The other two British ships involved were the light cruiser Glasgow and AMC Otranto. Craddock ordered Otranto to escape early in the action while Glasgow stayed to try and aid Monmouth until being forced to the south. Both elderly cruisers were lost with all hands (including the first RCN loss). In retaliation the Admiralty ordered the new battlecruisers Invincible and Inflexible south. These two were as superior to Scharnhorst/Gneisenau as the latter were to Monmouth and Good Hope. These were to join up with the cruisers Kent, Cornwall, Carnarvon, Bristol, Glasgow, Macedonia and the AMC Otranto and then find and destroy the German squadron. The British squadron stopped at the Falklands on 7 December 1914 to replenish their coal bunkers ... at the same time that the Germans decided to bombard the island. .... The next morning von Spee got a bit of a surprise to see the masts of capitol ships over the hills as they approached Stanley. The Germans then turned and tried to escape, but the superior speed of the battlecruisers enabled them to pick off the German ships one by one .. the two armoured cruisers turned back in an attempt to let the light cruisers escape, but eventually they were all hunted down and destroyed or captured.

Cottages? ~Steve di Giacomo The coaling station itself and the signal/wireless station, along with some commercial operations in support of Antarctic fisheries and whalers. The odd thing is that Sturdee, the British admiral, seems to have taken a rather leisurely path to the Falklands and waited a while after anchoring before ordering the coaling. His ships had minimal or no steam up when the German squadron came over the horizon, and the latter could have had a leisurely target practice while the British squadron got up steam - except for the old pre-Dreadnought Canopus, half aground as a floating battery, which lobbed a couple of 12" salvos in a straddle. Legend has it, the shells were practice dummies, too. von Spee's lookouts suddenly noticed there were capital ship tripod masts in Port Stanley and started to high tail it out, but the British squadron had a better speed, both ship-for-ship and fleet speed, and overhauled them. Spee's gunners had established a reputation for excellence, and even though totally outgunned, they put a couple of rounds into one of the two battle cruisers when those strayed too close. It is estimated that the British gunnery was atrocious at only about 1.5% hits and the shell rooms on the two British ships was severely depleted by the time Gneisenau sank. Sharnhorst sank with all hands. There were, IIRC, about 200 survivors from the Gneisenau. Fortunately, the WWII Bismarck situation of U-boat threat did not occur and rescue was as complete as possible in the frigid waters. .Mark. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 13:41:53 -0600 From: "Fr.

The Aerodrome CD is a collection of issues of Aerodrome Modeler list members had. Bob Pearson, et al, digitized all of the issues they had and burned them onto a CD.

I recently ordered five of the OT Harleyford books from a dealer in Arizona. The prices were very good, but it's been over a month and they still haven't arrived. I'm afraid I've become a bit fixated on them. Last night I dreamed they arrived, but every picture inside of "Aircraft of the 1915-1918 War" was of the 'messer' German bird in the second unpleasantness. I awoke with a start and couldn't get back to sleep.
