Did animals use gas masks in world war 1?

Yes. Horses and dogs used gas masks; however, the animals were often forgotten or had to use simple cloth bags over there noses. Of the few animals used in the war, they had much higher casualty rates partly because they rarely had gas masks. Sometimes 5,000 animals would go in, and only 200 or so would return. They even had special "goggle" to protect animals' eyes from gas, but animals rarely got to use them. Carrier pigeons used fell from the sky because there were never gas masks for them. Nevertheless, mules, hoses, dogs, and yes even sheep and goats had gas masks, but only if they were lucky.

Why does a aircart carrier need to be large?

bigger is always better... Well, yeah, but, The size of a carrier is determined by the total required length for the flight deck to be able to simultaneously launch aircraft from the front and recover (land) planes at the rear. The take-off length is determined by the amount of distance required for the heaviest plane to reach minimum air speed over the wings to become airborne ("stall speed"). This distance is a product of the speed the plane can reach at max power aided by the launch catapult in the deck, plus the ship's speed at full speed while being steered into the wind for maximum advantage. Obviously, the takeoff runway length can't be changed once the ship is built, so that distance then becomes a requirement for any prospective aircraft to meet in order to be accepted for carrier use. While planes are waiting to take off, others may be landing at the rear of the flight deck. The only way to stop carrier planes when they land is by use of the arresting gear, a large steel hook that drops from the rear of the plane that catches one of 5 thick steel cables run across the rear of the landing area. If the pilot fails to hook one of these cables, he must take off again, circle the ship, and try landing again. Since the plane must be able to fly off without the help of the catapult, all carrier planes must come in for a landing at full power - just in case. Carrier landings have been referred to as "controlled crashes" because of the way the planes are slammed onto the deck and violently stopped by the arresting gear, and aircraft intended for carrier use are designed and built tougher than a plane would be for land based use.

How did people communicate in World War 2?

Pigeons were used extensively in World War One. Man-made communication systems were still crude and unreliable, so dogs and pigeons were used. Pigeons would have been found just about anywhere on the Western Front. At the First Battle of the Marne in 1914, French troops stopped the German advance on Paris. As the French troops advanced and pushed back the Germans, so their pigeons advanced with them. In the heat and disorientation of battle, pigeons proved to be the best way of sending messages to the French headquarters. At the Marne, the French had 72 pigeon lofts. As the French advanced, the lofts advanced with them - but many of the pigeons were 'on duty' carrying messages and could never have known where their loft had moved to. Incredibly, all the pigeons at the Marne returned to their lofts - despite the fact that they would have flown 'blind' not knowing where their loft was.
