the days before Instrument Flight was a reality. If you are flying a slower and lightweight aircraft visually, there isn't a need to be super precise. Let's compare this to a Piper J3 Cub. The Cub has very limited instrumentation as well. The fuel gage is a wire on a float that sticks out of the fuel cap in front you. As the plane basically stays around 60 mph at all times, you get a good sense after a while of the speed in relation to feel and RPM. I assume the WWI aviators were more accustomed to the feel/sound/RPM for flying the aircraft and not so much on the airspeed as a rule, more of as a cross reference when navigating. We do these aircraft and their crews of thinking of them in modern terms of guages, switches, lights, etc. These aren't designed in a time of long duration flights, air races, passenger travel, and flying in inclement weather. These were the days where the brought the windsock inside when it got bad out, hence the term "socked in". To put the technology into perspective, Curtiss made a caisson for the JN-4 so that a team of mules could tow it.

Why thank you

Doesn’t he always tho?

Thank you
