Building Spruce Bi-Planes WW1..1918 cool Film

The progress achieved in the first 50 years of flight is truly amazing!

I watch till end amazing 😍😍😍

Absolutely loved the video, but the looped jazz drove me crazy! How about add some blues, Sousa, or Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight?

DRIVING THROUGH WASH STATE...THE TREE STUMPS ARE STILL THERE...MINDLESS CUTTING...BUT THEN WAS MANUAL LABOR...YEARS AGO...I WORKED IN PHOENIX ON BELL ROAD...NEXT DOOR WAS AUTO REPAIR...A LOGGER FROM OREGON WAS THERE WORKING HIS MECHANICAL GENIUS ON CARS...HIS BUMPER STICKER SAID IT ALL..."NEXT TIME YOU NEED TOILET PAPER...USE A SPOTTED OWL!!!" SAD...THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF SPOTTED OWLS (AS IT TURNED OUT!!!)

👍

Incredible, thank you for sharing this video, very cool…the pilots who flew these machine had lotta guts..

Can't read that fast, other than that enjoyed vid, very interesting the way things were built in those days, real hands on !

True craftsman, a lost art to todays standards. CNC mills and computers have dumbed us down to a level not likely recoverable.

Fantastic video quality for 1918. I’m amazed it survived.

Fascinating however rather than the ethereal music better served in some jungle movie? I literally took off my ear phones because it was distracting from what was going with the film, probably better served to put a few words about the actual process like what type of spruce or what was the type of knot they were using to tie the linen to the wing frame? Some research into what you were showing would show some actual interest into this very fascinating topic and also important topic!

My father had health problems so he was 4F and built airplane engines the entire war. 1942-45. That's why I'm a 1943 model.

Lovely film, music a very distracting annoyance, especially the droning clarinet😢

May I suggest different music than the out-of-time selection here? Early New Orleans jazz.......Modern Jazz Quartet......Jelly Roll Morton...any gently lilting jazz from the 1930's....any other suggestions?

Interesting to see that the roundels on the wings were applied as peel off stickers rather than painted. As today's stickers are made of flexible plastic, I wonder what material was used in those 1918 vintage ones.

Where is the Black people here ....🤔🙄👍🇺🇸

Please leave the text cards on the screen longer.

Great film…!
Very strange soundtrack to put with the movie though …..! 👀

🎶Saturday night in Toronto🎶

🎶 Saturday night in Toronto🎶 Saturday night in Toronto🎶…. ( Repeat 200 times. )

Best watched on mute. The "music" is truly awful and inappropriate.

Can't read that fast 😢

So many hats. So many ties.
The sound track is haunting.
What is the music?

The technology is both advanced and primitive. You can see the development trend that goes straight on to a Boeing 747!

Quite possibly the most poorly selected backing music ever. But...the visuals, of an era of hard working brilliance, make up for it. Mute ON...

This music is Terrible!

Factory workers wore better clothes back in 1918. They look like white collar workers today. Interesting video, but horrible music.

This is the same process as balsa builders.

music is obnoxious...

Very interesting film. But a couple of notes. The worded captions need to be a lot longer so you can actually read them. The music choice is absolutely awful. I had it on mute throughout the whole video. A shame because it spoils what is otherwise a fantastic video

Unlike some of other commenters, I absolutely LOVE the soundtrack. I'd like to use it on a couple other videos I'm putting together. Any chance you can point me to to the originator?

I didn't know they had music like this in 1918. I like it!

Where was this factory located?

Garbage music wao...

When I first became a pastor in the 1980s, there was an elderly woman in the congregation who had worked in the Bristol factory in England during World War 1. She had photographs of herself stitching fabric onto what I took to be a Bristol Fighter.

Need more time to read these narratives

Wow…what a gem of a video! 👍🏻👍🏻

The USA industrial might is amazing,Only been in the war about 1 year and have built a huge plant with machinery and employing probably thousands and turning out warplanes like a sausage machine.

Imagine working as a logger or sawmill operator during this era. The changes to come in only a few decades in the lumber industry was huge too. 30 years later airplanes were no longer wood airframes and air speeds were more than double what they were for WWI The speed of technology advancement was seemingly faster than anything else.

Great video, not sure about the trippy jazz...

With a name of “souper noodles”, I knew this was going to be interesting.

Please explain your choice of music for this very interesting film.

Great historical film, music sucks!

Irritating soundtrack, I can't take anymore of it

Good video except for the music

Can any living mortal sead it titles in a micro second

Music is Don Cherry, Chenrezig, off the Brown Rice album.

Very good film of construction, but simply awful music!

Craftsmanship is incredible. Just silence would be great though. Thank you

Better with sound off

It's a shame to have to cut down beautiful trees to make weapons of war. Imagine if we lived in peace on the planet and everyone was kind to one another.

Crazy what amount of work went into the first planes from the tree being chopped down to it shooting own other trees..crazy.. music not matching up .booo
