How about air droppable sleds and dog teams too? 

Probably happened somewhere/sometime. I'm sure I've seen footage of dogs being parachuted. Probably would have been back in the 50/60's when there wouldn't have been the uproar there would be now, and I'm a dog lover. I'm sure my old Dobbie Sally would have loved it

Love the RCAF. B.29/KB.29 are there any further images in the booklet noted, certainly different

Not sure about any uproar, but it's still being done regularly. They've even got protective vests and doggy-sized goggles now.

Thats got to be a huge amount of training to get the dog to wear that gear and then jump out of an aircraft!

Nothing whiffy. This one was pretty much a whif at the time tho, an idea of what the Argus would look like in service.

I'm not sure.  Look at what some people dress their dogs up in everyday.  Plus wouldn't free falling be like the whole body equivalent of putting your head out of the car window?
I think once they'd tried it the difficulty would be stopping the dogs jumping out when they were not supposed to.

It's probably down to trust in the Handler, at least in part. And Military Crazy - that's not just for Hoomins anymore... 

I've seen photos of Squaddies on patrol with a 'holstered' dog in a carry harness on one's back... first generation smart ordnance, maybe?


And you ever notice that the same Dog that gets annoyed when you blow in their face, will stick it's head out of a vehicle window if given even a fraction of a chance?

I know my old Doberman would probably have loved it given her behaviour when we had the top down in the Spitfire 

As for Doggie smart ordnance. The Soviet's tried it and there is footage of what was probably training. The problem was that some of the dogs returned to their owners complete with ordnance 

Cheers for the pics and info lades

Thanks Todd --- your pic reminded me I should really get going on the two 1/72 scale Argus I have

Hey, if it can't be fixed with Duct Tape and Gum, it's too broken to repair and needs replacing!

I have heard of RAF airframe fitters being taught to repair control linkages with wooden dowel and five minute epoxy
