Some of us grew up 'ard as yout's and took to bonging whatever hopped by...the season provides and occasionally, the truly bent Yank can be seen challenging Hank Aaron or even Ty Cobb (the Georgia Toad) by parking a few of those misbehavers over the fence. Ted Williams, pfhhhhhhht. To get this back otfw, many a lad re-created a Mercury splashdown with a small container, some string and a pillowcase. (This is what I was told, I was practicing piano) Some were even successful. This is a true story, as I heard it told.

If he really was mad is the same kind of question as who shot down MvR. He was called the mad Major, and the book I read about him last year, sort of vaguely implied that he was mano-depressive, OTOH it also quoted someone as saying that had he survived he might have become a prime-minister. He was much loved by his men, which McCudden wasn't (according to the foreward in Flying Fury), there may have been some upper-class disapproval causing the "mad" label, I agree with Bob about this, anyone with a working-class background would likely be regarded as strange by the upper-class officers. That could well be what happened to McCudden, and come to think of it perhaps Fonck too, the French officer class was just as bad as the British.

As far as MLK day in the U.S., MOST people are working today. Public sector and financial institutions tied to the markets give their employees the day off, but salespersons, service personnel, non-union manufacturing persons, entertainers (my radio and T.V. are not broadcasting static) and engineers (me) would have to use holiday pay to honor Martin Luther King. Sorry to rant, but I think it's a travesty the vast majority of the private sector does not recognize this great man on a federal holiday declared in his name. Stuart L.

I think "Strange" is not the primary characterization describing the view of upper class officers with respect to those who came from lower social strata. Either you were a "Gentleman" or you weren't and never the twain shall meet. And for those who think this attitude is ancient history, just keep dreaming.

Apart from some fitting problems (I got one with a warped fuselage half and on the other the ventral seam became somehow concave)that are easy to deal with with filler the only thing I had trouble with so far was the "semi-spherical" front fuselage panel: The front end of the engine had to be shaved for the part to "dock" into the fuselage and then it had to be faired in with milliput. Other than that it's no problem at all and since the cockpit opening is quite big I'm sure you'll have a field day detailling the office to exhaustion, as ever ;-) I'd recommend them any time.
