Victory Through Air Power movie poster.

Movie (1942)

Starring:
Alexander P. de Seversky (himself)

A cartoon by Disney's studios which tells in the first part, the story of aviation; the second one recalls evolution of air power; the last one introduces A. de Seversky and the theory of his book about future air power and strategy. (note: some airplane are drawn with great accuracy but most have unusual details (for example: armament or engine) and a handful are pure caricatures).

Note: This is an animated film. The aircraft shown in it are therefore not actual aircraft, however, where a reasonable depiction of an actual aircraft has been created, it has been identified as best as possible.

Santos-Dumont Demoiselle & Robert Esnault-Pelterie REP n°1

Robert Esnault-Pelterie was a french pionneer who studied aircrafts not with pragmatism but with really a scientific mind. He is the inventor of the joystick which was on his REP 1 (the red plane on this screenshot).

Ader Eole

This Flying Swan is in fact the Eole, the first trial of french pioneer Clément Ader. This steam machine made a controversial flight in 1890 but Clément Ader is much more realistic in his opinion in future warfare.

Blériot XI Taxi-Pingouin

Here without engine, it's the aircraft with the shortest wingspan for very first lessons and training limited to taxiing.

Jean-Marie Le Bris Albatros

Joke based on the vintage 1856 winged boat of the frenchman Jean-Marie Le Bris. The original one was just a glider.

N° 11 of Jimmy Doolittle (in 1932) and N° 4 (yellow) winner of the 1931 Thompson Trophy (with Lowell Bayles at the controls).
In fact, the two planes never flew together as the Z crashed before the first flight of the R-1.

The wingspan of the Douglas XB-19 is wider of the first powered flight made by the Wright Brothers.

Project LRCF

Has some lines of the future Republic XF-12A, a 1946 prototype for a long-range photo-reconnaissance. The draft of the LRCF is about a much more heavier and powerfull bomber.

Fictitious Bomber

Like a first draft of the future Convair B-36 (which genesis started only a handful months before the movie). Indeed Convair started studies of its Model 36 a twin tail configuration.
