*Ha Ha*! And I deserved it!... ;^) As usual, I came in on the middle
of this one, and thought the discussion was in relation to the ALBATROSS
D.V/Va (as the discussion was devolving around rotary conversion). As for
the Fokker D.V, I think I'm the last person I'd ever go to for
information on the matter! I *thought* I had made that known (though,
obviously, not clear...), but apparently not. My fault. Sorry.

I think that would probably go without saying. I'm wondering, could you
post the Albatross' numbers compared to the SE5/SPADXIII/Camel? I'd like
to see how my impressions fit the bill, as it were. I also assume this
merits me the Red Face award once again (sigh....); I hope this does not
operate like the Schneider Cup-- I'll get it for good in no time flat!!
Repeat apologies. i shall endevor in future to be far more precise.

"The Heavens were the grandstands, and only the Gods were spectators. The

the Game had no recess. It was the most dangerous of all sports-- and the
most fascinating. It got in the blood like wine. It aged men 40 years in
40 days; it ruined nervous systems in an hour. It was a fast game-- the
average life of a pilot at the Front was 48 hours. And, to many, it
seemed an Age....
