Robert,
Should you ever decide to expand your modeling skills to radio control
scale you will be up there with the best.  International R/C scale
competition rules currently favor WWI aircraft.  At the recent meet in
South Africa, 9 of the top 10 models were WWI!  The HP is a fantastic
job.  Thanks for sharing it with us mere mortals (YOU ARE A GOD!)  Just
kidding, I've been watching too much Zena and Hercules lately<G>.
Mike

This is long overdue, but I can only say that archaeologists and
librarians have a different sense of time than normal people.
These titles/copies/items are currently on the list library shelf:

Cross & Cockade:
Vols. 9-14

Vol. 4 #3; Vols. 5-7

Datafiles:

#4 Bristol Fighter
#10 SE5a
#34 Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter

Albatros Fighters 

Boyne, Walter
Famous Aircraft of the National Air and Space Museum #7
de Havilland DH-4 From Flaming Coffin to Living Legend

Imrie, Alex

Gray, P. and Stair, I
Albatros B- and C-types (articles from Scale Models magazine)

Allies scrapbook
Central Powers scrapbook

(These contain old articles from Aeromodeler and other unindexed
material, some of it out-of-date re. accuracy)   

The librarian has additional titles & materials in his own personal
collection which he also occasionally makes available. He is
particularly proud of his Gotha/G-types binder.

FWIW,

For everyone who received copies of the Sopwith Triplane photos I sent out a
week or two ago I have had confirmation that the fellow standing in front of
N4531 in the upper left photo is indeed John W Alcock.

Yves,

The Sopwith Triplane on your website is N5387 of No.1(N)Squadron Royal Naval
Air Service. In case you were unaware of it the French also used the Sopwith
Triplane. 18 of them were used by a maritime escadrille based at Dunkerque -
I have two photos of these, and should be getting some shots of individual
machines soon. I would be interested if anyone knows what the French opinion
of these machines was.

Regards,
        Bob Pearson

For anyone else the full URL of Yves' Tripehound photo is
