Were there types without rear defense?


Didn't notice that...check the first pic of the FE 2B, see gloves? see helmet? see anything else?

I interprete that "Fee" picture differently.
The gunner is the forward guy, and he operates a forward gun.
For rear defense, he would operate the other.
The gloves are just hung to the reaward MG.
The "helmet" is actually the pilot (either wearing a woolen face mask or is hard to recognise in the photo)
No one missing.

I don't think that's a glove, but the bag to catch the ejected brass casings.

The RE-8 directly above your post shows only a pilot. But the last one in the second batch appears to have a gunner in the front seat. Are these the same plane? I can't tell.
These are all great pics. It's a good feeling to see so many WWI replicas flying these days. Now, if a decent percentage of them could gravitate to working in film, we could break the stranglehold of the much-modified Tiger Moth!

Great pictures. Wouldn't you just love to go up in any of them?

I tell you what, these latest WOFF screenshots are just superb - they actually look real.

Good point - I guess you're right, Flyby.

Hauksbee,

The plane you are on about is actually a BE2 series aircraft, but I know what you are one about as I had to double check and it was only the position of the observer/gunner that gave it away.

Wodin,

If you have any more pictures of the SE5a's I would love to see them.
