The Hawker P.V.3 was a proposed replacement for the Hawker Fury using the Rolls-Royce Goshawk engine. The Goshawk was a failure and thus so were all the aircraft based around it, but just as Supermarine's effort with the Goshawk would lead to the Spitfire, so too would the P.V.3 teach Hawker lessons incorporated in the Hurricane.

These photos were taken sometime between 1933 and 1935, most likely at Brooklands.

Milestone Monday

On this day, October 23, 1906, aeronaut Alberto Santos-Dumont (1873-1932) flew his biplane 14-bis for 50 meters at an altitude of about four meters. 14-bis, also known as Oiseau du Proie or “Bird of Prey,” was a powered heavier-than-air machine that took off unassisted by an external launch system at the Bagatelle Gamefield in Paris. This was one of the first heavier-than-air flights certified by the Aeroclub of France and recognized by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.

In celebration of this momentous shift within aerodynamics, we are exploring Santos-Dumont's earlier flights through his autobiography My Air-Ships published in New York in 1904 by The Century Company. Santos-Dumont's first experiments with flight were conducted in lighter-than-air balloons, oblong shaped and filled with buoyant gas. He conveniently named them numerically No. 1- No. 10 and kept detailed records of the successes and failures of each balloon.

Most notably was Santos-Dumont's flight No. 6 in 1901 when he flew around the Eiffel Tower. The flight took 29 minutes and 30 seconds and awarded him the Deutsch Prize. The flight is heavily documented in his autobiography along with all of Santos-Dumont's lighter-than-air designs and airships.

My Air-Ships features a lovely publisher's binding, is a gift of George Hardie, and is part of the George Hardie Aerospace Collection at UW-Milwaukee.

Theler Kobra MD - "Last of the Gotha V-Strutters"

Role: Scout Served With: Gotha Empire, Fokker First Flight: 1595 Strengths: Heavily Armed Weaknesses: Handling & Reliability Inspiration: Albatros D.V (1917)

Description:

The Kobra was obsolete by the end of the war, but so much of Gotha’s infrastructure was built around them that replacing it entirely wasn’t seen as feasible. Theler’s outsized influence meant that even though the Empire had finally secured the castor oil, the new Kobra mark entered service.

The Kobra MD’s overcompressed Bertha F1466 powerplant required manual benzene injections just to start, and had a tendency to blow their cylinders through the valvetrain if you flooded the carburettor. Furthermore, the prototype still suffered wing twisting issues, an embarrassment when most Kreuzer designs were using cantilevers.

It’s generally believed that the Theler corporation essentially executed a coup of the Gotha Empire in order to preserve their order.
