[WWI] Annotated bibliography

[Robert Botham]

After the short discussion on the list a week or so ago regarding books, I
am wondering if it would be of any value to have a page on the website with
an annotated bibliography, or rather multple ones broken down into
categories such as memior/autobiography; biography/history; photo
documentation/craft research; modeling/tech tips; and so on.

Said bibliography could include reviews or comments (duly cited) by list
members who have first-hand knowledge of the book in question, publishing
info and availability, &tc.  Maybe a good way to tap into the underground
sea of knowledge that you all (collectively) contain ;)

I'd like to start with "Memoir/Autobiography."  I'd like to keep the
biographies separate.  They are distinctly different to me since they are
second hand.  I think of biography as more like history.

If any of you has any suggestions or knowledge of the following (or any
other ot works), please let me know.  After a while I'll try to write
everything into html on my page (if I can still find it) or maybe yall'd
prefer it on the wwi-modelers page somewhere.  I'm just finicky about
organization and love to have lists.
Here goes what I have so far:  Thank you!

Libby,* *Frederick. *Horses Don’t Fly*

My favorite (though I haven't actually read many yet)—Libby was a real
cowboy who’d had enough and wanted to travel for fortune and excitement.  He
happened to be in Canada when the war broke out so he renounced his US
citizenship and went into the ambulance service.  He soon became an observer
in FE2bs and later a pilot, flying the Sopwith Strutter and the DH4 in
addition to the FE2b.

The 1960 edition is the more complete.

Very elegant.

the local library and its brand new, but has the '65 date
