Chabot Solo - Part 1

The films are a collection of humorous tales told to us by "Chabot", fabulously illustrated with both archive movie film and Chabot's unique collection of photographs.

Part One starts in 1913 and tells the story of Chabot's life in the 1st World War and his experiences in the early days of the British Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force. Chabot narrates a story that is gripping because it is a personal history rather than a purely objective one. Included in Part One is the story of the first spydrop ever; the tale of "sleeping under the virgin" (a type of Bleriot plane); his causing a false air raid warning on London for which he was demoted; and his experiment in putting more than one machine gun on a plane -- which led to the British Mesopotania campaign's cavalry stampeding across the desert!
