One of the classic aircraft of World War 1 was the Avro 504, possibly the most manufactured military aircraft of that conflict. It saw first flight on 18th September 1913, and was only retired from service in 1934. It saw service in pretty much every role possible for an aircraft of that era, including reconnaissance, light bombing, as a fighter, and perhaps most famously as a trainer. This min...

The tale of the Curtiss-Goupil Duck is an interesting anecdote that starts in the very early days of aviation. Unusually, it’s an aircraft whose capability for flight was neither for the purposes of experiment nor commerce. Its intent was to prove that the Wright Brothers did not invent lateral control.

HMS Ben-my-Chree was an early seaplane tender that saw service with the British Royal Navy during World War 1. She is, perhaps, best known for her involvement in the first trio of successful aerial torpedo attacks in history, though she had an extensive career in the Mediterranean.

I have covered the Bristol M1 in a previous presentation. In this video I take a look at that aircraft's operational history from the pre-production M1B, through the production M1Cs in Macedonia and Mesopotamia, and civilian use after World War 1.

The Caproni Ca.1, Ca.2 and Ca.3 were early heavy bombers of World War 1. A rather successful series, it was designed in 1913, saw first flight in 1914, and saw active service from 1915 to 1927. Here is its story.

The Cooley airship is a fascinating story from the days of early aviation. Whether it was a scam, or a genuine effort to take to the air, or the story of a conman who really attempted to build an advanced flying machine is open to debate. Certainly it is not a straightforward story as we shall see. The World's First Heavier Than Air Flights ua-cam.com/video/91LO3zGesX0/v-deo.html Dangerous by K...

The Imperial Japanese Navy ship Wakamiya was a very early seaplane tender, the first and only such vessel used by the Japanese during World War 1. It is significant in that it performed the very first naval launched air raids by heavier than air craft, and was instrumental in the development of carrier operations.

Following the success of the Eindecker, the D.I and D.II were Anton Fokker's attempts to meet Idflieg's requirements for a small, light, fast, heavily armed biplane. This is their story.

HMS Engadine was a British seaplane tender that saw service with the Royal Navy from September of 1914 to December of 1919. She is notable for being involved with the Cuxhaven Raid, and the Battle of Jutland, during which she became the first vessel to launch a seaplane that performed reconnaissance of an enemy fleet in action.

This is a short video showing what I believe to be the Model 2 & 3 helicopters of Raúl Pateras Pescara being flight tested in 1922 and 1923. The video has a creative commons license, and can be found on Wikipedia if anyone is interested in the original. My identification in the video is based on the thumbnail picture which purports to show the Model 2 on the left and the Model 3 on the right. T...

The Albatros D.V was a German single-seat biplane scout of World War 1. It was the final production aircraft in the Albatros D series, and the last Albatros scout to see operational service. It was also the most produced Albatros scout. It was also the most flawed and most disappointing. This is its story.

The Short 184 was the world's first operational torpedo bomber. In that role, it was the first to launch a successful attack and the first to sink a ship with an airborne torpedo, though not in the same incident. More often used in the reconnaissance and light bomber roles, it was in the former capacity that it became the first heavier than air craft to spot and report on the presence of an ene...

The Albatros D.III was a German, single-engine, biplane scout fighter of World War 1 that saw service from the end of 1916 to the cessation of hostilities and beyond. It is perhaps best known for its role in Bloody April of 1917. This is its story.

The Albatros D.I and D.II scouts were important German designs on the road to the D.III. Their arrival in August of 1916 came as quite a shock to the allies on the Western Front, as until then they had maintained air superiority for several months. This is their story.
