That was great. I know the WW1 stuff doesn't get a lot of views, but I think it's still important history to cover, and it does get some views.

[JagerLange]

Cool, Chris AND Bismarck in the same vid.

I shared the D.VII Inside the Cockpit in the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome Facebook group and they guys and gals there LOVED it! The Aerodrome has their own flying example of a super acurate D.VII replica with an original Mercedes Engine that flies every weekend. Amazing place. You'd love it there Bismarck

The Blue Max D.VII is a replica, it was restored at Peter Jackson company The Vintage Aviator and is now flying with other old birds in New Zealand.

[asintonic]

EXCELLENT! thank you.
question? How many original Fokker DVII biplanes exist today?

[Troylewe]

Seriously, I love the scenes in your videos of explanation inside cockpits. Pretty please keep them in future videos.

[Stretch]

I played red baron for PC in the early nineties. I love ww1 planes

[vincksmidt]

No Questions! Simple Statement ~ Cracking videos¥ Cheers

For those that wanted to know. Anthony Fokker did just briefly witnessed ww2. He died on the 23rd of December 1939 due to an infection caused by an operation to his nose in New York at the age of 49 years.

Persian - naphtha = sweat of the Earth
Greek-Latin - petra+oleum = rock oil = crude oil
There are various usages, for instance: petrol is also "gas" (for lamps or machines)
naphtha is also same as diesel(fuel) or heating oil in some languages
gasoline is same as benzine in some languages

[KapiteinKrentebol]

Fokker G1 too, designed in the 1930's very advanced for it's time and might have inspired the Lockheed Lightning.

[tomholley]

I personally like all of your material

[tisFrancesfault]

WW 1 planes are really under valued. And it's a total shame. Not only are some of the best looking planes flying, they naturally influenced future development. (I really enjoyed reading the relative civility of early air combat, you both fly level shot with at each other with pistols and shotguns and if you both missed waved good bye and flew home).


... What would be interesting would be a look at the French ww1 planes and how they impacted the development and performance of its ww2 planes. :3

@Military Aviation History >>> At around 07:20 in this video: Do you mean the _surface area_ of the piston face increases?

[michaelmcdonnell]

in the book "The Blue Max" what was the slogan that Bruno Stachel had put on the upper wing of his Fokker D.Vii? Thank you.

[jonskowitz]

It's like a discussion I had with Central a few years ago; WWI aviation is a niche' within what is already a niche subject. WWII aviation seems to be what grabs most people who are interested.

A *LITTLE BIT?!* 😜

[Rammstein.]

Platz's influence can be seen in the D.VII if I'm not wrong in the way it basically looks like a DR.I minus a wing and with the radial replaced with an inline powerplant.

[parijatbhowmick]

Please do a video on heinkel he 219 uhu and if possible a "into the cockpit " or "walk around".

[I_like_planes]

What is that on the shelf directly behind you? Is that a model of a Bf 109? It kinda looks like it. Also I don't think I'll get an answer on this considering that I'm 3years late
