Video: "CONSTRUCTION OF BUCKER BU-181 AIRCRAFT RANGSDORF, GERMANY 73572"

CONSTRUCTION OF BUCKER BU-181 AIRCRAFT RANGSDORF, GERMANY 73572 by PeriscopeFilm This silent German educational film shows the construction of a Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann aircraft, one of the Luftwaffe's standard training airplanes throughout WWII. The prototype Bü 181 (D-ERBV) made its maiden flight in February 1939 with Chief Pilot Arthur Benitz at the controls. After thorough works and official flight testing by the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) the Bü 181 was nominated to be the standard primary trainer for the Luftwaffe. Series production of the Bü 181 commenced in 1940. The production types were designated B to C with only slight variations between each, and could be powered by the Hirth HM 500 A or B. The Bü 181 aircraft was a single-engine low-wing monoplane with fixed undercarriage, split flap, twin controls and two adjustable seats arranged side-by-side. The cabin section of the fuselage was of a tubular steel frame construction whereas the rear of the fuselage had a wooden shell. The wing assembly and tail unit were also of wooden shell construct... ©2016 YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066

[Vintage_and_Warbirds_Pictures] Curtiss-Wright Production

Forwarded message - From: Steve Link steven_link@msn.com

 

For all the pix go to….

This is apparently a test-flight or PR flight somewhere over Buffalo, or a checkout flight from the Kenmore Plant to the Buffalo Airport facility.

A new P-40B is in the foreground. Note the temporary 'grease pencil' production number ("247") on the aircraft's chin and tail. Note also the P-40's tail-wheel isn't retracted. Intentional? A production defect perhaps?

Interestingly, the aircraft to the rear appears to be a somewhat rare SBC-4 Helldiver, pristine and evidently unpainted, except for the yellow leading-edge of the upper wing. The SBC-4 entered service in 1939, was retired by 1943, and had the distinction of being the last U.S. Navy combat biplane. (FYI, the tail number of the pictured ship is likely 4248, visible in another photo in this series.)

This image shows a P-40 B/C loaded on a flatbed trailer at the Buffalo Airport. Likely taken sometime during the winter of 1940–41, this image isn't from the Life Magazine collection. I included it to show the earlier method that Curtiss used to transport finished aircraft to the airport for final testing, checkout, and delivery to the Army. Before the crush of production orders hit in 1940, loading the aircraft on train or truck (as shown here) was efficient enough. But after production increased, Curtiss quickly outgrew its Kenmore Avenue plant, and had to think of creative ways to eliminate bottlenecks in its overtaxed production process. Instead of train or truck, Curtiss test pilots simply flew newly minted aircraft right off the assembly line, using the parking lot of the factory as a makeshift runway.

This image proves the legend that P-40s (and perhaps other aircraft types) were flown right off the assembly line from the parking lot at Curtiss' Kenmore Avenue plant. Apparently, due to production demand space limitations at the factory location, the craft were test-flown to the Buffalo Airport for final checkout and delivery.
