I had been under the impression that these were mostly simply that "reprinted" with little if any revision above perhaps adding more recent kits to the kit listing. I note however that the Albatros C.III reprint now includes photos of *both* sides of Erwin Bohmes Dragondile machine, and that the cover illustrations h ave been updated so that the rear cover profile gives *both* sides. Frankly, I am pleased that RLR has taken the opportunity to update this volume, and hope that possible errors in the other newly reprinted volumes have also been corrected.

I'm not sure where this colors for this old profile come from, and I personally think it was another case of some art director saying "unknown color? well, then, if it's German, make it red". Baumer was covered pretty well over the years in C&C US, and I never came across any reference saying this was red. The best printed version that I've seen of the classic photo is in Vintage Warbirds No8 German Air Aces by Imrie. I spent alot of time starring at this picture and noticed that the color of the band was different from the Jasta 5 red piping. If the band was red, it was a different shade than the piping. Interpreting color from a bw picture is risky business, but the intensity of the black cross seems to match the intensity of the band closer than the red piping. If anyone has any more information or confirmation about the color, I'd be glad to hear about it. The one odd-ball thing I can't figure out is the apparant difference in shade between the overall black band and the area beneath the edelweiss- it may be just a textural thing. The rest of the fuselage looks pretty much like the standard light-yellowy- brown varnish (oh yeah, and the red Jasta 5 nose- just like Rudolph).

The drawing suffers from a tail span which is markedly undersized. This was pointed out in Windsock International after the publication of the datafile - yet the span of the tail in the 1/48 drawing is still just 50mm, and the full sized dimension according to the German 3 view on page 35 and the British intelligence report on inside rear cover would give a span of 56mm. Beware - Beware - Beware I have mentioned not trusting drawings before (bored yet) - but...... Toms Modelworks produce a kit of the Cl.II with the correct span, corrected before or during production to match the corrected dimensions. Much later, Tom Wictor, in his review in Windsock May/June 97 criticises Toms' for the "innaccurate" tailplane on the basis, presumably, of the Windsock drawings. Trust no-one ! Not even (especially??) me :-) Shane ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 23:34:37 EST From: Suvoroff@aol.com To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Caudron R-11 Message-ID: Dear Mr. Buffetaut; The thing I want most are photographs showing the application of the five-color scheme to the Caudron R.11. I know overhead pictures of any WWI aircraft are scarce, so I don't know if there is anything that will help me much. Also, anything on where the ventral MG was located (under the nose? under the tail?). Finally, any good photographs of the sides of the nacelles. I hope my interest is not misinterpreted as a demand for you to go out of your way to help me on this, I was just hoping perhaps you knew of some book or magazine article on this plane. It is sad that it is so hard to find material on the French air service in the Great War, I suppose in part because of the disaster of 1940 you mentioned. While there is a fair amount of material on the Nieuport and SPAD fighters, information on the French bombers and recon aircraft is very thin, at least in English. The Caudron R.11 took a far greater active role in the latter days of the Great War than the Fokker D.VIII, but see which one gets the publicity. Yours, James D.
