If I am right, the Snipe came in two basic versions: 1) Non-horn balanced ailerons, and tail-plane with a 'bite' taken out. (early) 2) Horn balanced ailerons, and normal 'Sopwith trade-mark' tail plane.

"Jiggs & Maggie" ran on the front page of the Sunday comic section of the Chicago Tribune. (Just under Dick Tracy.) It was an early sitcom involving the escapades of married life between Jiggs and his wife Maggie. Jiggs had the appearance of what the socialists eventually labeled an evil "Capitalist".

OH TO HAVE A SCANNER!!! That has GOT to be bumped up to my #1 on the TO GET list! The representation of the 'Flying Bolshevik' was an interesting companion to the 'Jiggs' emblem. Capitalist and Bolshevik. May have been a part of a friendly rivalry between the 11th and 20th... (Another rabbit to chase ;-) ). But the Bolshevik consisted of the stereotypical concepts of the day; an overcoat wearing (black) character bending over (sleuthily ) with a red neck scarf flying at about a 33 degree angle. A fused 'cannonball' in each hand. The latter I seem to recall a reference that the stereotypical Bolshevik always had a supply of bombs handy!! The mission of the 26th was interesting in that the flight leads (Lt Sidney Coe Howard) observer (Lt E.A. Parrott) was hit and killed and fell against the controls, jamming them. (Goes back to the thread of a year or so ago about dual flying controls). Howard could not turn the plane for 35(!) minutes (according to the source...[If anyone is interested, I'll check it out and get the exact reference] ) whilst fighting for control of the plane. His flight followed. Lt Guy Wiser Brown wrote ""...bombed Dun-sur-Meuse. Then instead of going back over the lines in a few minutes, our leader went straight on in to Germany. It was called suicide to go it alone in a DH-4 [as my daughter would say,"DUH!"], so we followed..." So apparantly didn't know of Howard's predicament. Then they met JASTA 12. (Read the German side in Jagdgeschwader Nr.II Part 2; OTF V.9 N.4; good pics and profiles of some of the combatants, too!) Barring more research, it looks like five of the eight were shot down. Ironically, Howard made it back. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Apr 1998 13:14:37 -0700 From: Jim Elkins To: wwi Subject: Re: 20th Aero Squadron colors, equipment Message-ID: <35478A26.68C65E79@swbell.net> Dr. Phillip Anz-Meador wrote: > jim: > > according to "above the lines", > 26 sep 1918 DH4, 11 aero sqdrn., SW Longuyon @ 1000h HEY!

Well, certainly not Madison who completed his two terms of the presidency successfully (if you ignore that nasty bit where the British came and burned down Washington) and in relatively good health and who lived to a ripe old age. Yer thinking of either Garfield or McKinley but I can never remember whether it was McKinley who was shot by the anarchist and Garfield by the disappointed office seeker or vice versa. The anarchists were, incidently, more of a European phenomena than an American one with the Russian Mikhail Bakunin being the proto-typical advocate for the bomb throwers. Still, at one time anarchists were America's favorite boogey-men, being routinely blamed for all manner of crimes, misfortunes and things that go bump in the night - whether anarchists were actually involved or not. >Anyone who knows US history better is cordially invited to chime in with >more accurate information.

He thought it was odd that a "new tool" would have the simulation. So, he thought maybe Toko did this to help adhesion with the lozenge. He mentioned that once the lozenge was on, the "effect" was gone.

According to whats-his-name at E/PP this kit is from a tool dating back to before the LCM method Eduard now uses (Sopwith Pup and later.) As a result Eduard didn't want to put their own name on it. . . Like all the other ACM(?) kits based on 'older' Eduard kits it will have additional resin detail parts, and a higher price. ___________________________________________________________________________ Mark Nelson ------------------------ mnelson@v-wave.com ------------------------ Find me working at Kites & Other Delights in West Edmonton Mall http://www.kitesandotherdelights.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Apr 1998 11:47:45 +1000 From: Shane Weier To: wwi Subject: RE: Bristol Boxkite at Oakey Message-ID: <199804300159.LAA27441@mimmon.mim.com.au> Charles, I don't have photos etc., so this is probably less than useless, but I am planning a trip to the Museum of Army Aviation (about two hours drive each way) in July - perhaps with a fellow list member or three if they're in town and care to come with me.
