Aviation in Scale - Orange Series No.3
Modelling the Aircraft of World War I
Aircraft were just coming into military use at the outset of World War I, and initially, they were used mostly for reconnaissance, and aircraft like the B.E.2 were primarily used for such missions. Due to the static nature of trench warfare, aircraft were the only means of gathering information beyond enemy trenches, so they were essential for discovering where the enemy was based and what they were doing. These early aircraft were not fitted with radio sets, but messages about enemy troop movements needed to be communicated quickly. Pilots could either drop messages in weighted bags or use message streamers to drop communications to forces on the ground. As trench systems developed and became more complex, it became harder for pilots to accurately record what was happening on the ground and formal aerial photography was introduced early in 1915. Modelling aircraft from World War I has been and continues to be, one of the most popular subjects of the genre, and in this third book in the Aviation In Scale series, we take a look at some of the aircraft of that era, and how to build them in scale.
