Pescara Helicopters Flight Testing (1922 & 1923)

Nice one! Totally unknown to me. Thanks

It was completely unknown to me until I was reading up on the inception of the idea of torpedo bombers.

He was in his early 30's during these flights.

I think it was Eric Brown in "Wings on My Sleeve" who talks about relocating aircraft post WW2 and being sent to bring back two early heli's with no prior training. Incredible pilots to be able to learn a new machine like that by the seat of the pants!

Well you can sort of get a feel for what Pescara is trying to do, by flying tethered and working up. Not something I would care to try.

Tired of Drachinifel Naval history...flight is so much more interesting. If only your videos were longer. Thanks Jerry

I'm glad you are enjoying them. The channel is only just getting going, but the potential for expansion is definitely there.
