RAF Training Films

These "old" training films are So Good...excellent.
I can/do watch them for hours.
My hobby is guitar amps...I really have gotten good use from the Navy/Army electronics videos...also circa WWII.
Just something about the way the guys talk, and the manner in which the topic is presented...just sits well with my personality It seems . I am really able to absorb the info and learn a lot from these videos.
Not sure why exactly...simpler times...more my speed..."The Kings English"...Perhaps I am just kind of a square dude that belongs in the 1940's...
Anyway...going back over these videos again.
Thanks so much for posting them...I really appreciate it.
carry on

The WEFT system of identification. (11 Minutes.)

The WEFT (Wingshape, Engine configuration, Fuselage shape and Tail type) system of recognition was first developed by Chief Observer C.H. Gibbs-Smith of the Royal Observer Corps.
The intent of this system was to reduce friendly-fire incidents and increase kills of enemy aircraft; it would have been shown to both anti-aircraft teams and flight crews and fighter pilots.
All aircraft are built with the same basic elements: wings to provide lift, engine(s) to provide motive power, a fuselage to carry the payload and controls, and a tail assembly which usually controls the direction of flight.
These elements differ in shape, size, number, and position. The differences distinguish one aircraft type from another.
An instructor can isolate the individual components for description and study as separate recognition and identification features, but it is the composite of these features that must be learned to recognize and identify an aircraft.
The WEFT Features illustration shows wings, engine(s), fuselage, and tail features of aircraft.

Allied countries may teach more or fewer features of aircraft in their recognition and identification programs.
In many cases the animation for these films was created by the Walt Disney Co. as part of their contribution to the war effort.
