The latest Library and Archives Canada podcast just came out April 7. It features the rise of the British Flying Service and how that new technology affected the Battle of Vimy Ridge.<\/p>\n

In the early days of flight, you had to expect to crash,\u201d says Bill Rawling, historian and author of the book\u00a0Surviving Trench Warfare and one of the experts interviewed in the podcast. \u201cAnd the idea was to see how far, how high you could go before the aircraft would fall out of the sky and they\u2019d have to drag you out of the wreckage. Now, you\u2019re talking about something that when it crashes, you\u2019re going 30 kilometres an hour and you\u2019ve come down from 30 feet and it\u2019s all wood and canvas and it just falls apart around you. And in fact, it\u2019s like a big crunch zone in a car. So, but yeah. You have to expect\u2014Billy Bishop, you know, probably Canada\u2019s most famous pilot ever, when they adopt new aircraft\u2014the Nieuport 17\u2014there were hard landings, as they were called, as he\u2019s learning how to operate this aircraft. And a hard landing may well mean damage. So how many of these hard landings were actually crashes?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you have an ancestor who served in the British or Canadian military, this episode will give you lots of ideas of their roles during the war. It also features descriptions of some of the other experts who participated in this, the world\u2019s first industrial war.<\/p>\n

This is the first of two podcasts featuring Vimy. The Episode is called Beyond Vimy: The Rise of Air Power, Part 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n
