America so if any aircraft had this material as a component I would think it was rare and in peace time. As for Spruce, Sitka Spruce is the primo material for aircraft construction because it is close grained and very strong, but; It costs a fortune and it is native to the Northwest Americas, so there wasn't that much available (at least to the Germans). I recall reading a few years ago about a project to genetically engineer Sitka to grow more rapidly and resist pests. Haven't heard any more about it. A lot of the strut wrapping you see in photos and read about was to prevent splintering upon a crash. These splinters were kind of big. Could ruin your day. Imagine surviving a crash only to bleed to death from being skewered by your disintegrating struts. Yeech!

Perry" To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: A nautical note Message-ID: <3.0.1.32.19990207075405.00a5158c@pop.mindspring.com> For those of you who have an interest in or questions about ships, WWI or otherwise, there is a mailing list on Maritme History. I was tracking down info on the troopship that carried my Grandfather to France in 1918. These very knowledgable and helpful folks were able to provide me with a complete history of the vessel with photos & postcards. They are a bit more serious bunch than we are, but just as willing to help a newbie with info. There are near 500 members and the traffic (quite a bit WWI related) is about twice that of this list, so I un-subscribed after I had thanked everybody for their help, but if I ever need specific info on things maritime, I know where to go. I have the address and sign-on/sign-off info. If anyone is interested, give me a holler off-list sp ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 1433 **********************
