Thank you Mr. Ryheul. This is truly OUTSTANDING. I can't imagine the guts of the passengers to go up in that. The crew were in love with and used to flying, but the passengers...? Your work is the greatest I've ever seen. My father was born in 1916 and said when he was in grade school and an airplane flew over, the kids would run outside to watch this fantastic thing fly over. He eventually worked at P & W aircraft engine company as a designer of jet engines in the 60's > 80's. He always said it was amazing that in his life time he saw this kind of aircraft right up to the space shuttle and a little beyond before he passed in 2012. Happy New Year 2022.
What a fascinating film of such fascinating machines. The guys that flew these things were a different breed. The controls weren’t power assisted and it took the strength of two men to operate them. Despite that, the landing was perfect. Thanks for uploading this.
I'm just glad that someone back then had the foresight to record this, and that the footage survived both world wars! It's amazing to see this, truly amazing!
Here's a bit about the stories of the Zeppelin-Staaken R.XIVa planes: By the end of the war only 3 were completed (serial numbered R 69, 70 and 71; R 69 and 71 appear in the video) and none saw combat action. These planes were leased in 1919 to Ukraine with Deutsche Luft-Reederei (DLR) and Ukrainian markings to fly diplomatic and cargo missions. - R 69 made several flights from Germany to Ukraine. In October 1919, it was confiscated in Austria near Aspern and transferred to the Italian Aviation Corps. - R 70 had to make a forced landing in September 1919 near Cristinești in Romania and was badly damaged. The plane was repaired by the Romanians and in October it was flown to Bucharest where it was then used as a school plane for several years to train bomber pilots. - R 71 crashed in July 1919 in Germany, near the city of Ratibor, while returning from a diplomatic mission killing all 8 (7 crew, 1 passenger) of its occupants.
@@raymunchieftain4170 Maybe you're thinking of the R. VI or the R. XIV, I think those did see combat. The R. XIVa(modified version of the R. XIV) wasn't the only model of Staaken R planes.

Just can't imagine how exciting that must've been to work on the design. The mechanics skill and daring to ride between two powerful engines in the open. Wow!!
Fascinating! These behemoths were around at such an early phase of flight.Interesting to see an industrial and cogent Germany below. The music was wonderful. Whoever wrote it deserves an orchestra! Thank you for the work you have done, and the uploading of this film.
It is past amazing to think that these terrifying kites were state of the art in aviation only 20 years before I was born. The engineers, flyers and crews seem brave to us, and I suppose they were but they were also early adopters of the new technology of flight. Thanks for sharing this!
Absolutely amazing technology of the German People in WW1. Haunting to see people that are accomplishing these aeronautical marvels that are long since dead and gone.
Pilot had superb landing skills. Kept wings level in a stabilized approach. Then wings level into flare and touchdown straight down the runway, amazing skills.
Wow, a pilot, a co-pilot, a starboard navigator, a port navigator, first starboard flight engineer, second starboard flight engineer, first port flight engineer, second port flight engineer, a load master and ten passengers ......... it's a wonder they flew....... anywhere. I'm sure they had a coal fired heater (can't say I saw a chimney on the aircraft). they surely had an ice box for perishables and at the far back end of the aircraft, a porta-potty for sure. It would appear they had plenty of fresh air. Five very quiet engines (nobody seemed to require hearing protection) ! They had Michelin road maps (ATC was optional I guess). What a blast ! The one on floats required 36 kilometers of open water to get air borne and it looks like they used an old city tram for the front end ! Gotta love the 33 kilo anchor tied to the front ! Men must of had larges cohonies back then.
You have to keep in mind, many of these people grew up using outhouses for toilets, and probably had no running water in their homes, unless they were from rich families! Or electricity!
Such an amazing glimpse into this magnificent aircraft. Wish I knew what the mechanics were up to in the nacelles they actually flew in them to work on the engines in flight at times. The balls it must have taken. “I’ll just walk out on the wing to fix this”
He is starting each engine by hand cranking the starter (magneto)! Each engine nacelle was larger than an equivalent single engine fuselage. Like 5 aircraft flying in perfect formation!
