The B.E. 9
It’s no surprise that a Royal Airforce Brass Member described the B.E.9 as “an extremely dangerous machine from the passengers’ point of view”.The B.E.9 was born during world war I.This plane was innovative in that its machine gun capabilities far outraged that of its counterparts, being a deadly force in writing, we wish it was true for the reality of the aircraft. The British engineers put a lot of attention into making the plane a deadly force for both the enemies and sadly the pilots too, who were completely exposed to enemy fire. They were positioned right next to the propellers which could easily slice them into slivers.
