JimAttrill 24 Posted June 27, 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! Well, the Bulgarians had had a few recent wars with the Serbians (who are next door after all). I agree that the Zep questions were badly worded for the answersthey wanted. And I still wonder if the castor oil answer is actually true, though there was a shortage in Germany of lots of basic food stuffs (if you can think of Castor oil as food that is). I thought there was just a general prejudice against the French-designed engines, rather as the RFC/RAF didn't like any sort of monoplane until the middle thirties.
