@2c1496 That "commentator" is DePinedo himself, a person whose mother tongue was Italian, so don't be surprised if he had an accent... WHO ARE YOU, YOU LOUSY AMERICAN, to criticize anybody for an accent??!!! Americans are so notorious for their ignorance of foreign languages.
@mouloudo You idiotic frog, the Italians had in 1933 a long-standing record of long range flights: 1920, Ferrarin-Masiero, Roma-Tokyo, 18,000 km = 11,000+ mi, 1927, DePinedo to New Orléans, 1932, Balbo, with 15 planes, to Brazil; 1933, Balbo again, with 24 flying boats, Roma-Chicago. Whom do you frogs have to compare, Blériot with jis trans-channel flight (and his plane had an ITALIAN Anzani motorcycle engine...) Now go eat some fried frog legs and swill them down with that rotgut, French wine.
Jeeze !! All you have to do is look at that aircraft to realiise the the lift to weight ratio was in the negative. A thousand gallons of fuel? Let's see, at 6 lps. per gallon, that's 6k pounds. That's a stretch for a multiple engine ship to leave the ground. They just don't do it!! And, yes, before you ask, I am a certifiide FAA air craft mechanic. =Stefan=
no kidding, the spirit of st louis didnt even have that much fuel, not half as much, and it barly got off the ground, and that flew from new your to france.
@angryace13 Maybe that was because the distance from Roosevelt Field, L.I., NY (NOT "new your"!!!) to Le Bourget airport, Paris, was about 1/2 of DePinedo's intended flight. Only an american could make a comment like this,
maybe you should just save your fingers and turn of your computer, and stop criticizing comments made a year ago, beacuse my comment was not exactly on the money. Roosevelt field New York! sorry for missing one letter Mr Internet Troll, its called a typo and i cant fix it! Only a American can make that comment? really? so now your going to criticize my country too and be so rude over something so small? you are such a child man, are you sure your old enough to be on youtube?
@angryace13 The comment may have been made a year ago, but it's still there today and it's still STUPID, establishing a comparison. . "My comment simplified for an Italian to understand", indeed... It seems you are rather prone to "typos", buster, maybe you better read carefully what you've written before you send it off. This one is not the only reason why your country is apt to be criticized. "Rude"? Truth never is rudeness... Am I "old enough to be on YT"? How about 82, which IS my age??!!!
truth never is rude? what truth? a typo? thats the only real mistake i made in that one year old post was a typo, the only truth your telling us is that you like spending your time smashing people, and showing how much better you think you are than everyone ells! this is why you get so much criticism, and the last time i checked Italians made typos too, and i bet you have in the past, son don't send me this garbage your MR perfect...
@angryace13 Evidently, you are too thick and obtuse to get the drifts of someone else's writings... The "rudeness" bit did not refer to that typo, but you are unable - or unwilling - to go back, read again and try to understand what I meant. Of course, in order to "understand", one needs a certain type of equipment... Congratulations on your statistical study on those made by all Italians. Fella, you are as annoying as a horsefly, a.k.a. gnat. Piss off now, you're a nuisance, attaboy...
i completely understand what you said, your trying to brag about how much longer Francesco was trying to fly, right, thats why he had twice the fuel capacity? no its "how pathetic us Americans are?" who knows with you and the only person dense in the head here is you! your supposedly "81" years old, i think you would have the wisdom to understand manners. and now you call me a horsefly? really shows your wisdom there...
