It appears to be either chordwise or at a 45 degree angle. One closeup of the lower wing actually seems to show it at a 45 across the wind, that is, from right to left leading edge to trailing edge instead of the other way around which you would normally expect to find. There is a definite line in the photo that looks like the seam, or it may just be a scratch, however it's awfully straight. On page 23, aircraft 7504/18 is shown with a caption that the top wing is covered in 4 color while the bottom wing is covered in 5 color. Looks like Dicta Ira until a better source comes along.

Careful here - in the USA the brand name Ajax is used for a gritty scouring clenser that is a powder form with chlorine 'bleach' in it in a dry form. Other brand name for this would be Comet. Best if we put origin of brand names beside things when we use them for clarity. Windex (US) or Ajax (UK) etc. Sound like a good idea? By the way - don't mix Windex (US) with Ajax (US) as the chlorine and ammonia make a poisonous gas!

This was an O.A.W. built version. I checked my Americal/gryphon Jasta 13 instructions, which contain a sheet showing Ex-works markings, Fokker-built Fokker D.VII. My question is this: are the stencils used on the wings the same for Fokker & O.A.W. built aircraft? especially the lift arrows on the wingtips. The Americal sheet says that O.A.W. built D.VII airframes are covered in the Jasta12 sheets, but I do not have these. If anyone has this sheet, and can give me the information, I would be thankful. it appears that Buchner flew an O.A.W. built aircraft, so the Jasta 13 decals probably include all of the correct stencils to do this version, but the instructions are unclear about this.

Then I'll ask "Who has C&C volume XXIV/4?" instead of "how does it look the instrument panel on a Naglo quadruplane?" It'll be a great advance! I'll look more knowledgeable, for a start. $15 is a good price for all that research. But make sure that it shows a nice cover art ;-) Regards D. ----- Original Message ----- From: Matt Bittner To: Multiple recipients of list Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 12:06 PM Subject: My reference database > I haven't decided for sure, but I'm thinking of offering my reference > database on CD-ROM.
