History of Industrial Design Week 5: BONUS content: Dirigibles

[@kidmohair8151]

I ran across these and as lifelong student of art and design I am rather enjoying them. Thank you Mr Bird, for going to the trouble of an upload! However, being a bit of an aircraft nut, the aircraft on the left side at 29:09 are incorrectly identified...the WW1 one at top is a Bristol Fb2, and the 4 engine bomber below it is a B 24 Liberator (I think...the cockpit glazing looks a little odd)

THANK YOU!!!!!!! This is such useful information! There is no way for me to fix it here, but I am grateful to have the information accurate for the future. It is actually pretty challenging to identify airplanes for those of us who are airplane illiterate!!!!!

@@HistoryofID stop shouting;-)...You're quite welcome! I believe that if you have the time, google image search would get close to identifying m o s t (not all) problematic images

Stephen Priestly has generously offered me lots of really interesting and specific information to help me with some of my airplane details and added: "A KZbin commenter wondered if your "Boeing B-17" might be a Consolidated B-24 Liberator. Nope. Better than that, it's actually the sole prototype Douglas XB-19 (Air Corps serial 38-471) - an enormous 'hemispheric bomber' from 1941. When it first flew, the XB-19 was the world's largest airplane but it was quickly eclipsed by the more advanced (and practical) Boeing B-29 Superfortress." Thought you would enjoy the added detail!

I started with your "History of ID Week 5: Art Deco" to help me with an Arch history essay. Now I'm just watching these like podcasts...

The first 4 weeks of the class have now been posted for the fall semester! I watch them for the same reason as you :)

I needed this video, covering dirigibles specifically. Thank you, Mr. Bird, it answered a lot of questions I had about this period and topic.

I have recently discovered your channel. I am really enjoying your excellent content and interjections of humor.

[@jamesboekbinder3967]

Great lecture! What a treasure trove these are.

[@utkandora]

The section at the end of Matt Bird snacking is me at home entire day now.

Really excellent information. The cockpit view of the USS Macon still looks futuristic, 92 years later.

very tiny detail: Hindenburg not berg. Greetings from a fan in Germany

[@RobertVazquezNYC]

These are absolutely great!!!

[@lifesgood9528]

Loved this video. So fascinating, I learnt a lot! 🧐 The humour is fab too 😂

[@davidgold5961]

28:02 the flames were not caused by the hydrogen, they were caused by the nitro cellulose lacquer, which is used to to paint the outer fabric. This is colloquially referred to as DOPE, used on fabric aircraft since 1903.

HAHA! Pretty good Tom Hanks! Such interesting history I knew nothing about! Thank you!

[@HomeBuiltByHoward]

Again. Thank you for such great info.

24:00 Hindenburg. Here is a VR tour I came across a while ago. " VR Tour - The Zeppelin Hindenburg " on the channel " InRangeTV "

[@HistoryofID]

14:10 That $ 0.50 stamp in 1933 is $ 10.19 in 2021

[@deborahmatatall]

I have completely lost 2021. I keep looking at the dates these were posted and thinking it was just a year ago. It’s 2022! 🤦🏼‍♀️

As a burgeoning artist and a lover of flight, I really enjoyed this installment. At 29:10 or so, you're right to question the Sopwith Camel designation...that's a Bristol F2b: thevintageaviator.co.nz/projects/f2b/f2b-history Wonderful videos...I've recommended this series to a dozen people already.
