Re: Photo USAAS Monoplane ID needed

Well Clint

It was the old way of testing structural integrity.
Instead of Fokker placing large groups of people on top of his aircraft's wings, a bit more scientific way was to fill sandbags with an exact amount (weight) of sand and stack them on the most vulnerable parts of the aircraft - wings generally and determine when they broke.

Cheers
Stig
