Can you name the pilots & their machines?
1. SPAD XIII, Neiuport 28, Eddie Rickenbacker
2. Albatros D-V, (don't recall first name) Bromowski
3. Sopwith Camer, (again, I forget his first name) Olieslagers
4. Morane-Saulnier Type N, Jean Chaput
5. Fokker Dr-I, Manfred von Richthofen
6. RAF SE 5a, Billy Bishop
Good job Sam,
FWIW in 1 the SPAD XIII is Frank Luke's Spad. and 2 is an Albatross DIII of Hauptmann Godwin Brumowski.
Yep I have those models as well as Rickenbacker's Neiuport and one of the Red Barons triplanes
Pilot 3's first name was Jan.
That is a good collection of models, medals and photographs, which you put together for the quiz, Drew. :thumbsup:
:thumbsup: Nice pics of the pilots, planes & medals!
Not too difficult when the name comes up as you hover over the pic !
I thought so, too, but decided not to say anything!Quote:

great pics! now which medals are original?
They are all original apart from the "Blue Max" the WW1 Iron Cross 2nd Class was given to me when I was five years old by my great uncle who fought in the battle of the Somme as a private, the medal came after the battle in a trade for some "Woodbines" cigarettes.Quote:

Neat little collection Drew.
Rob.
Alas I started at 3, my mother gave me 1/6 to buy a WW1 victory to wear as I was playing with my Airfix 1/72 toy soldiersQuote:

This set was bought in 1969 (Captain M G Hogg) for next to nothing in todays money.
The Airfix German Infantry brings back memories from the late '60s for me.
:thumbsup:
What did it for me were two American "Toys" both of which I got my hands on.Quote:
