WW1 Air Warfare

During the First World War, which lasted from the 28th July 1914 to 11th November 1918, the Battle of the Somme became notorious for the slaughter inflicted on opposing forces between 1st Jul 1916 – 18th Nov 1916. It was fought by the armies of the British and French against the German forces. More than three million men fought in this battle and one million men were wounded or killed. It went down in history as one of the bloodiest battle of all time - it was simply a slaughter of a generation of young men on both sides.

There is no sequel to Goodnight Mister Tom.

they was well eguped as they won

Depends on the biplane. Developements in airplane technology was pretty impressive during the war.

For instance, the best fighter in the early stages of the war, the Fokker Eindecker E.III had a top speed of 87 mph (140 km/h) and a flight time of 1.5 hours. In 1915, this airplane was the terror of the skies. By the middle of 1916, the Eindecker was a relic - outdated and slow.

The Sopwith Snipe, introduced in 1918 had a top speed of 121 mph (195 km/h) and could fly for 3 hours.

The airplane Von Richtofen was shot down in, the Fokker Dr. I (triplane) had a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h). It would stall out at the low speed of 75 mph.

In the First World War between 1 July and 18 November 1916

This was a significant part of World War One for both men and women. Men got recognised mostly for fighting on the front line, but it was very rare women got recognised for there war efforts as this was the time before women's rights. I doubt very much that women enjoyed there contibution to the war by making i.e. bombs and amunition for the men who were fighting. Women were doing this job because there were no men back home to help. The working class were mainly working towards the war. A major era in which the growth of a women's place took hold was during and after the First World War. The end of the four year war ended these roles. The rising rate of patriotism (for king/queen and country) made people even more willing to join up or work for the latest war efforts.

Yes. There was also a camera video taping the entire service., His niece.

All of these different types of weaponry had changed world war 1 in the simple fact that each one is a step closer to creating the weapons and the technologies needed in order to solve wars. It was what gave us the heavy artillery that we needed in the war and it saved many peoples lives because they had the technology to kill before being killed

The Slowest an airplane can travel is around 18mph with the Gossamer Albatross. The human powered planes are designed to operate at very slow speeds. The fastest plane in the world is the Unmanned Aircraft known as the Falcon HTV-2, that has traveled at 16700mph for 90 seconds before the flight was aborted. Most passenger planes and cargo planes travel between 300 and 600mph depending on a number of factors. In the future it would be best if you asked about a specific type or model of aircraft for more accurate information.

They trained in cairo and they did basic things for training that people would do today, they also had practice fights with each other

Most WW1 aircraft were very small. I have seen replica Sopwith Camel and Spad and were surprised how small and flimsy they appeared to be. Not much different from a Piper Cub, +except for being biplanes.

Iron Cross Second Class was awarded in October 1916. The 2nd Class is worn on the tunic with only a ribbon in the button hole. The 1st Class is a badge that is worn on the front breast.

Paul Baumer was a WW1 fighter ace who was one of few German soldiers who earned both the Blue Max and the Military Cross of Order(I think this is correct name). Paul Baumer died in an airplane crash in 1927 while flying aerobatic display. This is ironic in that he was one of few pilots to have successfully parachuted out of an airplane during the war.

The Western Front: Britain & France Vs Germany

The Eastern Front: Germany & Austro/Hungary Vs Russia

The Italian Front: Austro/Hungary Vs Italy

The Balkan Front: Britain & Commonwealth Vs Turkey (Gallipoli landings)

Added Bonus:

A fifth front is the Home Front

I am not sure right off - my instinctive response would be to contact someone like the History Channel or Military Channel and find out if they have suggestions. Your local college/Universities would be easiest as well.

On the side of the Allies there was Canadian Captain Arthur "Roy" Brown who flew Sopwith Camels and is most famous as being the likely pilot to have shot down Germany's Manfred von Richthofen, who was a famous pilot on the German side.

The Hindenburg, one of the largest and most famous of the Zeppelin's had a top speed of 135 km/h

This FAQ is a resource in itself. Entire libraries worth of books have been written on the battles of WWII. If you have specific questions please post them, lots of people will be happy to answer them.

Three reasons:

1. To keep warm - the wind whipping around the head and shoulders worked its way under the leather flying jacket.

2. To prevent the leather flying jacket from chafing the neck.

3. To wipe engine grease from the goggles.
