• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

🎥 'WWI Aftermath: HD Colorized Flight Over Western Front (1919 Doc)'

Great find. The original film is 78 minutes in length and a rare historical view of post WW1.
This is French Naval Officer Jacques Trolley de Prévaux flying the Astra-Torres 5 blimp.
The cockpit details are amazing, and the maneuverability of the blimp is much more than most would expect.
