And if the last issue has something on cessation of publication, all the better. Something that is out of print usually has a better chance of getting reproduced. If any of your issues has an address, write for permission, and use a "returned- undeliverable" stamp on the envelope as proof that the publication no longer exsists. That is your proof that you attempted to obtain copyright clearance. Perhaps Greg VW has an idea on copyright holder of the publication at this point. One you find a replicator, perhaps only one or two issues at a time to prevent overwork. Unless there is a price break, of course. Now that I've seen a sampling of subject, I should be added to the list...

I have done copying on my own at copy shops but not 32,000 pages worth. Even at a penny a page it would come to $320, and I doubt we could get it done that cheaply. In any case I'll see what my local shop would charge to do that many copies.

MCP take credit cards and add 15% for overseas postage - thus each datafile is roughly 10.50USD each including shipping! Doubtless many have gone already - but if there are any you need you could mail them at midlandbooks@compuserve.com If you want catalogue numbers for anything drop me a line.

This would reduce the 800 one-sided pages to 400 pages. Most modern copiers can do two consecutive pages to one front-and-back page.

Concerning the Bessonneau, the Aircraft Archive series Aircraft of World War One vol3 had Ian Stair drawings of said shelter- actually model plans complete with templates in 1/72.There was also substantially the same material in a back issue of Windsock along with some additional info. Some of you may remember several months ago I mentioned that I had drawings somewhere of a German hanger- I KNOW I DO!!!! but the "somewhere " still hasn't presented itself. What I have found is 3 photos from an article in C&C US v13 #2 summer 72 that show flat-on side views that could easily be used to make drawings. The photos are pretty bad but usable.The article was about everyday life in a Jasta and contained this descruption of the hanger: "The staffel usually has five or six such tents.They are canvas supported by metal poles and guyed by ropes to the ground.They are pentagonal in shape with two poles in the middle.One entire side is the "front door" to the tent and is pulled by two ropes that travel up to the top of the door frame and then back to a pulley and down.Pulling up this flap opens one whole side of the tent and lets in light and air. There are either no windows or at most a very small one.There are entrances at three points via flaps- one on each side of the front panel and one at the very rear at the point of juncture of the rear walls. Three planes can be accomodated in a tent hangar.With the propeller horizontal, one plane is rolled in and parked with its nose against the right rear wall. The second plane is rolled in with its nose against the left rear wall. The third plane is rolled in backwards with some jiggling to get its tail by the center ploes and is parked facing outward with its nose towards the front door panel" If any one wants an e-mail attachment version of the 3 photos let me know and they are on their way!

Who's collecting the money? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1998 20:18:11 -0700 From: Charles Hart To: wwi Subject: books in the freezer Message-ID: Welll Gerry, I think you are going to have to leave your precious waterlogged books in your freezer until they develop a really bad case of freezer burn. Its not enough that you got the water frozen in the pages, but the water has to somehow be removed. Freeze dryer machines do this pretty well, they are made to draw out the water without letting it become liquid. In your case, you still have frozen water between all of those pages. By now I should hope that the covers of what ever is at the top of your pile might have come free of the rest of the pages, at least you might glimpse the contents of the book at the top of the pile. Seriously, you might look into who might have a large capacity freeze dryer in your area. The books that were flooded at Colorado State University library last July were frozen and shipped to Texas to be dried out in a large capacity freeze dryer. But then, they had over 500,000 books to dry out. Good luck, Charles hartc@spot.colorado.edu >I think I missed something along the way.

It's not that big a deal to have the sets collated and stapled into their respective volumes,.....if they are in volumes? If so, how many, and how many pages, (approximately), per volume. I know I wouldn't want 800 loose pages sliding around. And if you don't have the specifics, maybe someone out there does. I just want to get the pertinent info to my printer buddy.

We do bulk mailings for our mailorder business, so I can look at postage rates as well. > I think this might just get off the ground! >Dave W. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 05 Mar 1998 23:09:41 -0800 From: Dave Sterner To: wwi Message-ID: <2.2.32.19980306070941.006a1cd4@earthlink.net> Hello everyone, My name is Dave Sterner, I live in Los Angeles Ca. and have recently rekindled my love of building WWI models after an absence of about 25 years. I have enjoyed reading some of the threads in your archive and look forward to directly communicating with some of you. I restarted my modeling by building the "Red Baron" Revell kit with the car and triplane (I didn't want to screw up a really good kit getting my chops back) and have ordered the DML 1/48 Fokker DR-1 with the Jacob's markings as a first serious project. If anyone has built this kit I would appreciate any tips you could pass on reguarding what paint to use. Flat black? Should all of the paints I use for the exteriors of my planes be flat? I would also appreciate any suggestions for a good "basics of modeling" book. As you can tell from my previous question I'm kinda starting from scratch again, I figure alot has changed in 25 years. Thanks alot, Dave ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Mar 98 08:03:49 PST From: silverinfo@czechia.com To: wwi Subject: RE: UPDATE: Aerodrome Modeler for Sale Message-ID: On Thu, 5 Mar 1998 12:15:46 -0500 Bob Pearson wrote: >We now have 41 members wanting to contribute (43 if Franco and Ivan join). >The plan was I would buy the complete set of Aerodrome Modeler (4 years) for >the list library, and anyone who wanted to contribute to the cost could do >so.

It'll certainly spare on postage (and tropical forrests :) ) Ivan Subrt ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 923 *********************
