[WWI] back on track

[Diego Fernetti]

Hello listeroos.
If anyone noticed or not, I'm back in the usual battle station. I took a few 
days off on a trip. Fun!
Speaking of unlikely places, I found a second -hand bookstore in a small 
town and guess what I found there?
"Cours d'Aviation, Livre I: Appareils d'Aviation et Propulseurs" issued in 
the year 1918. It has several plans with measurements of several prewar 
Nieuports and Deperdussins and Blériots. The Nieuport monoplane drawings 
seem complete and have structural and internal details, like fittings and 
fuel tanks. Besides, there is a good deal of explaining of those questions 
that sometimes spring to mind "how they made to attach the fabric to the 
wings?" or "How they calculated the incidence angle?" plus a good deal of 
Mathematics of flight wrapping it all. There are a few blurry B and W 
pictures of prewar machines, none of which I had seen previously.

It costed me about 1,5 USD
