They also have a sheet on 56 Squadron which has markings for Albert Ball's SE5. (don't think he flew the SE5A, wasn't he shot down before they were issued?) Blue Rider also has a 1/48 scale sheet with Udet's Fok D.7 with candy stripes. I think the tail was supposed to have a v shaped white stripe, not the 2 lones running up the fuselage. Anyone remember an article in windsock about this? I think in the only available photo, Ernst was holding a white book in his arm which was mistaken for a stripe by many others...

I ask, because that Nazi endorsement was never short when it served their cause. The Nazis were superior to all... In their use of propaganda. They were the ones who could lean on a Jew until there was little left to give... Look at Milch. I agree that according to Nazi law, he was a Jew. I would not be surprised that the Nazis would lionize Voss - however, I don't think that Voss was a Jew. But given the Nazi's almost sexual demand for national heroes, he could have been a Rabbi and have been lionized by them cruds.

All I can say is some of these men were definitely a breed apart. Nice footage of a Jenny, plus good photos of Caudrons, RE8's etc. They covered MVR fairly quickly which was good.... Then the show covered Wop May's life after the war. His flight taking medicine to the Inuit Village in the far north in the dead of winter, how when he landed back in Edmonton, his wife helped him take off his flying kit and when he pulled off his silk scarf all the skin on his lips came away with it. The pursuit of a deranged trapper for the RCMP in the far north. Plus flying in prospectors to the far north, for shares in mines that of course usually never panned out. Great show, you definitely walk away admiring the man.

I really enjoyed looking at them ... I plan to download them in case I ever end up building a model of a Spad. As usual I am unable to keep up with the wwi list chit chat but I always peek to see if there are new photos on the wwi web site.

Message-ID: <16.1511944.25e6ceb1@aol.com> Greetings: After the passage of some 35 years, I have again begun building models. As with riding a bicycle, much has come back to me. In some cases, unfortunately so. In the old days I would construct louvrers by cutting slits in a sheet of brass (it had just come on the market) and then hand-forming and soldering in place each individual raised louver. I no longer have the eyes, hands nor patience to accomplish this. Nor, since I soldered one of the cats to the toilet seat, does SWMBO allow me the use of a soldering iron. (If anyone would like to try this, be sure to pop-rivet small brass plates at strategic points before attempting.) Might any of you suggest a relatively simple technique, suitable for the senescent? Thank you, John Biskupski ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2000 13:17:56 EST From: Albatrosdv@aol.com To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: DML Udet Markings (was 1/48 Ace Decals) Message-ID: <63.2315389.25e6cfd4@aol.com> In a message dated 2/23/100 8:17:36 PM EST, Jasta11@pdq.net writes: << You mean the striping's red & not black?????
