[WWI] be greatful was Flyboys: Gotha Bomber Sequence

[David Vosburgh]

And what exactly *was* the a/c Stachel was flying at the end? An M.S. as I 
recall, they've got one very much like it down at Rheinbeck --- enschuldigen 
sie, Rhinebeck. It was a beauty, in any event.

Anybody up for a Rhinebeck get-together before the end of the season?
