  1. Aircraft in WWI By Brianna Bunton

  2. Airships and Airplanes • made out of canvas and wood • could only fly 100mph at most • no parachutes • if hit, the planes would burst into flames quickly They put up posters to educate the people on what the different airships looked like

  3. Fighting with the Airplanes • in 1914 the pilots of the airplanes started taking pistols and rifles with them to shoot the enemy • installed machine guns

  4. continued.. • however, the machine guns tended to fire backwards or to the side • in 1915, Tom Fokker (working for the Germans), installed an interrupter gear which permitted a machine gun to fire with more reliability

  5. ‘Peace’ Now, God be thanked Who has matched us with His hour, And caught our youth, and wakened us from sleeping, With hand made sure, clear eye, and sharpened power, To turn, as swimmers into cleanness leaping, Glad from a world grown old and cold and weary, Leave the sick hearts that honour could not move, And half-men, and their dirty songs and dreary, And all the little emptiness of love! Oh! we, who have known shame, we have found release there, Where there's no ill, no grief, but sleep has mending, Naught broken save this body, lost but breath; Nothing to shake the laughing heart's long peace there But only agony, and that has ending; And the worst friend and enemy is but Death. by Rupert Brooke
