Hello!
Today, 12 Volts are the standard for car electricity. About 40 years ago many cars had only 6 Volts electricity. How was it with WW1 aircraft? Was it somehow standarized before the outbreak of war? Was there a difference between engine producers or countries? Perhaps a silly question, but I donīt have any idea ...

Volker:
The engines in WWI were equipped with magnetos to provide the electrical current to the engines. Aircraft that required addition electrical powere the aircraft had either wind driven generators or engine driven generators. They did not have storage batteries. Blauer himmeln Dan-San |

Hello Dan-San, hello SteveD!
Thank you very much for this information. It would have been a problem for me to find this out without your help and my lack of technical knowledge.
