[WWI] Harleyford Books

[John Biskupski]

Speaking of Harleyford books - I recently unpacked some boxes I hadn't opened in about 35 years. Amongst other things were: Harleyford's Aircraft of the '14-'18 War and the von Richtofen book.  Anybody interested, please make an offer.
   
  Thanks,

I like to build anything that flew in WWI. I am also into WWII aircraft and 
armor (or to you English armour) especially German stuff.
As to the Harleyford drawings, it just a question in general as to there 
accuracy.
I do have specific question about the Albatros D.Va. Is there a solid 
bulkhead behind the pilot's seat? The details I have only shows an open 
wood cross bracing. it looks like an oval with an X through it with a 
rectangular reinforcing plate in the center.

T.O.M.
