German Aircraft Cockpits 1911-1970

de (Auteur)

Using the cockpits of approximately sixty military and civil aircraft as examples, this book follows the development of aircraft instruments in Germany from 1911 to about 1970. The standards and developments of each period are described and the instrumentation of each cockpit is identified. There is also a general explanation of the science of aircraft instruments and the function of various items of equipment.

The aircraft cockpit represents the interface between man and machine. In the span of a few decades the cockpit underwent an astonishing development, from sparsely equipped, primitive open cockpit, to enclosed cockpits with numerous instruments and systems.
The pilots of aviation's pioneering period flew by sight and feel and mistrusted the few instruments that were available. The First World War brought mass production of aircraft and the first standards for instruments and equipment.
The 1930s and 1940s represented the apex of German aircraft development, producing distant-reading compass systems, radio navigation aids, electric multiple indicators and autopilots.

German Fighter Aircraft in World War I : Design, Construction and Innovation

de (Auteur)

Fighter aircraft were developed by during World War I at an unprecedented rate, as nascent air forces sought to achieve and maintain air supremacy. German manufacturers innovated at top speed, while constantly scrutinizing the development of new enemy aircraft. The Germans also utilized the concept of systematic production or modular engineering during the war-Fokker capitalized on this aspect with all his aircraft built in a similar fashion-wooden wings with welded steel fuselages.
This meant that they could be disassembled or reassembled quickly in the field-unlike many Allied aircraft.

Pfalz and Albatros were the first to realize the importance of a streamlined fuselage-the precursor to all that would follow. Both of these companies built semi-monocoque fuselages using plywood to develop semi-stressed skin-the Allies had nothing like this.
The Germans also perfect powerful inline engines, as exemplified by the Albatros fighters. These engines did not have the gyroscopic effect of the rotary engines and as such were easier and more stable to fly.
Fokker was slow to give up his rotary engines but once he did, the result was the iconic Fokker D VII-years ahead of its time and the only aircraft specifically mentioned in the Treaty of Versailles that Germany could not build after the war.

This book explores how German fighter aircraft were developed during the war, the innovations and trials that made the Fokker D VII possible, and the different makes and types of aircraft. Using unpublished images including photographs of surviving aircraft, archive images, and models and replicas, it shows details of aircraft that were kept top secret during the war.
Extensively illustrated with 140 photos and ten color profiles, this is will be essential reading for all WWI aviation enthusiasts and modellers.

Richthofen's Flying Circus - Jagdgeschwader Nr I (Osprey)

de (Auteur)

Undoubtedly the most famous of any nation's aviation units in World War 1 was the legendary Jagdgeschwader Nr 1, or 'The Flying Circus' as its respectful foes labelled it. Germany's first true fighter wing, it would always be associated with its first commander, the charismatic and revered Manfred von Richthofen.
JG 1 was formed in July 1917, and for sixteen months the unit's young pilots in their colourful aircraft battled for aerial dominance of the Western Front. From its ranks emerged many of Germany's most successful airmen, including the Red Baron's brother Lothar; Ernst Udet; Werner Voss; Erich Löwenhardt and Hermann Göring.

This book charts the World War I experiences of JG 1.

Contents: Origins (the early careers of JG I's Jastas and formation of the Geschwader) - Summer Successes (JG I's operations in the 3rd Battle of Ypres, July - September 1917) - Triplane Trials (operations primarily with the Fokker Dr I through the Battle of Cambrai, October 1917 - February 1918) - The 'Kaiser's Battle' (operations during 'Operation Michael,' the last great German offensive of March - May 1918) - New Leaders, New Equipment - Fighting Retreat - Jagdstaffel and Geschwader Commanders of JG I - Aces' listing.

Richthofen - The Red Baron in Old Photographs

de (Auteur)

Manfred, Freiherr von Richthofen, was the top ace of the First World War, with eighty confirmed victories. He is also one of the most famous fighter pilots of all time. A Prussian nobleman, he started the war as an officer in an Uhlan cavalry unit, serving on both the Eastern and Western fronts.

In May 1915 he joined the flying service, initially as an observer, then as a pilot, flying two-seaters. In August 1916, ace fighter pilot, Oswald Boelcke recruited von Richthofen into a fighter squadron he was forming. He would later take command of Jasta 11, and then of Jagdgeschwader 1, the famous 'Flying Circus'. Manfred von Richthofen would be shot down and killed on 21 April 1918.

Using period images with text and captions taken from von Richthofen's 1917 autobiography, Der Rote Kampfflieger, this book vividly illustrates his extraordinary story.

Hermann Goering in the First World War - The Personal Photograph Albums of Hermann Goering

de (Auteur)

When modern readers think of Hermann Goering, what probably comes to mind is the overweight drug addict and convicted war criminal who cheated the hangman's noose at Nuremberg by committing suicide just hours before he was due to die. Or perhaps there is the image of his powerful German air force in the Second World War - the Luftwaffe - bombing defenceless European cities and towns in the early part of the war, until it was defeated by the Royal Air Force in the epic Battle of Britain. Perhaps the reader might think of Goering the debauched art collector who pirated captured collections all over Nazi Europe during the Occupation years.

All of these images are correct, but here we see another Hermann Goering: the slim, dashing fighter pilot and combat ace of an earlier struggle, the Great War of 1914-18, which he began as an infantry officer fighting the French Army in the 1914 Battle of the Frontiers.
During a hospitalization, his friend Bruno Lorzer convinced him to become an aerial observer-photographer, photographing the mighty French fortress of Verdun. He did, and began these never-before-seen personal photo albums of men and aircraft at war: up close.
This remarkable book - the first of an intimate series of photographic diaries - is an unique photographic record of the early years of this notorious figure.

Deutsche Bomber im Ersten Weltkrieg

de (Auteur)

Ab 1917 wurden in Deutschland Grossflugzeuge als strategische Bomber gebaut. Dabei handelte es sich um meist viermotorige Doppeldecker, deren Flügelspannweite bereits 1918 an die 50 m betrug - und das nur wenige Jahre nach Beginn der eigentlichen Motorfliegerei.
Manche Bomber des Ersten Weltkriegs verfügten bereits über einen Abwurfmechanismus, mit dem die am unteren Flügel oder am Rumpf angebrachten Bomben ausgeklinkt wurden.

Jörg Mückler, ausgewiesener Experte auf dem Gebiet, zeichnet das Bild eines faszinierenden Kapitels der deutschen Luftfahrtgeschichte - illustriert mit spannendem und meist unveröffentlichtem Bildmaterial.
