 Beginning of World War I ◦ Germany had 20 dirigibles ◦ Produced 88 more during the war  Germany used them as strategic bombers against French and English cities

Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: 1) How did the airplane influence the way the war was fought? 2) How were airships (dirigibles and zeppelins) used during the war? 3) How did airships use influence aircraft development?

 They were accurate bombers ◦ Highly flammable ◦ Because they were vulnerable to anti- aircraft fire from ground and air ◦ Mainly flown at night  1916 – Germany created a replacement – twin-engine bomber the Gotha IV  This caused British fighters to be called back from war in France ◦ To help protect British cities from the dirigibles

Chapter 2 The Adolescence of Air Power

 Mission:  What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air?  Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers.  What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft?  Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns?  Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.  EQ: Describe significant aviation events occurring between and their impact on future aviation development.

Dog Fights

 “The sky is about to become another battlefield no less important than the battlefields on land and sea....In order to conquer the air, it is necessary to deprive the enemy of all means of flying, by striking at him in the air, at his bases of operation, or at his production centers. We had better get accustomed to this idea, and prepare ourselves.” (Italian staff officer), 1909

 Initially, air combat was rare ◦ Reconnaissance / observation took priority ◦ Often rival aircraft waved or smiled at each other  Progressed to throwing bricks, grenades or even rope – hoping to get it tangled in the propeller  Eventually pilots began firing pistols at each other

First aircraft brought down by another was an Austria reconnaissance rammed on Sep 8, 1914 by a Russian pilot (both planes crashed – killing all)

 As more and more bombing raids took place, clear need for control of the air was needed.  Fighter or pursuit aircraft were needed to drive off bombers.

 1915 – French pilot – Roland Garros ◦ Mounted an automatic rifle on aircraft ◦ Fired through the propeller ◦ To keep from shooting off propeller, the rear of the propeller was armored with steel plates

 Angled metal guards on the propeller in line with the path of the bullets  The guard is a "V" shaped piece of steel  "U" shaped bullet "gutter" intended to direct the deflected path of the bullet striking it away from the propeller.  sending a ricocheting bullet back into the pilot.  bullet striking the plate could create fractures in the propeller causing it to fail.

 Germans captured Garros and his plane  Dutch – airplane designer – Anthony Fokker improved on design  Fokker designed a machine gun that fired through a spinning propeller  This gave Germans total control over the skies for over a year

Anatomy of the Interrupter Gear

Interrupting Gear

Fokker E.I Eindecker: 1915 The Fokker E.I was the first aircraft armed with a synchronized, forward firing machine gun. Although underpowered and slow it could out- turn most of its opponents

 Allies tried to mount a gun to the top of the wing but was ineffective due to increased drag

The Wing-Mounted Gun Solution: Fire above the path of the propeller: Fitted with either drum or clip ammunition feed systems Two issues: Unreliable and prone to jamming difficult task of reloading ammunition or clearing a round from a jammed gun while flying

 1916 – allies captured a German plane and were able to copy the machine gun design British Fe2b

 May 1918 ◦ German designer Hugo Junkers built world’s first all metal, low-wing monoplane fighter called the Junkers D1 ◦ Arrived too late to make a difference in the war but was the fighter of the future

Junkers D.I: 1918 The Junkers monoplane was rugged, fast, and agile. The design was a decade ahead of its time appearing a year too late

WWI Fighters

Nieuport 11: 1915 The Nieuport 11 "Bébé" (baby) was fast and extremely maneuverable. Used by the British and French to counter the Fokker E.III.

SPAD S VII: 1916 The French Air Service replaced the Nieuport 17 with the SPAD S.VII, it was fast, durable and difficult to shoot down.

Sopwith Camel: 1917 An agile, highly maneuverable biplane, the Sopwith Camel accounted for more aerial victories than any other Allied aircraft during World War I.

Fokker Dr.I The Fokker DR.I triplane was small, lightweight and highly maneuverable, it offered good upward, visibility making it an outstanding plane in a dogfight

Fokker D.VII The Fokker D.VII is widely regarded as the best German fighter aircraft of the Great War.

Questions / Comments

 French developed method for recognizing pilots who shot down enemy aircraft.  Used the term “ace” for a pilot who shot down five enemy aircraft  The British and the Americans adopted the same criteria  Germans required10 enemy aircraft downed for “Ace” to be used

WWI Fighter Aces

Fokker Machine Gun

The engine revolves at least 1,000 turns per minute two chances for the gun to fire for each revolution this would allow the gun to fire 2,000 shots per minute The rate of fire of a machine gun varies from about 400 to 1,000 shots per minute
