Bethold was tagged with the moniker "The Iron Knight" while Immelmann was "The Eagle of Lille" although I can't imagine that anyone ever called them that to their faces. The Iron Eagle sounds like something out of a Biggles book - or perhaps G-8 and his Flying Aces. The Superhuman Pendragon; well, I doubt either Biggles or G-8 could include that moniker with a straight face.

Biggles never had named opponents in WW1, they were always simply "Huns" (*and* WEJ went to some trouble to point out that "Hun" was a nickname, not pejorative) Books set between the wars had some named opponents, evildoers of the Nazi empire, but unless my memory is fading fast W.E.Johns never invented silly names (aside from Bigglesworth etc ;-) Shane ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 21:37:51 -0600 From: John Huggins To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: The Skull Collection Message-ID: > Matthew E Bittner wrote: >> Any interest in such a group project? >> >> That sounds like a great idea!

What does the list think about taking the Skull Collection to the Nationals in July, or if this is too soon, the following year in Dallas. It would be a group entry. Each year there are 5 or 6 entries in this category. If anyone is game, I am driving out this year and can take some of the kits if anyone was not able to attend. I think it would be a hoot. In the past, all of the models in each entry were built by the members of the same club or within a local area. I think it would open a few eyes to see a collection of WWI a/c build by a group of modelers from around the world all united by the internet.

Cole Palens replica D.VII wore a loose copy of the Swabians at least at one time, but comparing to the two photos showing the aircraft sides I think it is best ignored as a reference. Windsock Jan 94 has the photos inside back cover IIRC, and an article about the legend with some discussion of the colours including cover artwork is in the Jan 95 issue.

As-tu trouvé le remède miracle, l'unique élexir pouvant nous libérer de cette passion dévorante ? si oui, délivres-moi également, où alors, aides-moi à sombrer plus profondément dans le stupre et la luxure modélistique. Dans ce cas, je te cite les modèles que je n'ai pas encore trouvé : Vacuform Hansa Brandenburg D1 MHW Models (complete with no decals) Halberstadt CL II Formaplane (no engine, no decals, ugly wheels) AEG GIV (2 times) Classic Plane (no engine, no decals) Caudron G III Roseplane (no engine, good decals) Pomilio PE Libramodels (complete with decals) Caudron G4 Formaplane (ugly kit with nothing) Blériot XI Skuld (with metal parts) Lloyd CII Joystick (complete with decals) Navy Jenny NAF (lovely kit) Mitsubishi IMFI-10 Phœnix (no engine, no decals) DH1 or 1a Phœnix (no engine, no decals) DH6 Phœnix (no engine, no decals) Thomas Morse Warbirds (no engine, no decals) Be2c Formaplane (no engine, no decals, but good kit) Dorand AR1A2 Joystick (with decals) FBA Lévêque Libramodels (white metal + decals) Eole (off-topic) Skud (with white metal parts) Otto Doppeldecker Phœnix (no engine, no decals) Farman MF20 HF23 Skuld (with engine and wheels) Ansaldo Ballila A1 Joystick (with decals) DFW CV Classic Plane (no engine, no decals) Halberstadt CL IV Joystick Models (no decalls) Nieuport Mono 1912 Scaleplanes (no engine, no decals) Be2a Phœnix (no engine, no decals) Martinsyde S1 Classic Plane (no engine, no decals) “Normal” kits Roland C II Airfix (vintage aircraft collection) Pour être tout à fait franc, certains de ces modèles me font vraiment rêver : Caudron G III Roseplane (no engine, good decals) Pomilio PE Libramodels (complete with decals) Caudron G4 Formaplane (ugly kit with nothing) FBA Lévêque Libramodels (white metal + decals) Eole (off-topic) Skud (with white metal parts) Roland C II Airfix En imaginant que je puisses également te faire plaisir avec quoi que ce soit, quelle que soit la période souhaitée, n'hésites-pas à en émettre le souhait, et, tel le génie familier, je m'efforcerai de l'exaucer.

Does anyone know of any model railroading outlets that are on-line and sell by mail-order? Fernando Lamas Port Townsend, WA P.S. Bellingham is a "really big city" compared to Port Townsend. If I can't find it on-line, I can't find it. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 23:41:56 -0500 From: "David Vosburgh" To: "WWI Mailing List" Subject: The Hammer of Hell Message-ID: <013001be429d$19a51320$1d7433cf@Pvosburg> The best thing about that comic was Joe Kubert's artwork... he actually knew how to draw WWI aeroplanes! And, as I recall he managed to include some fairly obscure types, not just Dr.Is and SPADs. Also, I believe that somebody resurrected the character in a short-run "graphic novel" format a few years ago, but I never saw it. Seemed kind of like doing a cover version of a Zeppelin song --- why bother? DV ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 1396 **********************
