@scribblermonkey But there's also a thing with hydrogen, as far as I know. It gets into a chemical reaction with oxygen, so basically all you need is a little spark. From a bullet brushing against the frames or anything.

You can imagine Russian troops in 1914-1918 coming up against something like that, and not having much of a counter defense.

Russia had some huge Aviation engineers at the time too, notably Sikorsky, as well as some others. They had some huge planes, but not as famous in the west. After the Revolution both Sikorsky and Seversky, as well as some others, went to the US. Seversky helped to develop the WW2 P-47 Thunderbolt fighter in the US, and Sikorsky helped to develop the Helicopter.
