prwood Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Great video & strange to see the swastika displayed on the tail of the German aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The hooked cross was seen all over the world for several years before the war broke out. Fascinating that even in 1934, American aircraft were obviously a generation ahead. Hitler should have travelled a bit to learn about the real world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The Douglas aircraft was a Swiss air DC2. KLM had them early also. At that stage I reckon Douglas was leading the world in aircraft structural design.. The DC2 very quickly was replaced by the to become famous, DC3. and the four engined DC-4 was only about 4 years away and capable of flying the Atlantic safely and comfortably. Almost able to be pressurised but that had to wait for the DC6..in the Douglas stable. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 What a great classic historical film record! There's some superb huge "flying machines" for the era, in there! I'm not so sure I like the outside locks on the doors!? There sure wasn't much crash planning in those days! I trust all you blokes ensure you swab your tyres with a big broom, and bucket full of detergent, right after every landing? - just like that bloke was doing to Heracles? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Yes it really was exceptionally clear and seeing how they ground the valve seats with a grinding head located by the valve guide and rotated from outside. 4 valve heads too with valves inclined. The Brits sure had some good tooling... Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
