I'm reasonably sure >I've read about the use of hot-air balloons as artillery spotters in the >Civil War. Whether this was over Texas or further east, I could not say. Actually, not hot air, but rather hydrogen balloons. Used on several occasions by the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War (or the War of Northern Aggression, depending on your politics) Indeed, a claim could be made that the Civil War also featured the first aircraft carrier as the Union Army (not navy) gunboat "Fanny" used a manned captive balloon to observe the Confederate positions near Hampton Roads on August 3, 1961. Several other ships operated manned captive balloons in a similar manner during the course of the conflict, including the Confederate balloon tender "Teaser" which operated a balloon for a few days in July of 1962 before she was engaged and captured by the Union gunboat "Maratanza" - the sole Confederate use of ship-borne balloons. Balloons were also used during the Franco-Prussian war, most notably to get VIPs and mail out of besieged Paris during the siege. But, I think calling these "combat" uses would be stretching things a bit. However, actual combat use of aircraft _did_ predate the 1916 Pershing expedition by several years. The Italians dropped grenades from aircraft near Tripoli in October of 1911 during the Italio-Turkish war. And, while I can't find my reference right now, I seem to recall that the first exclusive aerial combat was during 1913 in one of those endless Balkan conflicts where a flier from one side or the other elected to plink away at an opposing aircraft with a Mauser automatic pistol. (To no particular effect, if I recall). Ah, well, probably more than anyone wished to know. Cheers anyway, -- - Bill Shatzer bshatzer@orednet.org - "This is the West, sir.

It comes with four schemes: Lowenhardt's all natural with "skriggly-line" on the top wing from Jasta 10; Barenfanger's all red with the bear on the sides from Jasta 28w; Voss' machine circa June 1917 from Jasta 5; and von Bertrab's all "black" machine with "star and ribbon" from Jasta 30. My sheet is spot on register wise; not all that common with SuperScale, and I'm glad they're getting things right. I also saw the new sheet for Albatros D.V's, but I don't remember any of the markings, and I had to choose (this time) between the two, so I picked the D.III sheet. Highly recommended.

Wow, Texas - brings back memories... Do they still sell Pearl Beer for $4.95 a case at WalGreens in Houston? Can you still see "We Drink Hippie Blood" signs above the front doors of cowboy bars off the state roads leading out of town? Do Air Force jets still buzz cars on the Intersate leading to Austin?

Flying surfaces are finally covered, taped, touched up and will be sealed this week. Which brings me to the completion of the upper wing and a small dilema in which I need some help. I am not exactly sure where to place the radiator shutter/ring. There seems to be two locations pre determined for inbound and outbound water sources but I can't seem to find exactly where to stick the shutter. Maybe if someone tells me what this thingamabob did I'll have a better idea of what to do. Does it overlap the underside of the radiator? Did this thing regulate the water flow? Should I just stick the damn thing up there? Dazed and confused, Joe ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 527 *********************
