I've always been fascinated with this era of aviation development and I've been truly pleased to have found your excellent channel. I recently ran across some old photos of the Caudron R.11 bomber, and though not the sleekest and sexiest aircraft of the war, I found it's story to be interesting. I'm sure you can't do one of your studies on every obscure aircraft, but to I would love to see you address more of the large (or medium) multi-engine bombers. The Ilya Mourometz and Stakken are some of my favorites. I just love the look of these machines. Cheers and thank you for what you do, sir...

Given enough time and continued growth in the channel, pretty much everything is open to be addressed at some point. For example it occured to me just today that brief histories of individual squadrons might be interesting. Bombers are on my to do list, including the large ones.

Very much enjoy these videos. It's a nice pack of early planes that are rarely covered by others!

Glad you enjoy them! As far as I am aware I am the only KZbinr covering aircraft from World War 1 and earlier. They are in danger of being "lost" from the public awareness, whereas aircraft from World War 2 are still current.

I've always liked the Cauldron G3 and G4 , the G3 at the RAF museum at Hendon has such a small cockpit that I always thought my height of 6ft 3" would not fit. People were a lot smaller back then. Great documentary, very informative.

I like the G.3. Always have. I have the impression that the French used the G.3 for the cross-country qualification of their flying training.

I was surprised at how long the G3 remainder a useful aircraft. Ryamonde de Laroche used one to gain the women's altitude record in 1919.

@@Forgotten_Aviation I can see why no one builds and flies the G3 anymore. With all those wires, it must be a bear to maintain.

Apparently there are two air-worthy replicas. One is at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in the USA, the other is at the Aviation Museum of Metoděj Vlach in Czech Republic.