@angryace13 1. I don't remember to have used "pathetic", please document it... 2. As to "manners", yes, I AM 82 and whenever a horsefly (a.k.a. "gnat") pesters around and bothers me I don't think manners are called for, I - who am VERY WISE - find it quite legitimate to smash it with a net or giive it a whiff of insecticide. Now, GNAT, what's your medicine, which of the two you prefer for yourself? ppPP-ssSS-HH.TTttt, that's it, there you are, belly up and all your dirty legs up in the air...
ok ""Buster" just turn off your computer, and quit trying to make yourself look so great, beacuse all you are doing, is making yourself look like an ass. i don't think you tried reading my post hard enough either, you where too busy being cocky and arrogant. once again the point i was trying to make was that plane is not getting off the ground. too heavy...? no fly...? lift does not overcome gravity? understand? now go away old Mosquito, quit buzzing around my head.
maybe you are just trying to make a point to the world about the "US being losers?" is that it? who knows with you, I'm starting to doubt your really 81 years old, i think your just some 15 year old Internet troll with no life, posing as a 81 year old man. quit trying to pretend like you don't understand what i'm saying beacuse you know perfectly well what i am saying, and i am sure a whole bunch of people here do too, either your pretending, or you just don't have the "equipment."
@angryace13 Hey, you fellas out there, any of you has an idea who this "angryace13" character really is? "Angry" he surely shows to be, but ... "ace"??!!! "Ace" in just WHAT??!!! He buzzes so much about, methinks he's the ace gnat of the century... Ever heard the expression "angry FLY"??!!! THAT must be it, the "aceangry gnat". SHOO, you FEELTHY beast...
"Truth is never rude." you are just plane rude and thats all there is too it! you where just calling someone a frog... your argument is invalid and you have no room to talk, you have about 5 or more posts on here, of you doing nothing but slamming peoples comments, how is making fun of another country not rude! and buy the way, there are rude ways of telling the truth buddy, so don't tell me all this garbage about what you think truth is.
and no crap the distance was twice as long, but maybe i was just stating that... IDK the airplane was heavily overladen... 1,000gallons of AV gas!! do you know how much weight that is, i can almost guarantee you that is close, to over the weight of that aircraft itself! thats in between 6,000 to 7,000LB of fuel aboard! simple comment, my comment simplified for a Italian to understand, there is no way in a fat freezing chance in hell that plane is getting off the ground!
At a certain point he must have lost control of the aircraft and went off the runway. His attempt to continue despite the reduced plane speed resulting from the uneven terrain made the rest.. RIP
Whoa.. Can't imagine why he didn't abort the take off.. I go to Floyd Bennett Field whenever I'm in NYC and have a little time.. It's hard to imagine this happening in front of the administration building, it's such a peaceful place these days. Will think of this next time I'm there. Great video Bomberguy, keep 'em flying..
Bomberguy; I was wondering if you have ever heard of the Lithuanian flyers Darius & Girenus who took off from Floyd Bennett field right after Wiley Post in his Winnie Mae. They were trying to fly non-stop from New York to Vilnius and had only 400 km to go when they crashed in the storm. You seem to have so many newreel films, I know that they did film the take off. It was on july 15th, 1933 at 6:24AM EDT.
Nel 1925 Francesco De Pinedo e il motorista Ernesto Campanelli volano per 370 ore su tre continenti, percorrendo con l'idrovolante S.l6ter "Gennariello", 55.000 chilometri da Sesto Calende a Melbourne, a Tokio fino a Roma. Sempre De Pinedo, questa volta con Carlo Del Prete e con il motorista Carlo Zacchetti, compie nel 1927, a bordo dell'S.55 "Santa Maria", una crociera di 46.700 chilometri sul percorso Elmas-Porto Natal-Rio de Janeiro-Buenos Aires-Asunciòn-New York-Terranova-Lisbona-Roma.
And you are right. In the early 30's the common record pilot had to be a little irresponsable. When i saw the video, my first feeling was related with adrenaline....I imagine myself trying to do on those years something risky in front of cameras and public....no reverse. I thing that's why so many extraordinary record pilots died.

My guess is that the plane was either too heavy or wrongly balanced due to the extra fuel needed for the long flight to Baghdad.

Pretty morbid. Thx for sharing.
Surely he would have taken into account the weight of fuel he was carrying for such a long flight?
Thats what I intitially thought but now not sure, it was all pretty unknown then and these pilots were always pushing the limits.
Maybe the weight WAS too heavy but he thought he'd be able to get it off the ground ok.
I cant beleive he panicked in the cockpit as some people suggest.
