[WWI] Spad decals

[Dave Calhoun]

I don't know if Bob Pearson is still doing the decals (not sure if his ALPS
printer is still working, know mine died a few years back) but he did a
sheet of USAS squadron logos for me including the 13th Grim Reaper and the
Mecurios (139th?) price was pretty reasonable for a custom decal sheet.

Hi,

Bob Pearson has done a load of them, US and French, and they are on his CD.

I'm sure you could create a decal from those for yourself if you bought
his CD.

Or maybe you could come to an agreement on the ones you want, and get a
vector graphic from him, if he does that.
