[WWI] New Breguet

[Andy Bannister]

Hmmm.... Sounds a bit like folklore to me but I guess it's as good a theory
as any. Good thing he had reasonably sized pockets or I'd be building in
1/200th scale....

Some years ago I read an interesting article about the origin of 1/72 scale
in Aeromodeller magazine. A British aeromodeller named Peter Capon began to
build solid wood scale models for selling after WW1, without any concern on
scales. On day, building an AVRO 504, he realized that making a 6" wing, it
would fit in the front socket of his apron and so he could transport all the
model parts there. That wingspan resulted in 1/72 scale, and it was slected
for all his following models...

No, it's in 1/72nd scale, which of course is the only true scale endorsed by
the Pope, the Teamsters and the Swedish Flight Attendants association. Andy
