That's not Fokker is pronounced.

I built a model of that helicopter. Pretty cool for its day.

You really should include measurements in Miles, yards, feet, inches, pounds, etc. for the other 400 million of us who don't do the metric system. 😮

Corps is pronounced "core".

I have to believe this entire video was created by AI

Names are harder than finding details of 110 year old airplanes

12:33 There is always "that guy" that ruins it for everyone else. 6:23 The machine gun version seems a decent idea but can't see the flame thrower version doing much more than setting yourself on fire. I appreciate your dedication to honesty such as 4:30. It wouldn't make a difference to me if it was the first flight or not but you taking the time to tell us it wasn't is appreciated.

Time traveler comes to the future to see his beloved bomber one more time?

That caproni triplane is the goofiest thing I’ve ever seen and if it didn’t buzz around like a literal insect I’ll be very disappointed Also what in the bad piggies is that helicopter!

Just a question, where did you get the gun?

7:42 top cinco scariest jumpscares

Congratulations! At last, someone finally discovers the existence of the extraordinary de Bruyere C1. However, not so cool are your disparaging critique of this unique aircraft. This aircraft is truly remarkable; far from being some sort of leper it is a true vision from the future. See the C1, and think "A10 tank-killer"..... in your rush to dump all over this aircraft you seem to be oblivious to the historical context in which this aircraft arose. Although de Bruyere unlikely knew it his creation came about as the armoured fighting vehicle, i.e. first appeared on the battlefields of WW1 in 1917. This aircraft would have proved vital, potent tank-killer had WW1 continued. It is a tragic loss to aviation progress and history that de Bruyere threw in the towel so readily and doubly so at the lack of foresight and vision displayed by the French military who failed to grasp how important this aircraft would have been to keeping pace with the rapid advances in fighting tactics. That the prototype tragically did a 'Titanic' on its first flight is not an indication of any design flaw since de Bruyere did not even attempt a post-mortem and post-crash analysis so we are only left to speculate. It might just as easily been due to a careless rigging error. For instance, compare the C1 to Rutan's "Quickie" and measure the many decades of time between them to grasp just how modern this aircraft was. You also seem to harbour some sort of irrational bias against pusher-prop aircraft. Clearly you lack any appreciation of the superiority of the pusher fighter configuration over the abominable tractor design foisted onto combat aviators by visionless military leaders. If you criticisms were to hold even a grain of truth then maybe you can explain the universal adoption of the jet-powered fighter which in essence is just a pusher propelled aircraft?? If there is meant to be something inherently 'wrong' with this configuration then maybe you can explain why they aren't all just arbitrarily falling out of the sky?? Exemplorary fighter aircraft like the WW2 KYUSHU 'Shinden' are stand-out designs that were actually built along with the multiple designs from all the other combatants with notable proposals from the likes of Blohm und Voss, etc. Modern pusher-props are just too numerous to catalog, like Piaggio, the B.A.C. 'SABA', etc, etc.... "gosh, guess the designers of all these aircraft must be suffering from a delusion - how could they all get it so wrong?"

8:21 The imaginary "Karman line" between the atmosphere and the outer space, considered to be at an altitude of 100 km, was named after Theodore von Karman, who established a theoretical altitude limit for winged aircraft.

3:40 You might want to proofread your title cards. Potentially good videos immediately look amateurish with bad spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc.

Ahhh... French military aircraft could be... interesting? No, I guess the word is "disturbing"... but yeah, the morbid fascination is definitely there.

Keep in mind that the Germans were also trying out experimental drugs back then. Like D-IX or similar.

That last one looks like something from crimson skies.

That Caproni bomber... anyone happen to notice how much that thing looked like the later P-38 fighter? Notice at 14:51 how even the engine nacelles look like they're carrying an inline or V-type engine. I wonder if Kelley Johnson of Lockheed happened to have seen this sometime before building the Lightning.

I-BADZ.. 😂

I wish Americans could pronounce word correctly. It's Fokker not Fucker.

Romania is known for Dracula 😉, aka Vlad Cepe^z...

I just found a pictorial magazine from 1918. The stories about after the war such a timecapsile. Old ads its so cool

I play a tabletop game that actually features the De Bruyère C 1.

