WW1 Air Warfare

These gas filled airships were used to drop bombs, despite their size they were difficult to attack fron the air, setting them on fire using incendiary ammunition was hazardous for the attacking pilot.

The Allied forces consisted of several European countries, as well as the inclusion of North America. The most prominent and most told of would be France, Britain, Russia and the United States. However, many more were included in the Allied powers, Japan for example was indeed part of the Allies in World War I. Others: Greece, Romania, Serbia, Belgium, Portugal, and Montenegro all fought against the central powers.

Rickenbacker was in Switzerland when he had a stroke. While recovering he contracted pnemonia and the combination killed him July 23, 1973.

No, Paul Baumer RESENTS the war.

5 aerial victories/kills. Shoot down 5 aircraft or dirigibles but it did not require death of the enemy pilot; only destruction of the enemy aircraft.

Baron Von Richthofen was a German fighter ace in World War One, in his famous red plane. Answer: Baron Manfred von Richthofen flew in the German air force. He flew several airplanes in his career. His first all-red airplane was an Albatros D-III biplane. Later, he flew several Fokker Dr-1 tri-planes. Some had only a red upper wing and red tail. The plane he was flying when he was shot down and killed was an all-red Fokker Dr-1 triplane. That is really a good question, because not all pilots who fought against the British and Americans were German. Austria-Hungary was another country that had its own air force. Their aicraft had the same national insignia as the German. Also Turkey had a small air force but their insignia was different.

I Can Only Think Of Three A Tank Plane And A Flamethrower I Think :)

it is not fully known whos planes he shot down but in total he shot down 90 + planes.

Power - Early airplanes used engines that had a very low power-to-weight ratio, meaning the engines were heavy compared to the amount of thrust it provided. Their performance prevented them from many maneuvers. Some a/c operated at close to their stall speed. If some a/c went into a stall, it was almost impossible to recover from it.

Strength - Airplanes were made of wood covered with fabric applied with glue and braced using cables. The cables and struts created drag on the airplane. These aircraft could bend in flight or a support cable would break. They could not take the forces of fast maneuvers. Some could not fly inverted or fly a loop.

Visibility - Some early WW1 aircraft were designed so that the pilot had poor visibility. These early bi-planes had many struts and wires that impeded their view, even their forward view.

Fuel Leaks - Many planes would catch on fire and burn very quickly if there was a leak in their fuel tank, either due to combat or other causes. A lot of aircraft mounted the fuel tank in the upper wing and a leak would drip back on the pilot.

Poor Performance with dead engine - Since most aircraft engines had low power-to-weight ratio, they were very heavy. If the engine stopped then the aircraft would drop very quickly, giving the pilot little time to select a landing spot.

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.

14 Points

To get into the enemy trenches and destroy the enemy moral.

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
