DescriptionCommander Victor Vladimirovich Dibovsky CMG (7194897612).jpg |
Imperial Russian Navy Victor Dibovsky, an officer of the Russian Imperial Navy, was one of the early pioneers of aviation, learning to fly in 1908. During the First World War, he was deployed on a mission to England where he played an important role in the development of British armed fighter aircraft. In 1916, Dibovsky worked with Warrant Officer F W Scarff (inventor of the Scarff gun mounting) to develop interrupter mechanisms allowing pilots to fire a machine gun straight ahead through a revolving propellor. The Royal Naval Air Service fitted several of the gears (patented as the Scarff-Dibovsky Interrupter Gear) to their Sopwith aircraft. In May 1917, Dibovsky invented an improved machine-gun cartridge belt. After the war, Dibovsky continued to work in aeromechanics in England.
