Russian Aeronautical Activities during the First World War - Carl Bobrow
Carl Bobrow, a Museum Specialist at the National Air and Space Museum (Smithsonian), has been interested in activities of the Russian air service since the 1980s and has traveled to Russia as part of his research. His presentation on “Russian Aeronautical Activities during the First World War” centered around the creation of large aircraft by Igor Sikorsky. Sikorsky is remembered more for his innovations with helecoptor technology later, but earlier he designed and built significant, large aircraft for Russia before and during the war.
The presentation delved into the transfer of technology from Sikorsky’s breakthroughs in large aircraft design to other aircraft both successful and unsuccessful (humorous) in Germany and England.
