The day everything went wrong for the RAF, the battle of Barking Creek. We are at dawn, the 6th of september, 1939. The war has just been declared on Germany. At RAF Hornchurch and North Weald Airbases in South East England, all base personnel are on alert. Shortly after 6 a.m., a faulty radar announced the arrival of unidentified planes. While only a few planes would have been sufficient, an entire squadron of Hurricanes from North Weald Airfield and other Spitfires from Hornchurch Airfield took off. But while the ennemy planes did not actually exist; 2 hurricanes piloted by the aviator Rose and officer Hutlon-Harrop took off from their bases in North Weald without being instructed to do so and tried to catch up with the planes that had left previously. The rest was a disaster. The anti-aircraft guns, radars and lighting battery all communicated different informations and the communication was very poor. In what is still confused today, the 2 hurricanes could not be identified and were mistaken for German Bf-109s before being shot down, which killed Officer Hutlon-Harrop. This incident which remained secret for decades was ironically called the Battle of Barking Creek, a location between the bases of North Weald and Hornchurch. Hutlon-Harrop was the 1st victim of the RAF and also ... the 1st killed by a Spitfire. 《 The Historians Alliance》 @stosstruppen1918 @_the_great_war @world_war_pics1914.45 @ww1photos_info @historicalmemesandstuff @world_at_war_33 @secretsofhistory1789 @panzers_colorized @ww1.facts @papabismarck @ww2documents @in.stahlgewittern @ww1.metaldetecting - @ww2_forgotten_battles on Instagram

(Baca Caption)🇩🇪 Dornier Do 17, kadang-kadang disebut sebagai Fliegender Bleistift (pensil terbang), adalah pembom ringan Nazi Jerman selama Perang Dunia II. Itu diproduksi oleh perusahaan Claudius Dornier, Dornier Flugzeugwerke. Pesawat ini dirancang sebagai Schnellbomber (pembom cepat), pembom ringan yang, secara teori, akan sangat cepat sehingga bisa berlari lebih cepat dari pesawat tempur yang bertahan. Dornier dirancang dengan dua mesin yang dipasang pada struktur sayap bahu dan memiliki konfigurasi sirip ekor kembar. Jenis ini populer di kalangan krunya karena penanganannya, terutama di ketinggian rendah, yang membuat Do 17 lebih sulit ditembak daripada pembom Jerman lainnya. Dirancang pada awal 1930-an, Bersama dengan Heinkel He 111, pesawat ini adalah jenis pembom utama angkatan udara Jerman pada tahun 1939–1940. Dornier digunakan selama awal perang, dan terlihat beraksi dalam jumlah yang signifikan di setiap teater kampanye besar sebagai pesawat garis depan hingga akhir tahun 1941. Produksi Dornier berakhir pada pertengahan 1940, mendukung Junkers Ju 88 yang lebih baru dan lebih bertenaga. Pengganti Do 17 adalah Dornier Do 217 yang jauh lebih bertenaga, yang mulai muncul pada tahun 1942. Sejumlah besar contoh yang masih hidup dikirim ke negara Poros lain serta negara-negara seperti Finlandia. Beberapa Dornier Do 17 selamat dari perang dan yang terakhir dihancurkan di Finlandia pada tahun 1952. Pada 3 September 2010, Royal Air Force Museum London mengumumkan penemuan Dornier Do 17Z buatan Henschel yang dimakamkan di Goodwin Sands di lepas pantai Kent, Inggris. Pada 10 Juni 2013, tim penyelamat mengangkat badan pesawat dari dasar laut.

- Goodyear experimented with an instant ready to fly inflatable airplane that could be airdropped in a compact care-package so that downed pilots could fly out of enemy territory, the inflatable structure was made of numerous fillaments that added insane strength and doesnt deflate when punctured.