Aircraft 2,3,4,6,8 and 10 have been made into remote controlled models. The Ilya Muromets model is particularly impressive (even as a model it is huge) and has been donated to the Sikorski museum. There is a video elsewhere on YT showing it flying. Theodore Von Karmann of the PKZ-2 is a well known aerodynamicist. IIRC of the aircraft modeled number 10 is the only one that couldn't be made to fly, even as a remote controlled airplane.

Video amendments: 10:15 - This is a Vickers Gun Bus, not an FE.2, this was an oversight on my part in editing, grabbed the wrong image and didnt even notice.... 14:25 - the Ca.1, Ca.2, and Ca.3 all had three engines as well

The FE2 your picture represents is the prototype, the later ones were bigger and had a larger gunner's cockpit. The image following it is the Vickers Gunbus, which was fielded almost 6 months earlier. It wasn't as successful, but the RFC at that time were flying aircraft as weird as the RAF BE3 and Farman's already dated MF7 Longhorn, and the still not really modern MF11 and HF20 pushers. It's funny that the Germans, when they shot down any type of Entente pusher referred to it in their reports as a "Vickers Type". The Gunbus was notoriously heavy and didn't handle as well as the later Airco DH2. The Caproni WWI bombers were all, from the CA.1 to the CA.40, triple engined, with two front mounted on two boom like tail supporting structures and the middle fuselage hosting a pusher engine. The American Expeditionary Forces loved the Ca.40 almost as much as the Salmson A.2. So you missed a few other weird ones. The SPAD A.2, Borel's Militaire,the Supermarine Nighthawk, Caudron's lattice tailed G.IV and the Royal Air Factory's FE4.

Hadn't heard of this...

You might consider the Koolhoven FK quadroplanes.

No it’s the ww2 the deadly one adults were and children has Mickey Mouse version and infants for protective suit well millions of these masks were made by asbestos so pls don’t try at home tysm

Great stuff. Love WW1 aircraft content. Thank you very much.

Such a tough topic to go over even if you're not portraying a not-see because you're portraying a soldier, and the point of a soldier in the long run is to take the life of another soldier. So if you really think about it its almost like portraying the lesser of two evils and people can't grasp that most reenactors do what they do because they enjoy the history of the time, not to go around saying "I'm pretending to be a killer".

What is it called? (My bojangles got twisted)

Babe, wake up. Wolf of 1918 dropped.

He was not good, because he was an autocrat. Autocrats cannot be good, ever.

Another thing: the French had more artillery and more heavy artillery than the British. Smaller front, less men, more guns. Firepower kills

Daimler is pronounced DAME-lehrer

Playing HOI4 right now, currently in a 2 year long stalemate while fighting in Iran and China against the UK, Iraq, China, and a couple more. Thought this would be fitting while I wait for my supply hubs to build. Update: It's now 27 Apr, 1943; The supply depots have been built and I am my troops are finally making good ground again. I believe the stalemate is broken.

The sabiton poster is quality 👌

I needed some WWI music because I am playing Axis & Allies 1914 with my friends. Can you believe I found your vid from search?

Wolf of 1918 post amazing content come out sometime

Finding the name 12 - Battle Hymn of the Republic

I've been a student of Great War aircraft for many years, I think you did a fine job presenting the Fokker D.VII. The algorithm knows what I like and, although a few months old, your video was just recommended. Thank you from a new subscriber.

Now I disagree with Wilhelm being the most racist leader of his time the guy definitely was a bit worse than a the leaders of the two other major european monarchs but his Hun speech has probably more to stem from the staunch military attitude rather than just being racist. It most certainly did play a factor but i dont think that was the main reason. And you could make that argument for most of his other actions he wanted to prove himself while still being seen as a good leader. That makes him terrible flawed and is a reason to learn more about the guy. He was a power hungry monarch who should just be remembered as such. Had he been in reign at a different time he maybe would have been better but overall the video was well made and a great overview of why he shouldnt be outright celebrated like many other grand historical figures.

history is written by the winners

the treaty of versaille was the cause of world war 2 To this day i still blame the french for all the horrible things that happenned at world war 2 . They wanted to make germanny suffer even though they aren't fully the blame of world war 1 . This caused nationalists like hitler to rise to power.