@@Jmp5nb It wouldn't surprise me if they're manually adjusting spark advance and mixture and other incredibly basic things that we have taken for granted since the 20s.
They even hed a sperate engineer in charge of fuel in the cockpit. It took 10 people to operate it had a commander and 2 pilots and 2 copilots and 2 radio operators
Whats really amazing is that in mere 100 years we went fron this to a crafts going to other planets. The leap from the 1st flight just 10 years before them is as astounding tho!
wow - that's a century ago - only maybe 10 years or so after the Wright Brothers first controlled powered flight - I like the windows at the front of the last-shown float plane - guess they weren't expecting to go too fast !
Quite a production! Varied, difficult and steady camera positions. I would like to know exactly what those fuselage doors were like! The seem magical. Would not want to be a mechanic on board for sure. To need so many people to get it ready for flight seems totally impractical to me. Hard to imagine what foul weather operations would be like for the crew. Thanks for bringing this to us.
Amazing video of aviation over 100years ago ! Aircraft never cease to amaze me even today as I currently work on the latest technology on the 787-8 and 787-9 World Crusiers.Thanks to the people of Germany for having the insight to film such aircraft for future generations to see ,enjoy and wonder about the possibilities of flight.
The Staaken E./20 built in 1919 was probably the most advanced plane designed during WW1. Metal construction, deep section monoplane wings with four engines built into the wings, enclosed cockpit. The allies forced the Company to destroy it. Nothing like it would be designed and built again until the 1930’s.
Gilbert...not Lynette. Another good film Herr Ryheul. Very very good. What a magnificent old bus! I've flown Tiger Moths, Stampes, Pitts, Starduster & Acroduster, but a flight in a Staaken... Amazing! The engineers in the nacelles must have been deaf after a few years. Remarkable amount of room for cockpit crew. Very well done. Thank you!
Remarkable film! Those engine guys must have been nice and toasty inside those nacelles, but I'll bet they traded their hearing for that warmth. Not really a fair trade, but one has to consider the open-air cockpits the pilots flew in, too. Tough choice.
Wait…a dude was stationed IN EACH ENGINE NACELLE DURING FLIGHT?!? And, they loitered engines during flight to save fuel. Holy crap!! Cool video. Cheers!!
By 1918 the Germans had developed an all metal enclosed bomber of which the likes would not be seen by most nations until the 1930's. The war ended before these saw service.
Just think, the Wright Brothers first flight was only in December, 1903 and this enormous technical achievement took its first flight only 13 years later!
13 years after this film was made jet powered prototype plane was being build. Another 13 years and jet fighers were hunting skies. 100+years later there is a new video of large jet drone capable of launching small satellites right here on yt.
@@tandemcompound2 Ive been a few feet away from of one of those big running ww1 aero engines for just a couple of minutes and could barely stand it. And thats with modern hearing protection. Every one of those engineers should have gotten a medal.
What got me was the engineering in the little things. Like the slide up entrance way closure on the engine nacelles. They're nearly seamless where other makers would probably have a flimsy canvas door.
I have searched for the musical score used and found some but not as beautiful as the score used for the video. I love seeing these historic video of these amazing times.
How would you like the job of mechanic, out you went to fix the engine during flight. Massive brass balls I’m surprised it could fly with so many on board

The Kaiser should have not listened to his generals and stayed out of the conflict between Austro-Hungary and Serbia. The world would have been much better off. No Hitler or WW2 would probably been the result.
The Kaiser was responsible. Germany is responsible for the outbreak of World War I and was all too happy to have driven Austro-Hungary into war. The ridiculous allegation about an allegedly shared war guilt has long since been invalidated. It took two world wars to make it clear to the world that Germany wanted to gain complete power over Europe and It did not take long and the first horrific German war crimes were a fact, already in WW-I.
