German in flight refueling demonstrated (WW2)

A captured World War II German film describing procedures of the Junkers in-flight re-fueling. Early tests being conducted with obsolete aircraft, and later with Junkers 290 Cargo-transport planes. Junkers Ju-290 cargo-transport aircraft towing a Junkers Ju-88 bomber inflight. View of a single-engine, high-wing obsolete model monoplane parked on a field with pilot in open cockpit. View of the aircraft tail showing the in-flight refueling coupling assembly as it is attached to aircraft tail. A mechanic walks over to the aircraft’s tail assembly, picks up the square-shaped coupler and shows how it pulls away on cable from aircraft tail assembly. German mechanic holding the coupler in his hands and demonstrating the hook-on attachment. View of the interior or open cockpit of same obsolete plane showing the coupling cable pulley assembly. German mechanic placing and pulling the coupler assembly away from tail of parked aircraft. The pilot starts engine. The obsolete aircraft flies. View of an unidentified twin-engine, low-wing, light aircraft. Light aircraft showing nose upon which a special hook arresting device is attached for catching the coupler. An extreme close-up view of the tip of hook refueling setup. Extreme close-up view of a civilian demonstrating way in which coupler hook assembly attaches to the hook arresting device. View of the pilot inside pilot's cockpit as his hand pulls levers which release coupler hook from arresting device. Aerial view of same high-wing old type monoplane flying with the coupler coupling assembly attached to its tail. Pilot wearing goggles in cockpit unwinds coupler cable. Coupler trailing on cable behind aircraft. Twin-engine light aircraft flying behind first aircraft. Same aircraft as the refueling coupler hook-device gets closer to its nose. View of same coupler taken from first aircraft housing coupler cable release. Aircraft with hook arresting device flying as coupler comes closer to being engaged. Coupler and arresting device as they become coupled. Two coupled aircraft flying for refueling. Pilot in rear seat of first aircraft cranks the coupling cable or pulls the second coupled aircraft towards tail of first aircraft. View of the two aircraft as they slowly draw to each other. The same scene as seen from the rear of first towing-coupled aircraft. Extreme close-up of the coupler and air-to-air refueling device as they become disengaged when pilot pulls a releasing handle. The two aircraft as coupler disengages from the arresting device and the aircraft become uncoupled. The coupler hook assembly taken from rear of second aircraft having the arresting device attached to its nose. Coupler hook catches the arresting device midair. Twin-engine light aircraft flying from left to right with the coupler assembly gliding in front of it until it becomes engaged.

Luftwaffe Junkers plane refuels airplane in flight (WW2)

A captured World War II German film describing procedures of the Junkers in-flight refueling method. A Luftwaffe Junkers Ju-290 cargo-transport aircraft taxiing in an airfield. Animation depicts how a coupler hook and arresting device operate in the coupling of Ju-290 and Ju-88 bomber aircraft for air to air refueling. The diagram shows the flight direction (“Flugrichtung”). The coupler hook coupling assembly mounts in the tail of parked Ju-88 aircraft. Interior shots of the coupler coupling cable pulley assembly. View of the coupling arresting device mounted on nose section of Ju-290 aircraft. Junkers dual aircraft control coupler contact device mounted in center nose of Ju-290 aircraft. View of the Junkers dual aircraft control coupler contact device as it thrusts forward about 3 feet upon release by pilot from cockpit control board. A man adjusts the device. Animation showing the method by which refueling coupler device controls the movement of ailerons and flaps of second aircraft in tow. Interior scenes showing the various dual refueling coupling control devices inside both the leading and trailing aircraft moving. The camera pans to the various parts of aircraft which the above devices control in the process of coupling. Man pulls a lever. The steering wheel automatically moves inside the cockpit. Ailerons and flaps of a German aircraft moving. The Junkers dual aircraft control coupler contact device thrusts forward about 3 feet upon release by pilot from cockpit control board. Junkers Ju-290 cargo-transport aircraft taxiing on runway against the background of a hangar. The Ju-290 taking off and from airfield. View of an unidentified twin-engine, low-wing aircraft with the coupling device mounted on nose, taxiing, and taking off. The Ju-290 and low-wing aircraft both in flight. A pilot sitting in front of instrument panel of the Junkers Ju-290 transport plane. Pilot's hand pulls the lever, which in turn releases the coupler hook assembly from rear of aircraft. Rear view of the Ju-290 showing in detail how coupler hook assembly gets released and trails behind aircraft from cable. Cable-pulley assembly of the Ju-290 in operation. Refueling coupler of the Ju-290 trailing behind on cable. Rear view of the Ju-290 as seen from the unknown aircraft flying behind the transport plane. View of the nose of the second aircraft with the refueling coupling arresting device. The arresting device and coupler hook assembly become coupled in flight. Pilot in control cabin of the Ju-290 pulls lever making the coupling cable pull the trailing twin-engine aircraft toward his aircraft. The refueling cable-pulley assembly in operation. The Ju-290 transport plane a refuel process connection progresses. Pilot of the second aircraft pulls lever which thrusts forward from the nose of his aircraft the coupler contact control device. View of the refuel coupler device. View of the trailing aircraft taken from rear of Junkers Ju-290, as it is pulled closer to the rear of the Ju-290. The rigid refuel coupler control device contacts rear of Ju-290 aircraft. The coupler control device is locked into the arresting socket. The Ju-290 and the other twin-engine aircraft are coupled in flight. The pilot and co-pilot of the second aircraft waving their hands, as seen from the rear of the Junkers Ju-290. Pilot’s hands holding the steering wheel of aircraft. The pilot of the Ju-290 pulls lever and releases the second coupled aircraft. The coupled section of both aircraft separates.
