I think it turned it rather well. And let me say again how much I like stopping by here in the mornings and checking out all the latests postings, pics, and stories. It is so much more enjoyable than the daily paper. :yes: BRITISH emPATHEy LIMITED presents the following short film, meant to inspire and excite the folks back in Blighty: CLICK HERE FOR "ZEPPELINS OVER PARIS !"

UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted May 10, 2009 This is 'Fleur' She is a work in progress, but I already am very fond of her...after six very tough missions, with 2 Nupes and a Sopwith Pup to her guns, we had a very hairy landing back at base last time out... with her engine sounding very bad, and a trail of smoke in our wake.. But she got me home! I shall get the ground crew to finish their work on her, and she will be held back until completed (when I will upload her to the Skinning section) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Nice to see you flying one of "my" birds now, Widowmaker. And beautiful design, too. Yes, I got hit badly too, by a SPAD XIII, half an hour ago, and my lady produced noises like a sick neighing machine with her broken valves. But she brought me to the nearest field without failing out. Great aircraft! Edited May 10, 2009 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks Olham..yes, I am enjoying her superior stats! Lucky for me, the last mission was a scramble, or I wouldn't have got home I dont think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted May 17, 2009 Gothas Along the Thames! I've just finished up the build on my latest OFF BHaH mission and have sent it to the Downloads section. It should be available soon. And let me tell you, this is one mean mission to fly! In the past when I'd read the accounts of the British Home Defense flyers and their attempts at intercepting the night raiders, I thought they may have been stretching things a bit in terms of how difficult it actually was. They were not! Even with our handy dandy TAC screen on you can fly right by these monsters and never see them. But what a rush to turn the lights off in my little computer room, jump into the cockpit of my Se5, and do my best for King and Country in the night skies over Blighty. I managed to send two down in flames and make it back in one piece, and that was after about a dozen attempts at running this mission, and losing five of my own kites, (and pilots), in the process. Cheers! Lou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted May 18, 2009 Spooky, spooky! Did Gothas or other bomber, apart from Zeppelins, really appear over London in WW1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Hi Olham, (Googled, so take this as possible..not 100% researched) It wasn't until 1917, however, that severe bombing raids occurred. On May 23, 1917, a fleet of 21 Gothas appeared over the English coastal town of Folkestone. On the deadliest day of bombing yet, 95 people were killed, and England began to panic. At noon on June 13, another Gotha fleet dropped bombs onto London. For the next month, the daily raids on the capital city met with little opposition from the Royal Air Force, angering the population of London. Production levels within the city dropped. Citizens felt that their government was incapable of protecting them. They demanded that the military protect them and stop the bombs. They felt exposed and helpless, just as German military strategists had hoped they would. Unfortunately for the Germans, the effect of the bombing was not a public uprising against Parliament but a strengthening of the Royal Air Force.(pretty much repeated in 1940 I believe?!...lol...Simon) In July, the large unwieldy Gothas were forced to resort to night raids so the darkness could shield them from Britain’s Sopwith Camels, light, maneuverable planes. By the war’s end, the raids had stopped entirely since the hits were not worth the German aircraft losses. In total, there were 27 Gotha raids. The English reported 835 killed and 1,990 wounded. Damage from the raids totaled £3,000,000, but the loss of production time from workers having to seek shelter in the middle of the day, or suffering exhaustion from having to leave their beds to seek shelter at night, had a far greater impact. The true results of the Gotha raids are still debated today. But they formed the basis for most of the work of the theorists who addressed air power strategy after the war. More than any other function of the airplane in World War I, bombing created an area for debate and thought in the future.

Olham 164 Posted May 18, 2009 It seems, that bombing cities is always more a psychological effect than that it would irritate enemy's production much. The victims are mostly civilians. And in all cases, it did not have the desired effect, that the people would rise against their own governements. Not even after Dresden - and that raid really destroyed a whole city in a firestorm. If those generals and politicians would have known the English or German character better, they could have known that outcome, without dropping a single bomb.
