Yes Sir! Ever since I dumped the brown paint on my DH-2 Datafile. I always work on a piece of 8.5 x 11 white paper and change it when it gets glue, paint,(blood & tears) on it. Lately, I've been printing an image of the subject, often one of Bob's profiles, in one corner of the paper. I run off new sheets as needed. >> Right now I've got around a hundred sheets of stuff scattered about for the Spider project- and a lot of this is two or three pages from this book and two or three from that magazine, so in addition to saving the lives of the originals, I also conserve a little space around the work area- there's not a ton of books and magazines to step over ( or as is the case sometimes, step on).

Has anybody questioned whether he >may have flown more than one machine with swastikas and/or laurel wreaths? It seems unlikely - assuming the photos are correctly identified. Voss wasn't assigned to Jasta 5 until May 20, 1917 and the "swastikas and wreaths" D.III followed sometime later as we have photos of the aircraft in the process of being painted with that design. By June 10, Voss is on leave at home in Krefled, Germany with his "swastikas and wreaths" D.III in tow and is being photographed with that aircraft with his parents, his brother and MvR on the "homefront". I can't determine exactly how long Voss was at Krefeld but by the end of June he was transferred to Jasta 29 - presumably leaving his "swastika and wreaths" D.III behind with Jasta 5. Thus, we have only a month or slightly more when Voss was with Jasta 5 - and the "swastikas and wreathes" D.III. Subtract out the time he was in Krefeld and the period between the time he arrived at Jasta 5 and the time the "swastikas and wreaths" D.III got actually painted and not a whole bunch of time is left. Not enough, I suspect, to actually paint TWO such D.IIIs. But, I'm speculating again and YMMV.

Message-ID: <3688A3A9.6D583034@mars.ark.com> Currently working on a red-brown Nieuport IV.G as possibly one of the early French machines (used in 1914) or as an Italian one used in 1913. Wings are just about finished - I realized that the ribs are significantly lighter that the general colour - any ideas anyone? Made new tail surfaces and am building new undercarriage from struct and a 1/72 truck leaf spring (ww2 German half track) Engine is still a puzzle but it will either be narrowed from the blue rider Bleriot XI or rebuilt from a revell N.28 engine. Also underway is an almost completed N.11 converted from a Revell N.17 (but without correctly corrected wings) that needs cowl work and fuselage serial number. When I started this one I had chosen it because the pictures I had lacked the blue from the wing roudels and I assumed it was (being an RNAS machine) marked in that services roundels but I have since seen pictures that contradict that (aack) especially since I had already modified the roundels. Now they are back to being French roundels - but I was unable to find the correct proportion lower wing blue dots - the sheet I had with French roundels has the early (as used on almost all SPADs) proportions which had the centre part taking 1/5, while all but the Nie.10 used the later proportions (1/6:1/6:2/6:1/6:1/6) c'est la guerre. I should have pictures of both soon...if all holds out. The Toko 11 is looking very tempting (it will serve as a vacuform master for the fairings on the conversion) -- Mike Fletcher ___ ., mdf@mars.ark.com |-\|^----! ; mikef@sparc.nic.bc.ca |--n--""*" icq=19554083 @ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 01:48:50 -0800 From: Mike Fletcher To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: What's everyone really building?

In his latter years he formed a wholesale drugs firm, Associated Researchers, and (as a hobby) raised thoroughbred racehorses. Maybe the connection is via his hobby???
