Thanks.
You know, the Sikorsky S.20 and Pfalz Dr.I would make nice models in WSF. Both used operationally, as your book says.

Thanks Roman - another for the library !

Nice little Book - but the information about the Pfalz Dr. I is a little confusing, I think!

The Pfalz Dr. I was built after a specification from IdFlieg for a Triplane and was later converted to a Biplane (Pfalz D.VII and D.VIII).

On the other side, when Anthony Fokker heard about the interest of IdFlieg about a triplane Fighter (he was not suplied with the specifications from IdFlieg) he converted the Fokker D.VI-Prototype (Factory designation - not a prototype of the later D.VI-fighter) that was under construction for the A-H Luftfahrttruppen to a triplane. Because the welded steeltube-fuselage was relative easy to convert he was one of the first to present a triplane.

The Pfalz Dr. I had the best climb-rate of the german fighters in WW I but was to slow as a fighter plane, like the Dr. I witch production ended, when the Pfalz Dr. I entered frontline trials.

The Pfalz D.III Triplane conversion was built to find out the better performance of triplane and biplane. The plane showed better climb-ability in the biplane version (middle wing removed) because of airflow interference between the wings.

Some of those are **** Dastardly and Muttley worthy, but that Sikorsky looks intriguing.

Second that. Often I've found data for aircraft on pages associated with Roman's paper models. He has provided a service to us all.

[gully_raker]

Fantastic! Thank you Roman.

Care to share what you've found out about the Roland D.XVI's performance?

Looks like a lost Eagle Eris.
Drop Roman a PM and see if he can resurrect it for you.
Rob.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Same for me to, only getting a black page, pity. Must drop Roman a direct line to see if he will resurrect the link.

[Naharaht]

I too get a blank page when I click on the link.

[Zakopious]

Another neat thing about the Lost Eagles book is that there is a 1/72 scale cardmodel of the Osterreichische Aviatik 30.40 on the last page.

A single prototype of the monoplane Aviatik 30.40 was made during the summer of 1918.

If you can't get this I downloaded the PDF.
Drop me your emails and I'll pass it on, it was free so no copyright as far as I am aware

[boomerpete53]

I also got a BLANK PAGE, is it possable to get a copy emailed or uploaded in files?
