Midland-Counties sent me a note saying there would be a delay, but in fact it came faster than usual. The Baby datafile has a wonderful cover showing a french machine. Also there is a aknowledgment to our own Knut-Erik. The Baby is a lovely little machine, there is even a US version, I almost regret choosing the Schneider version. The Tabloid minidatafile was out of stock, who's been buying all those?! The other mail was from Albatross, it was my old photos that I sent in to Ray nearly eight years ago, and a courtesy copy of Windsock. I think that was a nice gesture, because I haven't subscribed for this year. I'm giving in now, Windsock is just too good to miss. I'll be sending in my subscription next week. Like St. Harry writes "quality costs". It's always fun to read Harry Woodman banging away at all the "charlatans", which seems to be just about everyone except Ray Rimell and himself. Ray had been surfing and noticed that we do the same on the various WW1 websites. He can't possibly mean this list, can he?;-) Lance article was great, I missed most of it on the list, it was before my time, very interesting and a lovely model. Finally there was an awful photo of my Spad XI, I wish I'd known he would finally publish it, I could have sent him some much better pics, the ones on the gallery for instance! That was taken with our old camera, and from the angle where I see all the mistakes, I didn't notice them till I built the SpadXVI, now I can only look at that model from certain angles, AMS symptom I suppose. /Neil ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2001 15:02:57 -0300 From: "dfernet0" To: "WW1 modeling Mail List" Subject: Who's the author of Full Circle?

On page 22/23 there are photos of the undercarriage, a piece of fuslage tubing & a field in Frenzenberg where it is thought Voss crashed & was buried, possibly in an unmarked grave. Also on page 27 there is the British RFC report, #G72, on the Fokker Triplane airframe & its construction. Rhys Davids said "I was so close to him that I was certain we would collide." At this time Rhys Davids stated his altitude was 1000ft. & that the Triplane made a slight right turn still going down when he lost sight of it. Hope this helps.

I get confused because on one troll through the book shelf a while back I read Johnson's, Galland's, Sakai's, amd Bob Tuck's books back to back. I was a bit pop eyed at the end of it but was rearing to go on some modeling. Helped me get out of a near fatal model blockage. Done the same for OT stuff by reading McCudden's book, Derek Robinson's War Story, The Bandy papers and assorted other tales to reignite my lust for biplanes and rigging.
