In history, flamethrower is an excellent engine, because it uses liquid cooled Merlin and even uses the wing to dissipate heat, but the air-cooled engine can only dissipate heat backward, and the back of the engine is just the cockpit!
This is a difficult problem that almost all air-cooled aircraft will encounter, especially after the use of high-power air-cooled engine.
So the name of fire came.
In fact, the name of Britain's best flamethrower in history was suggested by Robert McLean, chairman of Vickers. This word is a metaphor for girls who are easily excited or hysterical. For example, he calls his daughter "little flamethrower".
At the same time, the name of the aircraft must also use the first letter of super Marin, that is, s, which uses "Spitfire".
Now, flamethrowers are facing serious technical problems! If the test pilot hadn't had an idea and opened the hatch, the test pilot might have been roasted by the fire!
Seeing that the test flight of this kind of aircraft encountered serious problems, air force admiral Hugh caswal doding, who was invited to the side, reassured Mitchell: "the overall performance of the aircraft is good. Although the test flight of the aircraft has exposed problems, we believe that supermarin will solve these small problems. We can order 300 such aircraft first, I hope you will revise these details as soon as possible. "
In this case, the air force has to order a batch! This made Mitchell almost burst into tears! He couldn't believe his ears. At this time, his abdomen began to ache again. He covered his stomach and looked at general daoding with his eyes.
General dowdin nodded to show that he was serious.
There's no way not to be serious. In terms of advanced aircraft, Britain has fallen behind!
Originally, Britain thought the biplane had good circling performance and would play a certain role in combat. However, the Spanish Civil War, a battle watched by the whole world, told them with bloody facts that the biplane was out of date.
The future will be the world of monoplane! Moreover, Germany has been at the forefront! Over Spain, German BF109 fighters have completely gained air control!
All metal skin, lower single wing, closed cockpit and retractable landing gear are the characteristics of advanced fighters. Britain must come up with the corresponding models as soon as possible!
There is no more time to wait. Now, although this aircraft has defects, it must be equipped with a batch first!
General dowdin is the mainstay of Britain.
He was born on April 24, 1882 in the family of primary school principals in dunfrith County, Scotland, England.
After the outbreak of the first World War, dowdin joined the Royal Air Force of the British army. In a short time, he successively served as the director of Dover "transport camp", flight squadron leader, flight observer, staff officer of Royal Air Force headquarters, squadron leader of CE 9 flight squadron, and then as the captain of the 9th flight brigade.
The flight brigade was directly controlled by the Royal Air Force Commander trenchard, and dowdin had several disputes with trenchard over operational guidance.
This also became a stumbling block on the road after daoding. Although he made outstanding contributions, he never became a marshal.
In September 1930, dowdin became a member of the Air Force Committee in charge of supply and research. He has always focused on the development of Air Force Weapons and equipment and engineering technology, such as the development and finalization of Hurricane fighters and Spitfire fighters, the development and application of radar, air ground radio communication, etc.
Last year, the Royal Air Force established several special commands: Fighter aviation command, bombing aviation command, coastal aviation command, etc. Dowdin served as the commander of the fighter aviation force, set up the headquarters in bentripriore, and was committed to the establishment and training affairs.
Historically, he would have retired in 38 years, but it lasted until 40 years, and then the British air battle broke out. In this air battle, the fighter airmen under dowdin's command were the main force to intercept German bombers.
Now, dowdin has deeply felt the backwardness of the Royal Air Force's equipment. He attaches great importance to the flamethrower, which is related to the victory of Britain's future air combat!
Now, the situation in Europe is very unfavorable to Britain. After World War I, Germany, as a defeated country, has been seriously weakened, but now, Germany has become powerful to a terrible extent. Germany has recovered Austria without blood!
Hitler, will you stop there? Of course not! Hitler's appetite will never be satisfied!
"General, please go back to the Ministry of defense." Just as he wanted to continue his investigation, the adjutant said to him with a telegram.
Back to the Department of defense? Is there something urgent? Dowdin took his car and headed for London.
"The Germans, it must be intentional. They want to have a large amount of oil reserves to prepare for the war." When he returned to the Ministry of defense, dowdin heard the noise inside.
The speaker was a fat guy. At this time, he kept smoking with a cigar in his hand. There was a puff of smoke everywhere in the air.
Dowdin knew this man. It was Churchill. Churchill was a regular guest in the army. He once served as Minister of the air force and worked with dowdin at the beginning.
"What's going on?" Asked dowdin.
Churchill muttered, explaining the recent events, that the Germans monopolized all the oil exports of Romania!
This meeting was initiated by Churchill. He hopes that the army will pay attention to it, and then he can ask the government to take corresponding countermeasures. Now Churchill can't do anything well, because he is still in the opposition.
He came in a private capacity.
Germany deliberately raised the oil price in Romania, so as to rush to buy those oil. Moreover, the Germans have opened up all transportation channels. Now, the oil of the whole Romania is continuously transported to Germany!
This is absolutely impossible!
"Anyway, we still have a large number of oil fields in the Middle East. Even if the Germans buy all the oil from Romania, it will do us no harm." Said a navy general.
"No, don't you all see it? Germany has been rearmed. The goal of the Germans is the whole of Europe and revenge for their first World War! " Churchill was almost angry.
World War I was a cruel world war. After World War I, the whole UK was covered with an atmosphere of pacifism. From Party leaders to ordinary people, they believed that there would never be a cruel war again. Now, Britain is in the process of disarmament.
Only Churchill was keenly aware of the problems.
Later, Germany occupied the Rhineland demilitarized zone. This is a clear violation of the Treaty of Versailles. As a result, neither Britain nor France expressed strong opposition. Only Churchill saw the disadvantages faintly.
As a result, no one paid attention to Churchill because Churchill was always telling bad news. He almost lost his position in the party.
Then Germany annexed Austria.
Germany is gradually becoming stronger, but Britain is still dreaming of peace, which is ridiculous!
The Germans began to carry out strategic crude oil reserves again, which was an early warning of the beginning of the war. Churchill had a keen premonition of these and came to the Ministry of defense to unite and warn the government. Unfortunately, no one supported him!
"You see, the expansion of the Germans will not stop. Their next step must be the Sudeten region!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
