♦Mod on GFH.SE
I have a wide range of interests, including music, history, and math. I have been playing music for three of four years now and play the cornet, recorder, and piano. 100% of the music on my computer is classical, so you should know what genres I prefer ;). I enjoy studying any history and researching my genealogy. American English is my first language, pero tambien hablo Español. I am also currently taking Calculus 1.

How were dogs used in WW1 You're forgetting dogs' amazing sense of smell and poisonous gases such as mustard gas. |

Amount of time an aeroplane could stay in the air during the last stages of WW1 That's beside my point. We're talking about endurance during a typical WW1 flight. Calculating a heavy bomber's endurance (that was never flown in the war) from its endurance carrying mail with an added fuel tank is not accurate for our purposes. Secondly, I really must argue that aircraft by the end of WW1 were still not on the same page as those of WW2. Look at the HP V/1500. That's a behemoth of a biplane with little semblance to a heavy bomber of WW2 (such as the B-17, for example). Finally I have no idea what the Vickers Vimy has to do with this discussion of WW1 aircraft. |

Amount of time an aeroplane could stay in the air during the last stages of WW1 Although things did improve much during the war, not nearly to the point of those used in WW2. I'd add that the HP V/1500 was never used in WW1 (see my comment on my answer and the wiki article you linked). Quoting aircraft not used once in WW1 (also the Vickers Vimy and cross-Atlantic airmail) is not helping your argument. BTW, I'm not sure how the Wiki article gets 17 hours for the endurance. That could possibly be a post-WW1 variant used in the Third Anglo-Afghan War. |

percentage of British and American troops involved in direct combat with enemy in World War II Welcome to History SE! Could you paraphrase this information to answer the question? As it stands now, this is "barely more than a link to an external site". Link-only answers are susceptible to link-rot which renders them entirely useless. If you could put some of the statistics that answer the question in your answer, that would be great. Thanks! |

Amount of time an aeroplane could stay in the air during the last stages of WW1 @jwenting However, only 35 were produced before the armistice. They were introduced in September and the armistice was signed in November. Only three squadrons ever received them and at that, only for a short period. They were anything but typical being the RAF's first four-engined aircraft. |

Amount of time an aeroplane could stay in the air during the last stages of WW1 @spyder It's normal endurance was only 5 hours. It got 10 hours when there was extra fuel (which limited the number of bombs it could carry). Again, it was a relatively rare airplane, only 84 were manufactured. |

Amount of time an aeroplane could stay in the air during the last stages of WW1 @jwenting Those were hardly common. Only 63 were ever produced. And, its cruise endurance was only six hours. That's not much over the 3-5 average cruise endurance I listed. |

Amount of time an aeroplane could stay in the air during the last stages of WW1 On a more serious note, it depends on the type of plane, the altitude at which it is flying, its speed, its loaded weight, and more. |

Amount of time an aeroplane could stay in the air during the last stages of WW1 Do you mean after the engine stops or before? |
