Cockpit Controlled Rudder Trench Joystick
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately crafted trench art model showcases the Royal Aircraft Factory FE2A biplane, a significant aircraft used during the First World War. The FE2A, manufactured by the Royal Aircraft Factory in Farnborough, England, was a two-seater reconnaissance and bomber aircraft that first flew in 1912. Its distinctive features include a pusher propeller and a large tail fin controlled by a rudder. The model's cockpit is authentically detailed, featuring a joystick for controlling the rudder. This innovation allowed the pilot to maneuver the aircraft more effectively, providing a tactical advantage in the chaotic skies of the Western Front. The Royal Aircraft Factory FE2A saw action during World War I, with the first operational squadron, No. 22 Squadron, forming in April 1915. It was used extensively for reconnaissance missions and light bombing raids, and was praised for its stability and maneuverability. This model is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the trench artisans who created it during the war. The intricate details and authenticity of the model reflect the importance of aviation technology during this period in history. The FE2A's legacy continues to be celebrated in the annals of aeronautical history, as a symbol of innovation and determination during a time of conflict.
