Post by: FLS on January 24, 2020, 08:51:54 PM
WW1 ace Ernst Udet airshow in America 1933 colorized. Note the torque maneuver with smoke.
Otto Von Hagenburg and the Bücker/Burgess Bu 133 Jüngmeister flying snap rolls in the 1930's.

What are the chances German pilots in WW2 knew all about 'stick stirring'? :D

Awesome videos. Jungmeister is my favorite airplane of all time, rarely see old videos of them.

Reminds me of one of my favorite movies: The Great Waldo Pepper.

Good movie. I expect you know the Kessler character is based on Udet.
Udet gave Eric Brown an aerobatic ride when he was a boy visiting Germany with his dad.

Kessler flew a Jungmeister in the movie. It is a shame they didn't give him a Flamingo.

You know it is a shame that so much of aviation moves forward because of the desire to kill the other guy. It really is a beautiful endeavor, if only people were happy with just the amazing ability to fly.

If only automobiles were better instruments of war, we'd have flying cars.
