It happens in times and places when you do not expect. It starts as an innocent history in great black and white photos with great detail . . . fun flights of history and fancy . . . then you make the fatal move, you simply turn a page and there it is . . .

Some one has shared this obsession with me as well . . . maybe even more taken . . .

A dear friend of mine was obsessed to the point of traveling to Italy to interview the Caproni family and came back with lots of great information, sadly dies suddenly and all is lost.

What has been published is only a partial of the whole. Over the last 30+ years I have quite a collection of information and have built a number of models, static and flying. But still the drive to find more . . .
