It was described as a "wheel from a Poll Giant Triplane". The staff told me it was recovered near Cologne from a pile of part built remains in 1919. < snip> I'm intrigued and would appreciate more info on this aircraft if anyone has any. I saw a GA of this aircraft plus a photo of a guy standing next to the wheel in a book titled, "Triplanes". Something like that. The aircraft had several push-pull engines. I thought about building a rudimentary model of one about 20 years ago. Still thinking about it. Would be something really different. -Rick- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jan 1998 01:10:42 EST From: REwing To: wwi Subject: Re: Yipee!

I also found the Munson 1914-1919 Bombers book I was missing. I have since made use of this site, and found Richard Bell Davies' autobiography that I had mentioned on the list a few months ago. To make a long story short the book was sent two days ago and it arrived today - great service. I also saw the JM Bruce *British Aeroplanes* book from $90, $125 and $200 US. As I won't be able to afford this for the next while, perhaps one of you can :-) BTW although all prices are listed as $US, the Canadian retailer I contacted only charged me the quoted amount as $Cdn - a nice savings.

    Modeler's Aviation Reference Photos

    Welcome to my home page! I hope you enjoy your visit. My name is Trent Tidmore and I build plastic model airplanes. Being a member of I.P.M.S. James J. McKinstry Chapter, I have taken these photos from a model airplane builder's perspective. Sometimes good, clear, color reference photographs are hard to find, especially of WWI subjects. These are my own photographs taken at various museums and airshows. As a fellow aviation enthusiast or model builder, please feel free to use them for your own use or list my site to your links. I have limited the image sizes, and all pictures are in JPEG format. I have also included a brief description of each airplane or engine and some other related web sites you may enjoy.

The Merlin kit is a late type, all around. Late floats, with a wing mounted radiator. Granted, the Pegasus is hands down better, but if you were a masochist you could take the Merlin wing and mount it on the Pegasus for a completely late bird. There were a few "hybrids". On pages 4 and 5 of the Minidatafile, there are pictures of birds with the late floats, but still sporting the fuselage mounted radiators. Unfortunately you're on your own for the earlier floats. Barry? Another idea...;-) Am I the only one who wishes Pegasus/MPM/whomever would supply beaching "dollies" with their seaplanes?
