OvS Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 11 correct. 16/20... I thought it was a Bristol Fighter... !! Quote
Mr. Lucky Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I got 14, but the Zeppelin answers are wrong based on the questions. Quote
Slartibartfast Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Well as someone who flirts with WW1 flying... didnt think I did bad with 13...!!! Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 It wasn't that I only got nine cos I don't know...just that you lot are lying..and the questions were fixed! Quote
Peeppu Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 I got 14, but the Zeppelin answers are wrong based on the questions. 18/20 and i agree with Mr. Lucky concerning Zeppelin question. Quote
+Paarma Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 14 correct. I should had read more carefully all the text :). Quote
OvS Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 18/20 and i agree with Mr. Lucky concerning Zeppelin question. Same here... I really didn't understand what they were looking for... jeeze...now we're starting to sound like college kids. Quote
themightysrc Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 16 - happy with that, given I did it in about 90 seconds. Quote
Vasco Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 2 wrong - I thought that the CC interuptor gear pre-dated Fokker's mechanical version - and as to who declared war on both Germany AND Serbia, I didn't have a clue! Quote
chrispdm1 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 19/20 #11 mixed me up, I should have read it closer, probably wouldn't have got it anyways. I was kinda shocked I got the zeppelin, I totally guessed at it. Quote
+Olham Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Hmmm - now you all may think, I'm the René Fonck of this quiz - all 20 right! Tattaaa! Tattaaa! Tatttaaaaa!!! Edit: I better add, that the "Bulldog" and that monoplane was guesswork. I'm never that good, when it's about winning money! Edited June 25, 2009 by Olham Quote
+Olham Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 How did you do that? Ah, well, I see: you are a Test pilot! So you must be good with tests! Quote
Canvas Wings Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 14 for me - should have been 15, I gave one wrong answer by sloppy mouse work. Dang drop downs. CW Quote
GRUMPYBEAR Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Hmmm - now you all may think, I'm the René Fonck of this quiz - all 20 right! Tattaaa! Tattaaa! Tatttaaaaa!!! Edit: I better add, that the "Bulldog" and that monoplane was guesswork. I'm never that good, when it's about winning money! Hey Olham..Not fair looking up the answers! Just kidding Quote
von Baur Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Well done, Olham. I missed #11 and #12. I'll give them #11 but I disagree with their version of 12. Early on the rotary's power-to-weight ratio is what made them so attractive on the scouts. When the craft is already underpowered why add the weight of a closed oil circulating system and a cooling system? Later Fokker used rotaries because he was (politically) frozen out of the inlines being Dutch, in favor of the German Albatros Flugzeugwerk. And I believe the castor oil shortages didn't become a problem until later in the war, well after the Halberstadts and Albatrosses had established themselves. Besides, I don't believe the Allies suffered the same lack of castor oil and yet they built several very good inline fighters. Or are all those pictures of SPAD's and SE5's photoshopped? **edit** I guessed at the Bristol, but it was an "educated" guess. It was a monoplane and I saw the "M" designation and figured..... Also, am I mistaken or did the engine pictured in question 10 look more like a Clerget than a LeRhone? Edited June 27, 2009 by von Baur Quote
