In 2000 a fellow R/C club member Ted Wolf, who is an avid WW-I and Golden Age modeler, came across four aviation post card
scrapbooks at a garage sale here in Oklahoma City. At the time I had access to a very high quality scanner and complete Adobe
Photoshop software. So in the interest of preserving these aviation historical jewels I made my first attempt at scanning and filing. The
originals have been returned to Ted and the following 108 photographs have been sorted in alphabetical order by aircraft manufacturer.

CDL. Comment by Nick Carey-Harris :This is a picture of a Sopwith Dove. The rear seat is set further back than a single seat and the decking/cowling has been altered to accept another seat. The fuel tank was moved to the floor under a seat (not sure which one . . the front I think) and a wind driven fuel pump was added. This was Sopwiths' attempt to market a civilianised military aircraft after the armistice, which was not successful. |
