If you have something that you are interested in, let me know. I'm
supposed to catalog the contents of the library and post it. With a new job
and taking some classes getting in the, I have fallen way behind. I post any
new items that come in to try and keep everyone abreast of things. I will

I've heard that the colors may have ranged from olive green to a brown color. I've seen lots of olive or dull green tripes but haven't come across any browns. Anyone out there have any comments about brownish shades on the DR.1? And what about the DR.1 replica at the Air Force museum in Dayton? If I remember correctly, it appears to be an orange-brown.

I have that WS issue (Vol.6, n.6, 1990): it was the "Italian Special Issue" and the Ca 3 article is an interesting one in my view. I will be happy to send a copy of it to you if no one else can provide an original. Just let me know. Usually, Ca 3s were armed with Revelli machine guns (Aeroclub have a nice rendition of them in white metal), but some aircraft could have used Villar Perosa guns, too. Usually, the rear gunner's position was equipped with just one gun, to save weight, but on some occasions double Revellis were carried in that position, while the three gun arrangement was experimental. Ca. 3 4164 was from the 4137 - 4236 production batch, equipped with Isotta-Fraschini V4B engines (see the relevant Datafile, on pages 34 and 35 for two good pictures and a nice drawing of the engine). According to Roberto Gentilli and Paolo Varriale ("I Reparti dell'Aviazione Italiana nella Grande Guerra", page 125), 4164 was not assigned to 7a Squadriglia, but to 11a Squadriglia, and flown in Albania. It was shot down by the A-H ace Bela Makourek on the 6th July 1918. The Ca. 3 crew was made of Ten. Antonio Magnacavallo, Sgt. Giovanbattista Boero, Ten. Manlio Candela and Cap. Leonardo Giuliano, who all perished.The bomber's inscriptions were "Piave" and "Osum" (the latter being the name of an Albanian river), two rivers where Italian troops demonstrated their gallantry. 4164 was shot down after having bombed Metali: it was hit in the almost empty fuel tanks and exploded in flight. The only picture I have of the aeroplane is not a very good one, but it suggests the colour scheme was manily standard, with clear doped **unbleached** linen (thus darker than the more common Italian clear doped bleached linen). I hope this can be of some interest. Please let me know whether I can be of further help.

There is always a problem shotting flares. The device that cuses oit to fly out gets really nhot when that little exp;osion occurs. they tried one in the 1940s that could be hit on a rock or some other hard thingy and it could burn hands very readily. All the devices we had broke, over center, forward of the cartridge loading chamber. flipped back to shut and then fire. Even the ones in the aircraft worked in a similar manner. The cartridges were like oversized shotgun cells and often metallic. I suspect it was for extra strength because of the much higher weight of the items ejected when fired. We also had Mortar flares. They had parachutes attached and were much larger. Tear gas canisters are a pop and throw device. The quicker you throw the better. They get hot very fast. Lee M.

You are right about Very pistols getting hot! I wonder if there was a holster in the cockpit for the pistol; some WW2 fighters of all nations had them and some had them spring-clipped to a bulkead or side-wall.

The SPAD & Camel have been pretty frequent, as have the Nie 28, the DVII & the Dr1. The Morane N was around late 80's/early 90s. On the other hand, I can't recall the DH2, Sopwith Tripe, Nie 17, or SE5A, as having been released in the last 15 years. The Fokker E111 was discontinued about 1986. My choice for rerelease would be the DH2, Tripe and SE5a (Maybe the Nie 17). The Camel is still the best 1/72nd scale one !
