Thread: WWI French Bombers and Cannon Armed Night Attack Aircraft video

  1. #1

    Default WWI French Bombers and Cannon Armed Night Attack Aircraft video



    Rare footage of a Breguet 5/6 Ca2, an unusually streamlined Caproni Ca3 plus the usual cannon armed Voisin - firing at practice targets.

    Thank you, Zoe. That is certainly an unusual piece of film for W.W.1.

    Nice find Zoe, liking the gunners nest on the top plane of the Ca3.

    Very impressive Zoe.
    Guess its time I got those aircraft out again myself and gave them an airing.

    Thanks Zoe a great deal, great rare find of some non-computer real footage, a rep point in-bound here as well. From today on-wards, the WoG Aerodrome is now becoming my exclusive "Good News Channel" TM.

    Neat video. I'd never seen any wing gunner position like that before. Very cool!

    It will be a long time before Ares release models of the Breguet or Voisin, I expect.

    That makes the Voisin a nasty little beast.


    Here's to them what are like us. Damn few and they're all dead.

    Anyone notice that the Ca3 was one of the rotary engine models too? The rotary engined Ca1 was only a prototype, and the inline version Ca1 only saw service with Italy.
