A very interesting event, where I see celebrities for the first time, whose names I had only heard before. Khachaturian's music is very inspiring and frames the video perfectly. Thank you very much, dear Nigel! I hope you and your pets are doing well. Have a great new week! Hugs and kisses!

Thanks Nigel. Love those old Aeroplanes, Flying Jennys, Peckinpaus, Stinsons, etc. I was a kid in the 40s and got to fly in some of them, lots of air, and noise. Still a few of them flying then. I have an old wooden prop from one of them bolted on my wall. Thanks ! Great pictures ! 🌈🇮🇱

It is great to finally see a picture of I.I. Sikorsky. This a great video. You knew that other European nations had the use of airplanes in the Great War, but you have to wonder why the Russians did not.

The Russian Imperial Air Force only came into being in 1912. On 1st January 1913, the Imperial Airforce, or “Emperor’s Military Air Fleet” first seaplane and two wheeled airplanes were assigned to the Baltic, and five seaplanes to the Black Sea. In early 1914, the Minister of the Navy ordered the creation of an aviation department as part of the Naval General Staff with three officers in charge. As World War I broke out, Russian Naval Aviation units were mobilized, in particular the one from the Baltic Sea and Black Sea, as the conflict started in the Balkans, when backing the Serbians. But at the time, they were still at the stage of organizational formation. On August 1, 1914, the Naval Ministry could count on three dozen aircraft, 20 certified pilots to start operations. 10 more officers were trained directly in the fleets and just 10 seaplanes were operational in the Baltic from Libau, 8 seaplanes in the Black Sea, based in Sevastopol and Kilen Bay. Detachments were planned for the Pacific Ocean only from the summer of 1915, but it was never implemented. By early March 1915, this had grown to 77 aircraft: 47 in the Baltic, 30 in the Black Sea (all seaplanes). The staff comprised 78 officers and 859 lower ranks pilots, mechanics and administrative personal. Two vessels and six seaplanes were operated in the black sea, one armed steamship converted into a seaplane carrier, operating five M-5 seaplanes and the cruiser Almaz rebuilt to operate also seaplanes. The naval aviation section was part of Black Sea Fleet and managed by the admiralty, like the Baltic. Then came the Revolution.....

Они все посвящены истории и коллективной памяти.

@NigelFowlerSutton Понимаю. Но мне жаль людей... Живут люди, а потом уходят, и их не видно...
