Slight variations may appear in the final design as product refinements. Essentially a larger version of the SPAD VII with a more powerful V-8 Hispano-Suiza engine, the prototype SPAD XIII C.1 'C' designating Chasseur (fighter) and '1' indicating one aircrew first flew in March 1917. Production process and are not considered defects. Laser cut products have some residue soot and burn marks from the Assemble after painting separately.įurther Note, this is a laser cut mdf product still in its natural state, white glue is used during assembly. Note that dials are shipped loose to make them easier to paint separately if the cockpit / console is custom painted. The following Special Damages are tracked for the Pilot, Engine, Fire and Smoke with 3D printed pegs.ģ-3D printed plastic dials and back plate Special walled space for rest of maneuver deck keeps components from sliding around if the console is picked up and moved during play.ĭials and gages come with 3D printed indicators, holes of each dial are 3/16" for use with neodymium magnets (Not included). Maneuver cards and airplane card stand up against front of "tray" hiding their view from other pilots / opponents. Use to track altitude, climb rate, damage to plane on cockpit dials and gages. Made of 3mm mdf material, comes in a natural tan / beige color. American women were not permitted to fly in the military during WWI. Replaces the cardboard cockpit with a mdf wood tray for each pilot to move around the game. Sepia photograph of a white woman in an aviation uniform sitting in the cockpit of an. From August 1915 to March 1916, the awkward Eindekkers ruled the skies over the Western Front. Cooper bombs could be placed under the wings for attacks on ground targets.Wings of Glory - Custom Cockpit - Dashboard - WW1 version The Spandau 7.92 mm IMG08 was the air-cooled, aircraft version of the famous German MG08 machine gun. The cockpit was aft of the wings, which made visibility down the long nose a bit difficult, but otherwise visibility was good. The first 25 machines had semi-enclosed cockpit glazing, which was later dispensed with, and a wingspan of 8.53 m, which was later shortened. In the past, anything that was a threat to the pilot could not really be. In this way, the machine remained combat-ready even if the still unreliable synchronization gear failed. Serious protection for the pilot was never practical until fairly reciently.
In addition, a 7.7 mm Lewis machine gun was mounted on a Foster carriage above the upper wing, which also enabled aiming upwards, so that enemy aircraft could be attacked from below.
The S.E.5 was one of the first British aircraft to be armed with a twin machine gun: the 7.7 mm (.303 inch) Vickers machine gun was mounted on the left side of the fuselage. However, the revised third prototype based on the S.E.5 proved to be an exceptionally stable aircraft that survived extreme dives at top speed, allowing the machine to go into production.
were allowed to climb into the cockpit of some of the planes to test the controls. Goodden was killed on Januwhen the wings of his S.E.5 broke off. Discover WW1 aircraft and design your own for a top secret mission. However, the engine was unreliable and not yet operational. The first prototype flew on November 28, 1916.
Numerous combat two-seaters such as the B.E.2, the FE.2 and the R.E.8 had already been developed there. Goodden at the Royal Aircraft Factory in Farnborough developed two types of aircraft for the installation of the new 150 hp (110 kW) Hispano-Suiza 8a V8 engine. Under the designations F.E.10 and S.E.5 (Scout Experimental 5) Henry P.
