The 'chute looks a little bigger (but not much) than a >WWII 'chute, and is in a soft pack that looks like it goes on the back or the seat. Same picture (p165) is in Imrie's Pictorial History of German Army Air Service. Caption says "Lt Fraedrich of Jasta 72 being assisted into his Heinecke parachute harness. The parachute pack acted as a cushion in the aircraft and went with the pilot when he jumped clear of the aeroplane being opened by means of a static line. It saved the lives of many pilots in the last six months of the war including Udet (28/6/18) and Baumer (14/9/18). The opposite picture is of a Paulus opened up for inspection and caption says "Attempts to modify the Paulas for use from aeroplanes were not successful and the Heinecke was developed for this purpose." Next page shows a picture with the following caption - "A pilot about to fly an Albatros D.III having his Heinecke parachute pack attached to its harness with spring clips by his mechanic."

I wish for two things: First, each periodical has a web site that lists content for each and every issue, especially upcoming ones. That way we can go to the web site and see if we want to purchase that current issue. Finally, each periodical charge per article for a download from a site. That way we can obtain *only* those articles that interest us. Since the 'net now has ads and commercial's, each periodical still maintains that revenue. Charging per article woud - I believe - increase the revenue coming into that periodical. I came to that conclusion in the following way. How many of us saw one article in a magazine that interests us, but we didn't pick it up because of all the other "fluff"? Now, if that magazine would charge per article, they're actually making money selling that one article we want. For example, Replic #100 that I just picked up. Since it's a French WW1 subject I just had to have it, but if it was British or something I wouldn't have. However, I would have liked to have that British article anyway to read about the techniques, and maybe because it's a model subject I would eventually like to build. Does this make sense, or am I talking out the side of my mouth?

A recent article in Newsweek describes how, in the near future with the advance of viewer technology, flat screen viewers will be put between the covers to imitate the shape of a book. Think of a lightweight laptop computer with an extra screen instead of a keyboard with it's outside bound like a real book in cloth or leather. Instead of buying the paper version of the book you want, you instead go the author's web page, type in your credit card number and download the encrypted "E-Book" into your viewer. With illustrated books, you can get images with higher resolution than you would in a printed paper book. The "E-Book" you put on your bedstand could hold your entire WW I aviation library in it's multi-gigabyte hard drive. This will empower authors to bypass "paper publishers" and give them 100% of their profits after web page and production expenses. Stephen King is said to be thinking of releasing an "E-Book" as his next project. As viewer technology advances and prices come down to $9.99 at your local Mini-Mart (remember the $120 scientific calculater that you used for physics class in college in the 1970's that now sells for $9.99) the paper printed book will have "Gone West" by the year 2020.

Steve - it's all working fine from my side - welcome to the Wonderful World of Web design. Otherwise known as the greatest thief of time since the invention of stuff. Sometimes the fault lies in the transmission of the images, not necessarily the HTML code. Initially, in my case, it WAS the code at fault, and I am proud to say that I am responsible for inventing *totally new ways of messing up the internet.* Congratulations Steve - you're on the Net now, and you'll never get any modelling done - I haven't since last Century...

A recent article in Newsweek describes how, in the near future with the advance of viewer technology, flat screen viewers will be put between the covers to imitate the shape of a book. < the big snip > ... the paper printed book will have "Gone West" by the year 2020. >> My cousin is involved in an investment group working on a project in this direction, and he told me some interesting things. Their research shows that people want to have something tangible after they spend their money - plugging into a computer and doing a simple download for $30 of material that now resides on your hard drive is, apparently, unsatisfying to the average consumer. I suppose this is why, if you buy the software for some computer game, many of them come with a small CD inside and a huge amount of packaging, pictures and printed material. Secondly, the initial idea had been to download into your PC, but they found that people also still want that tangible "book" in their hands when they read anything much larger than a webzine. This, plus the desire to have a portable book which you can take out to the hammock in the backyard, led to the development of the book-like computer which Fernando describes above. These consumer preferences are, of course, changeable. The reason they study them is because the initial acceptance is so important to the success of the project. It is quite likely that the form these things take in the transitional period, when these consumer preferences still rule, will be totally different from what we will be using 30 years down the road. Myself, I still prefer stuff on paper, where I can open three books side-by-side and compare pictures, and where I can have the satisfaction of looking at my bookshelves packed with my beloved books. Dave Z - just completed the Strutter. Not a great job, but I tried Future and do-it-yourself struts for the first time, so progress is being made and perhaps my third or fourth effort might eventually be picworthy. - just completed drilling holes all over the Eastern Express M.S.
