We've had this WW1 era wooden prop above our front door for years now and I've never been able to to figure out what aircraft it would have belonged to. Could anyone help me ID it?

Hello- my grandfather was a US Naval aviator in WW1. He trained at Pensacola NAS in the spring of 1917. In the winter and spring of 1918 he was attached to Royal Naval Air Station doing submarine patrol work at Westgate, Portsmouth and Felixstowe. In the summer of 1918 he joined the USNAS at St. Trojan, and in the fall the USNAS at Arcachon, for submarine patrol and convoy work. Does anyone have any idea what kind of plane he would have flown?

I rode a plane a few states away for a business deal (or to be precise to talk about investments intoa company I made such as bonds and stocks). During the flight it stated the temperature outside the plane was -55 degrees F! So I'm inspired to ask this.

Would flying biplanes and other World Warr 1 era planes (which I'll extend for the sake to this discussion as early as 1900s and as late as 1928) have been chilly? And the same for airplanes with open cockpit period? If someone impulsively decided to goon a joyride and with a cocky head decides to fly around in a 1914 replica of the Red Baron Richtofen's plane just wearing a t shirt and jeans, would that have been hazardous to his health and safety?

As another point, I just finished a 1942 Gene Tierney movie Thunderbirds and despite the pilots doing their training in the hot Arizona desert during the summer, each and everyone of them wear full greatcoats with leather gloves and boots and aviation headgear as they did a few test flights of antiquated open cockpit planes that were gradually being phased out in the story's setting as America prepares for war with Japan. This is what inspired the question along with seeing -50 F temperatures on the seat monitors during my flight.

So I take it wearing at least November cold autumn clothing was essential for flying in biplanes and other open cockpit stuff that was the norm in the WW1 era and flying in these felt very cold?

So I went to a vintage store a while ago, and found this old vintage seemingly german plane. I checked the date and I'm decently certain the art was made in the interbellum period?

Will try to include an image. It also appears to be a reconnaissance aircraft of sorts...

I think it's German?

Hi guys! I just need a little help with a scale model that I am doing.. the diorama consists of a pilot speaking to an officer assessing battle damage on a Sopwith Camel whilst a mechanic is working on the plane…. The only problem is my model is depicting a R.N.A.S airfield in 1917/18.. my question is, does anyone know what an R.N.A.S aircraft mechanic look like? I know it’s a bit of an ask but I just want to be accurate as possible, I don’t want the mechanic to look like a R.F.C member…. Any help would be greatly appreciated 😄

I want to build a large scale model but looking online only produced a bunch of rc model plans and the usual blueprint posters that are actually just cool drawings on blue design paper.

anyone knows where to find actual production drawings?

so, i heard of the name Godwin Brumowski, but i cant seem to find any information about him, other than he was an Austro Hungarian fighter ace and i think he flew over the Isonzo front.
