Wow! those uniforms weren't cheap. I wonder how an uniform like those full of golden embroidery as used in the late XIXth century would cost now -and how much more would have signified on those days!- > To bring this OT, you see a number of WWI and post-WWI group photo's > with a mix of uniforms as RFC officers wore their khakis out before > rekitting and more junior (or wealthier) officers wore RAF uniforms.

YES that was a huge percent of Canadian population, actually puts Canada's losses (as percent population) in the top 4, I believe, up there with France and Germany. Another way of looking at it, when the American Civil War (1861-65) cost 600,000 lives, the combined population of North and South was already about 28 to 30 million. These WW I losses are one of the reasons why WW I is still remembered and honoured in Canada. Similarly Aussie losses were such that they haven't forgotten either.

Richerd and Dennis must have >inserted some >wire pins into them too. I always try to use wire if I can, especially if it's not plastic. With plastic, using tube glue "welds" the wings into place. With resin or resin-to-plastic as was the case with the Roseplane SSW DDr.1, you have to strengthen it somehow. With the SSW DDr.1, the vac wings were too thin to drill holes at the end, so I used 5 minute epoxy. However, I hate using epoxy - I make a mess, it sticks to my fingers and I don't like the smell. If I can, I use 28 gauge copper wire, as I did with the Phonix D.III resin kit. Actually, if you look at Dennis' Taube, he attaches the wings using pins and there is a gap between the wings, as he says, "...three spars were added to separate the wings from the fuselage".

Message-ID: Friends, those among you who visit my website from time to time know that I recently started research to draw back the way Manfred von Richthofen and his Uhlan regiment No.1 took from the unloading point Bouzonville near Thionville via Luxembourg, Arlon, Virton, to the region of Verdun where the movement of the Germans stopped and where he finally decided to become an aviator. A few days ago I received a lot of information regarding the battles in the regions of Virton, Etalle, Ethe et Rossignol - information about the units of both sides and the combats as well as about the atrocities committed by the Germans. I personally was stunned to read what really went on so close to my door because I never have heard anything about it before. There was very fierce battles being fought with thousands of casualties on both sides - and a total of more than 2000 murdered civilians. I am about to drown in all of the detailed information coming in and there is much more yet to come. It is my big advantage to speak French as well as German so I can gather information from German sources as well as from the French/Belgian sources to shed light on the events from both sides. The idea came to my mind to write a well researched book about the invasion of the Germans and the early battles they fought until the time the movement stopped, changing the war to a trench war. I want to write this book in English, mainly from the view of the German Uhlans, but also I want to include any other information about their French opponents and the strategies used on both sides as well as about the atrocities that happened after the battles. It is not intended to write a heroic story about the great Manfred von Richthofen only, but a most detailed documentation about the true events of August 1914. Also I want to include all possible details about the involved units - their uniforms, equippment and weapons. I want to provide color pictures and photographs of the real weapons, uniforms and equippement with value for the figure modeler. That book shall become a book for the historically interested who seeks correct information about the events as well as for the modeler who wants to build figures or dioramas of this period of WW1. What I now want to ask you is written in the subject line: How big is your interest into the early battles of the Great War? Would you buy a book about this chapter of WW1? It's somewhat strange to suddenly realize that so much has been written about the important battles such as Arras or Verdun, or about prominent characters such as von Richthofen, but not much seems to be available about the early battles in the "Province du Luxembourg" and "La Gôme" in Belgium.

Message-ID: <6f.10dfd7ed.27b62ade@aol.com> I remember reading some post awhile back about this Aeroclub BE2c kit and mention of a very nice camera that came with it. I received my kit today from Sierra Scale which was very quick to fill my order BTW, however I have checked the contents and can find no camera inside, the instructions do mention that a camera is included but that is all. Am I right in thinking that there's supposed to be a camera or not? Thanks for the help. Best Regards, Jon Jon V.
