We will recover and grow again! I asked for it and I got it. I've condensed two wonderful messages and replied to most of the points in both saving the list a little time and reading. >From Jason Crouthamel in Indiana I presume; “Your references to "Teutonic thinking" and "Prussian logic" don't seem to explain the reasoning behind D designations of fighter aircraft. How does national character enter into language used to describe aircraft?” Jason, it was truly meant to be a compliment. German engineers and the military are world renowned for their precision and logic. When I first found threads of a simple A, B, C, D etc. designation system, I became curious why would a common name Doppeldecker be abbreviated to D for one type of biplane but other biplanes retain a different letter designator that was apparently mission related. “Speaking of which, there are numerous spelling errors in your text -- "Doppeldecker" (not "le") is the correct spelling of the German word for biplane, and the correct spellings for "two" and "three" are "zwei" (colloquial "zwo") and "Drei" (as in"Dreidecker" respectively. Note also that "Decker" (meaning "wings", or litterally "planes") is not spelled with two "k"s I'm slightly dyslexic (lexdisic :-)) and have no formal training in German. Most of what I have learned has been through readily available publications. I think I've only seen two examples of the WW-I specific magazines routinely referred to here on this list in my entire life. The vast majority of my designations article came from cover to cover readings of GERMAN AIRCRAFT OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR by Gray and Thetford. "Please excuse the references to details, but I though this might be useful info. to revise your web-site." References excused. Revision most definitely planned along with a dish of humble pie. >From Sandy Adams: “I am moved by his comments about exactitude.” Mea Culpa, then the writer proceeds to be incredibly inaccurate with his spelling! That's what you get when your school was an experiment in phonics, I can't spell. Once Idflieg established type designations, they chose mnemonics that would readily convey the purpose of the aeroplane. Thus G for Grossflugzeug, R for Riesienflugzeug etc. This did not however progress logically through the single letter alphabet and this explains the gaps in the alphabet and use of classes such as Dr for Dreidecker (note spelling)." This is the reason I asked Alan to post this. We found yet another possible explanation. And Sandy raises another question; what is the literal translation of the “Riesien” in the R designation? Also Sandy it is said that all military plans are fantastic until the first encounter with the enemy. Keeping track of what letter went with what mission may have gotten cumbersome late in the war when as you say below one mission type ended up doing another mission "Whether D- and E-types meant Doppeldeckers (note spelling) and Eindeckers (sp) or a continuation of the earlier Type A, B, C etc seems totally pointless to me - the fact is that these type-classifications fulfilled both requirements anyway. A fact that would have been very obvious to all at the time". It was obvious to all at the time but with time it is becoming lost to us. "Tom says there is "a breakdown in clear Teutonic thinking ..(in) calling a TWO wing airplane Dopple instead of the logical, numeric Zwi (two)?" Well, that there may be - but I'm afraid Doppeldecker (sp) is the correct German term for a biplane. And exactly this explains why a D-type has become universally known as a Doppeldecker." That’ my point exactly, apparently the D didn’t start its life as a contraction for Doppeldecker, it was just the next letter in the list. "(Zweidecker (note spelling) would have roughly the same meaning as "two-winger" in English -which you might use occasionally but is more propely expressed as "biplane")" And conversely in English it’s a monoplane not one winger and it’s a tri-plane not a three winger. But that is the contrary phrasing in German that has me convinced of the sequential lettering regardless of mnemonics at least through the use of F on the triplanes "So, in the spirit of exactitude, lets not have sweeping statements that D for Doppeldecker is wrong. It is not." The point is taken the beast is dead. Rev 01 will be more neutral and emphasize my opinion as opposed to black and white facts. "D is definitely and unarguably for D-type - but with a system that classes a machine as a G-type because it is a Grossflugzeug - or an N-type because it is a Nachteinsaetzer, who is seriously going to tell me that Idflieg did not feel that D-type very neatly fitted for a Doppeldecker einsaetzer?" Then why weren’t the two seat bi-planes classified as Doppeldecker zweisaetzer? "Oh yes - the Razor. It started life as an E-type then became a D-type. So what:? This is an anomaly - but there were other anomalies. C-types were used extensively as unarmed trainers - but were not re-classified as B-types." It just remains an opportunity for some one else to hunt down that elusive order that changed the designation. "Tom's description of Idflieg classifications will be very useful to newcomers - but a bit one-sided, I think, regarding D-types. Perhaps he would not mind adding a line to say that this is his personal opinion and that there are other views on the subject?" I agree and I will. This is an exercise in learning from all of you and thank you for your input. Just remember team if you’re not making waves, you’re not making headway.

Message-ID: <3731140B.6EE6@mars.ark.com> "OK, what's everyone's On Topic to Off Topic ratio of completed models on the shelf?" There are two kinds of machines - aeroplanes and targets (some targets float, some don't). That said, it is obvious that I build aeroplanes; I am not biased towards eras, except that I prefer the First World War, Part II (1939-45). My completed models over the years have reflected that preference, except that I have several boxes that look more like a Japanese scrap yard in 1946 than a model collection, courtesy of 18 addresses in the last thirty years and movers who don't give a damn who packed the models or how well. The survivors are an eclectic lot, but the ratio (because of the ministrations of the movers) is not in favour of biplanes. So, WWI manages to make up about eight percent of the "on the wheels" models, 25 per cent on the work-bench and 50 per cent of the repairable without too much difficulty. But, I do have a complete shelf of unbuilt WWI kits - all in the manly scale of 1/48th. My modelling skills were most recently applied to the reshaping and balancing of the wooden propeller of my 1:1 scale flying machine and I've picked up 3 mph (5 kph) in the cruise and 50 feet per minute in the climb - I could now out-run a One-and-a-half Strutter (as long as he has a full military load...)!

At home 1n 1/72 there are 2 Between the Wars, and 3 WW-2, plus 1 1/144 jet. Since I have switched to 1/48, 1 WW-1, since given away, and 3 WW-2 in my display cabinet, completed. 12 assorted of various eras, started and in various stages of building.
