[WWI] Fokker D.VII in US Service (off topic)

[Richard Bilak]

Hi Steve,
A publication with decals published by Blue Rider and entitled "Fokker D.VII Foreign Color Schemes" maybe what you need. Not any photographs of a US marked Fokker, but line drawings and of course the decals. The line drawing and Tom's photo both have been reengined with a Liberty engine. What scale are you  going to build the plane in? God's scale or Godzilla scale? I'll be happy to pass along any info I have.

Cheers,
Rick (Now ducking) Bilak
