Woodworking, French, Soviet, and British.
In the thirties, the french government launched a program to use non-strategic materal in aircraft, primarily wood. This produced such aircraft as the Arsenal VG series of fighters, and the Bloch 700 light fighter. In about 1939 soviet designers produced wooden fighters, the Yatsenko I-28, (with Gnome-Rhone derived M-87 & 88 radial engines) and the better known Lagg series (using initially Hispano-Suiza derived M-105 inline engines.) Is there any connection here. Does anyone know whether the woodworking technologies in these aircrafts were similar, or different. Also, did the British "Wooden Wonder" use similar or dis-similar technologies.
