Your videos are absolutely amazing. I love ww 1 aircraft and the photographs are very unique, and interesting. Awesome job!!!

One of the most sexy aircrafts ever built. N.11 by the way is so cute, like wolkswagen beetle

Cool

I'm watching this with my 5 month old. She looked over when she heard your voice. Great video my friend.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Glad your daughter liked it.

A well researched piece of work, as usual. We look forward to your next presentation. Thank you very much Jerry.

Glad you liked it! Plenty more aircraft to do. Some will be well know, others less so.

The woodwork is quite amazing.

The Spad 7 was in service in 1916 with the 150 hp Hispano Suiza. In late 1917 they started getting 180 hp engines.

11:12 Firstly the replacement Schwarlose was the 12/RM16 (M16 was a cavalry weapon similar to the land service le MG 08/15 in Germany -compared to the so called "Sandau" the aircraft variant of the le MG 08/15 with the perforated barrel jacket) but importantly Schwarlose M 07/12 functioned in the Alps at elevations at least up to 3000 metres and at equally cold temperatures and far worse weather conditions. The chances are the problem with KUK aircraft Schwarlose at altitude had more to do with failures of the interrupter gear, and possibly water being driven into the fabric belts causing swelling and thus stoppages -a problem less common in land service as crew were disciplined to prevent these belt problems -and a fighter pilot can't access belts to prevent ingress of water in flight.

Just discovered this site. Brilliant insights

Excellent! Thanks!

Wasn't the lower wing problem of the D.III and worse D.V one of aerodynamic flutter, mostly due to the V-Strut allowing relatively unimpeded twisting, and a spar not stiff enough in that regard?

Would love to see a video about the experiments with a 20mm cannon on those old planes. I remember hearing that during field tests they were one-shot-one-kill (10 out of 12?), but smoke in the cockpit after firing was too problematic.

HI Jerry, please do more WW1 content. It is a change from the WW2 warbirds on KZread

My general topic is early aviation, with a main focus on World War 1. The general date range is up to about 1932.

The Austrians built the best Albatross D.3 of the war.They did not have the lower wing failure problems because they strengthen the lower wings and they had much more power for download engines than the german mercedes. Another interesting point is albatross.Also ended up building the fokker D7 and folker didn't produce blueprints.So albatross had to produce reverse engineered blueprints and produced better quality fokker D7 with none of the quality control problems Fokker had. they also were lighter weight

What was the best fighter plane in WW1?

No idea. I don’t think there’s an objective answer.

here at 0:46 you can clearly see there is a wing flutter issue on this kind of airplane. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHyN0tiLcs_amZc.html

It’s flutter, because unlikr Nieuport’s, they used a single spar on the lower plane

I like your videos but I would suggest that when you are referring to an aircraft that you show the correct plane. For example you're talking about the D III but you have a picture of a Nieuport 11 up for a while - why?

I would have to check the script to find the context.

I think the context is that the sesquiplane design of the DIII was strongly influenced by the Nieuport

This is an aircraft initially used by famous American Kościuszko squadron which fought for Poland in 1919/20 war with bolsheviks.
