[WWI] VERY IMPORTANT (Re: Bezobrazov's triplanes)

[Douglas Anderson]

The price is a little out of my pocket, but I agree with Eugene, we could all contribute and have the pictures as a resource for this group.

I think maybe it's worth  - at first - to contact these guys and learn more about this album - how good the photos actually are, etc.  If they are not a hoaxers, maybe it's worth to follow the way proposed by Iban? I personally would gladly donate $ 10 for this! 
     By the way, is there still a virus on that website?...

  Eugene,
Is there any reason to believe that this item is genuine ?
I re-read the chapter in Maslov and also the article by Sultanov. Neither
refer to Bezobrazov as Count Chernishov. According to Sultanov, Alexander
Bezobrazov was just an ensign (praporshik) in the army.

Worried about my hinge lines.....
