@paulmanson253 7 лет назад

Aviation dope back in the day was nitrocellulose mixed with evaporating thinners. Since several kinds of chemicals were used for the thinners,it was more or less like huffing paint. Nitrocellulose burns very well in air,it is guncotton. So once part of the doped canvas or linen started to burn,the whole thing would eventually go up. If you look at period film,you can see the effect. Cellulose Acetate showed up later,and is not explosive or flammable. So old film backing,dope,pyroxolin bandage,and others were guncotton in different guise. Kind of amazing the death toll was not greater. Not exactly safe to operate.

My wife's grandfather was a pilot training in Texas during WW1. Had there been an offensive in 1918 he would have been flying top cover for it. My wife found this and you other coverage of air services very interesting.

@BillThompson1955 7 лет назад

My grandfather was also a trainee pilot in Texas. He learned to fly JN-4s at Benbrook's Taliaferro #2 field, also known as Barron Field (after the war he was known as "the Baron" from this). He graduated to fighter training, and washed out when he ground-looped a Sopwith Camel. That accident left him with a broken eardrum and broken knee, and is possibly the reason he lived to have descendants.

Томас Андерсон Well i mean the aircraftvand pilots stationed there didn't fly to the western front, they were re stationed to France to fly there. So the only flights out of there were for training, recon, or counter flights against enemy raids. So less sorties, doesn't suprise me that the deaths are mostly training...

I may be 5 years late to answer but gauge refers to the space between each course (layer) of the brick wall. Brickers use it as a form of measurement to make sure all 4 sides of a structure are built to the same height

@skepticalbadger 7 лет назад

Sorry, but 'dope' was in use to mean drugs well before the First World War (before the 1880s in fact). People then would have been aware of both meanings (thick liquid, and slang for drugs), and I'm sure they joked about it, but in context then it still meant 'thick liquid' and that would have been the better known meaning in polite circles :)

@wb6wsn 7 лет назад

If you were building model planes before about 1970, you probably covered the wings and fuselage with silk and then saturated the fabric with a toluene solvent and plasticizer. As the toluene evaporated, the silk would shrink and pull itself taught over the frame members. You can get a good buzz from toluene, but it also kills brain cells. And then along came plastic shrink film, in a number of vivid colors, which required a hot iron to melt its backing plastic to frame members. After that initial tack, the hot iron would shrink the film itself, causing the plastic film to become taught. Repairs were quite easy, unlike the silk and dope system.

@rogervoss4877 7 лет назад

Even tissue paper & dope for the smaller models. Did a couple of those, the balsa framework was QUITE like the originals.

12:13 gauge is a unit of circular measure based on a how many even size spheres could be made the same diameter of a opening from one pound of lead, for example 12 gauge is one half inch and weights about an ounce (one ounce slugs for shotguns come to mind), which makes 1 gauge about 8 inches give or take if I recall right

@pabmusic1 7 лет назад

Obi-Wan Kenobi; Brendan Hunt It's a bit of history. Aerodrome was the British term, from Greek, for what Americans called an airfield, airstrip, or (eventually) airport. Aerodrome translates as 'air strip' or 'air course' (an older word was hippodrome - a place where horses were raced or shown off). The present-day Greek word for 'airport' is Αεροδρόμιο, which is "aerodrome". The main airport for London was Croydon Aerodrome, replaced by Heathrow Airpost in 1946.

@vladimirmikanovic726 7 лет назад

Question for OOTT: I assume there was a lot of alcohol and possibly drug abuse in armies, so how did officers react, did they tolerate, punish or even join their troops? Were there different rules for front line and background troops? Thank you for being awesome.

@vladimirmikanovic726 7 лет назад

@hlynnkeith9334 7 лет назад

Vladimir Mikanovic A number of RFC officer pilots wrote about their experiences which included drunken brawls in the officers' mess every night. Not fistfighting but rugby played in the mess. I am not joking. Philip Fullard, 40 kills, broke his leg in such a piss-up in November 1917; it rendered him unfit for duty until September 1918. The official report says he broke his leg in an off-duty football match, wink-wink, nudge-nudge. FWIW he scored all his kills while flying Nieuports. He has more kills in Nieuports than any other pilot, British or French. The American messes were, by presidential order, dry. Another reason I hate Woodrow Wilson, may his soul roast in fires eternal. The French messes, officer and enlisted, included wine with meals as a matter of course. I have seen French squadron commissary records from the Great War, and they include hundred of baguettes and cases of wine for each week. I have read that the French airmen drank copious quantities of champagne and cognac on leave and engaged in some truly extraordinary exhibitions of marksmanship while so drunk they had to be supported to stand, but they flew and fought the next day. I have little information on German messes and all of that from Boelcke or von Richthofen. No reports of drunkenness ever. They did drink a lot when away from the front, especially when they were entertained in Berlin by aircraft manufacturers. Austrians? Italians? Russians? Turks? Know nothing about their drinking habits. I should not be surprised to find the Turks used hashish. I doubt I answered your question in full, but I hope I answered it in part. Cheers.

@vladimirmikanovic726 7 лет назад

Well I guessed airmen and pilots were better "equipped", so drunken rugby comes as no surprise. My main question was about front line troops, although I didn't specify that. Cheers mate

@donaldparlettjr3295 6 лет назад

He kept referring to canvas and that is incorrect. It was Irish linen a tight weave cotton cloth. The dope was used to fill the weave and tighten the cloth. The dope was a nitrate based coating and very flammable. What cool place though and really informative.

Great presentation guys, and enjoyed meeting you,and of course visiting the airdrome back in July- seems a lifetime ago. Anyhow, look forward to seeing you return next year at SM. As a footnote, about women playing their part, the `Junior` service,RAF, as of conception 1-4-18, had always been progressive about women participation and even service personal with disability ,most notably in another war, Douglas Bader.So I can see how the RFC would have been at the vanguard of progressiveness .

Weird request: I am currently doing my graduation essay and presentation about protection and mobility of units during battle and I remembered an anecdote you told us about French military higher-ups wondering why the rate of injuries increased after the introduction of steel helmets not realizing that these people being injured would otherwise be dead if it wasn't for the helmets. I don't remember where you told us about that but I would like to implement that into my presentation could I get some sources from you or reading material suggestions, thank you. Would be nice if you guys could respond quickly. Love the show and love the way you present the topics(Kinda wish you were introducing the levels in BF1) okay, too much text, bye. -Alex.

+Alexander Walker can you drop me a message via Facebook or Twitter or something so I don't forget this?

@canicheenrage 7 лет назад

Alexander Walker Dont remember TGW talking about that. I do remember Lindybeige doing, though. About british higher-ups and the Brodie ("battle-Bowler") They were only seeing that the number of head injuries considerably increased, and took erroneous conclusions from it, not looking at all the figures. As far as i know, the french brass was delighted by the instant drop of casualties after the introduction of the Adrian. But i could be wrong. PS: if it's about mobility, you may want to include Ludendorff's quote: "The french victory of 1918 is the one of the french truck over the german rail". :p PPS: And since it's about Lindy and the british/french, you _want_ to check the sources.

It's near Chelmsford, so about 2 hours.
