Airplane Manufacturing in WW1 - Original Footage

Recommended Posts

A film about the production of Albatros scouts.

 

The other seems to be about American planes (the roundel looked American).

You can see some stitching of canvas onto frame here.

 

NOTE: the roundel seems to be applied as a self-adhesive foil, like modern

sign-writing on vans and trucks!

I had a feeling that the Albatros would not be easy to make with all that plywood panelling on the fuselage.   I saw that they had a few women helping out with the fabric - I think the others also used women for this.   Pity about the watermark on the picture though.
