Handley Page and Caproni bombers, Curtiss flying boats, and various single engine biplanes, built in the USA. From living trees to "fighting the Hun", and all stages in between.


Some of the best period manufacturing scenes I've ever found. Note the testing of radio equipment toward the end of the film.

Great video/film.

Think of the glue they were using. No Polyurethane glue there.

I have used one of those filing machines.

Good stuff. Obviously well before OSHA, too.
 
Great film Tom, thanks for posting. Reminds me when I flew up to Cole Palens in Rinebeck NY back in 65, spent the whole day there looking at his planes. Back then I was allowed to set in some of them, nice people! I assume today it's basically a museum where they fly some of the aircraft for display, haven't been there in years. Made my Stearman look like something from the jet age! :highly_amused: His place really took you back in time. :encouragement:
