Lawrence is a professional historian and military analyst.

The Morane-Saulnier was pretty much just copied to create the Fokker Eindecker that started the Fokker Scourge of 1915-1916.Ĭhristopher A.

Raymond Saulnier designed the very similar looking Morane-Saulnier, which Roland Garros flew across the Mediterranean from southern France to Tunis. You are able to get up close and personal with the planes. The first British pilots to conduct loops also used this plane. It was also used by Adolphe Pegoud for his various inverted flight and loop demonstrations in 1913. Louis Bleriot flew this plane over the English channel in 1909. Over a thousand were manufactured between 19. It relied upon the Wright brothers “wing warping” for lateral control, vice using ailerons. It was primarily designed by Raymond Saulnier.

This airplane may have been the second most significant airplane in history, after the various Wright Flyers. This second post on the air show includes some more of the pictures I took, although they are far from “professional” Spent the week before down in Virginia Beach at the “Warbirds Over the Beach” airshow.
