However, a number of additional photos DO exist, for example in the (Pawlas) LD 20 "Deutsche Flugzeuge 1914-1918", pic´s 365-368. Here the aircraft is identified as an "LTG" type. It´s neither this nor a "Gotha-Ursinus", but it was build by Rex (those guys who also did a rotary "Nieuport type" scout widely identified as an aircraft build for Voss). The second misidentification comes from the fact that Ursinus (the Flugsport editor, who was involved in the design of this aircraft)also was involved in the Gotha G I and it´s naval counterpart. I think there´s a good chance that a drawing is in the Bundesarchiv/Militaerarchiv files in Freiburg, as these contain a high number of original drawings from the former "Tambach archive" files. Given the fact that the Ursinus Seaplane scout was given a naval number and tested (to destruction - inadvertently) in Warnemuende there should be some official documentation of it Volker -----Original Message----- From: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu [mailto:wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu]On Behalf Of Zulis@aol.com Sent: Freitag, 6. Oktober 2000 07:38 To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Gotha Ursinus Greetings! A couple of weeks ago someone was enquiring about the Gotha Ursinus plane, with the floats which retract up to the fuselage. Today, while going through Imrie's "German Naval Air Service" (Vintage Aviation Fotofax) I found two pictures of said aircraft - pics number 49 and 50. One with the floats extended and the plane sitting on a beaching dolly, and the other with the floats retracted. I dont have a scanner, but if you are still interested, speak up and someone with both a scanner and this book might be able to help you.

The main source for the misinterpretation are different Nowarra books (amongst them "Dr I in Action") with this most infamous misidentification of what he claims to be 425/17 (eg, p. 19 of "in Action"). This actually is a "Geschwaderfuehrer" Dr I, but unfortunately von Tutschek´s 404/17. As pointed out by various sources, the mistakes especially in this "in Action" booklet are basically to numerous to correct.

I've searched the inventories of just about every model vendor I am familiar with - with no luck. I've even tried bidding on a couple that were placed for auction on ebay, but at the end of the bidding frenzy I couldn't compete with the individuals who were offering fingers, gold, or first-born children (just a joke - but the bids were getting way out of my league). I'm just going to work with a couple Monogram kits - add a cockpit and some other details, fix a couple flaws (thanks to an off-list message from a member of the list for the insights), and accept the flaws that can't be fixed. Meanwhile, I'll hope that DML reissues the series sometime soon. I sent them an e-mail plea, and they responded favorably. Maybe a bunch of the listmembers sending a similar plea will help move things along? e-mail address: comment@dragon-models.com Good luck with the Colorado lead provided above - if you are successful I may try it afterwards. This brings up a related question for the listmembership - is there any way to establish a want/sell/trade forum on the WWI site? Or is the traffic for such requests so light that this list suffices?

I find this list a valuable forum for acquiring knowledge and discussing topics that interest all of us. I think it is detrimental to this group as a whole if ANYONE is discouraged from posting any questions or info on a thread that has been discussed many times. As John Huggins said shreds of new info can appear each time a thread has been raised. Recurring threads are only raised because we DON'T have definitive answers. I think we should be encouraging people to ask, question, discuss, raise new, previously unknown facts. I would hate to think that people could be chased from the group because of this. My own experience has been that I have been able to find no less than one new-to-me fact or post or piece of info everyday!!!! To check this, I went into the folder where I archive interesting messages from each day's list postings and sorted them in date order and guess what; I have a 5+ month list of consecutive days!!!! At least one useful message per day. Besides the comraderie, bad jokes: ) : ), and the shared interests, that is what this group is all about. Lets keep it that way.

You get the new horizontal stab/elevators, cowling, and ailerons, and a small decal sheet with all three serial numbers and the Voss face. This looks really excellent, beautiful casting, and I have already pulled out the DML kit! Buy yourself a few of these.
