Looked at this before the caffeine kicked in and thought is this a joke? 40 plus views - NO replies -
Big greenie smiling! THEN - I woke up and remembered that my sister is working on a project that is converting the oldest and largest of private film collections for commercial availability. It is the Grinberg collection - first film newsreel was 1896. So Thanks for the post / link etc. My sister got sucked into the project because she was Vice President of CNN - Turner archives and sales when she retired.

PS: Good view on how to dress for the far north - Looks like something Gump and DonC (is it) might still have in the closet.

Love seeing historic video. That was great. Did you notice it took 2 men to hand prop the rotary engine?

Was not aware the Foker used a rotary engine. P factor must have been mean!

Right turns are easy, not so much left.

Wow, very cool stuff. Man, when those guys strapped in it was for keeps. No parachutes!

And that British pilot yucking it up with the Barron after being shot down! Checking out the bullet holes in the cowling with big smiles on their faces. Those were the days! They all likely went and had a big mug of beer together after dusting themselves off.

A little different when WWII rolled around.

Does torque effect and left turning tendency increase dramatically with rotary engines? I imagine that it would.
