> Does anyone have a list of ALL the USAFM planes?

I have the USAFM calendars from 1987 till present. They have a photograph
each month of the year. Just going through the calendars, this is what I have
found that may be of interest to this group. (Just listing period subjects)
1987 Wright 1909 Model A "Flyer"
Wright 1911 Model B "Flyer"
Spad VII
1988 Nieuport 28
Curtis Model C Type IV "Pusher"
Consolidated PT-1 "Trusty"
1989 Eberhart SE-5E
1991 Spad XVI
1992 Caproni Ca 36 Bomber
Sopwith F1 "Camel"
1994 Packard-LePere LUSAC-11
Halberstadt CL IV
1995 Nieuport N.28C-1
Fokker Dr.1
I know there are a lot more aircraft from the WWI period in the museum.
The calendars come a part of being a member of the AFM Foundation. You
also get a quarterly _Friend's Bulletin_ which contains many stories by
pilots and ground crews - both US/Allies and those that were oponents.
There are also lists of reunions and new acquistions. About once a year
you also get a catalog of Stuff to buy from the Museum's gift shop at
a fairly nice discount. There are other benefits like documentation searchs
by the staff and being able to get into the restoration areas at certain
times of the week.
I've been a member since 1985 - Didn't start keeping the calendars until 1987
though..
If you need/want a complete listing - write or call. They are very
friendly people and will possibly be able to supply you with a COMPLETE list.
Here is some addresse/phone numbers of interest.
