 I checked this out about 10 years ago, it was posted in 3-4 minute segments back then.  Very well done IMO.

 

 Thanks for posting.

Thanks for this!! I was actually just about to ask for recommendations here, as I'm seriously considering jumping into FC, but have no WWI aviation knowledge beyond knowing names like Mick Mannock, Richthofen, Boelcke, Sopwith, Dreidecker etc.

Don’t forget Cavalry of the Clouds. It’s the best collection of interviews with actual pilots including De Haviland himself on YouTube. His house was a bit big! Arms companies pay well.

Damn they moved this here. I wish there was a WWI specific area for historical stuff.

 Was a wee bit suspicious of this one when the opening scenes were Tiger Moths.... glad I stayed with it. Good stuff!

 

 Thanks for posting!

Hey!! Thank you very much for share!!!

I'm thankful that moving pictures, as primitive as it was back then, was a thing back in those long ago days. It gives all of us us interested in the pioneering days of early aviation an insight into these incredible machines. Not to mention the great Charlie Chaplin and other innovators of this new technology.

 

I have to thank you again Sizzlorr for compiling this list. :good:
