It is over 500 pages, $79.95, has a nice photo of a gunner blazing away in the back of a WW I aircraft. Any comments on this book? Looks pretty good. I want to make sure before parting with all those greenbacks though. -Jared Zichek ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 16:29:07 -0600 From: "Lance Krieg" To: Subject: Re: Belgian Rattlesnake Book Message-ID: I don't know anything about this book at all, so consider this advice as gratuitous... Unless you REALLY love machine guns, and Lewis guns in particular, a WWI aero modeller is best served by Harry Woodman's "Early Aircraft Armament" which provides scale drawings, detail photos, and erudite text for all the major belligerents. I suppose it is out of print now, since it is truly a great resource. All of the foregoing is IMHO, of course.

These were an attempt by the Air Wing Staff to address the lack of formal comm discipline that the Air Wing seemed to favor. It comprised a list of codes you were supposed to broadcast over Air Wing Common if you heard one of your Air Wing brethren using some inappropriate language or unprofessional comm procedure. These were promptly dubbed "Rufus Codes" and died a quiet death once it became apparent that they were just contributing to the problem...
