I had not considered buying the next round of Breguets, but I would definitely get those.

You're not wrong, I was referring to the machine B4863 rather than the paint job. The dumbell markings were the first unit markings issued to 56 sqn, and at that time the flights painted the dumbells in their colours - A: White; B: Blue; C: Red. If things didn't change then McCudden's would have blue dumbells in the Voss fight. The 18" white band came in a couple of days after that encounter on 25th Sep '17.
It would be nice if Ares did the dumbell version then with a quick lick of white paint we could have the later option.

The third Breguet Br.14 A2 flown by 1st Lt. Gilbert Stanley and 2nd Lt. H.T. Folger is from the U.S. 96th Aero Squadron.

Here is a quotation from 'WW1 96th Aero Squadron History' about a raid in 1918. The document is available on Scribd.

"The 96th brought down two more enemy scouts out of 15 encountered on a raid to Danvillers October29th. 1st Lt Gilbert Stanley, pilot, and 2nd Lt. H. T. Folger, observer, were wounded in the combat and forced to land at a hospital near Verdun."

Here are two pictures of 96th Squadron Breguets. I do not know whether either of them was Stanley and Folger's machine but you can see the squadron's emblem.

Hello!

Their is machine on the left, # 10, serial 4876.

This is a good example of a new little page you could add to the Wiki of Glory!

**Angiolillo** · 02-04-2018 00:30

Hello!

I updated the Wiki of Glory to make clear which planes were in the Dogfight booster pack, which were in the Wings of War Series 4 and which will be in the Wings of Glory reprint. See Wings of Glory Airplane Packs Series 4 here:

http://www.wikiofglory.info/index.php?title=Products

Here you have the list of all S.E.5/S.E.5a:

http://www.wikiofglory.info/index.php?title=S.E.5a

The structure is there. You are warmly invited to add details on these planes and to add pages for the quoted squadrons and pilots as you like. Please use previous pages as models to copy and adapt. Details here:

Andrea,

Back in May on BGG you mention that you hoped to reissue the DH.2 "within the year". Is this still in the works of did plans shift with T&T and the series 4 reprints?

**Angiolillo** · 02-09-2018 12:08

It's still in the plans, but I do not know when.

**BwanaJoe** · 02-09-2018 19:02

Great to hear. One of those, a ballon and an Eindekker would be perfect birthday presents this year!

I got all 3 DH.2s at a FLGS "we're changing locations" sale a few years back for ~$5 each. Had I known then what I know now, I'd have bought every WGS/WGF item they had left!!!

**Gallo Rojo** · 02-10-2018 06:58

Is it there any time line for a new reprint of Series 1?

**flash** · 02-10-2018 07:30

Not seen anything official Ezekiel but my understanding was it would be about the same time as the Tripod KS release which would make sense as four of them feature in the bundles

**Gallo Rojo** · 02-10-2018 07:56

Thanks Dave!
I have a cople of Albatros DV and Camels waiting for repainting and I dont want to do anything until I know which new schemes will be released -- it happened to me in the past that a mini I spent time on repainting was later released as a new oficial reprint

**flash** · 02-10-2018 11:23

Yeah, I don't blame you Ezekiel, that's really frustrating ! Hopefully we'll get some hard news soon.

**Naharaht** · 02-17-2018 00:26

I know that the pilots for the Series 4 reprint planes have already been chosen but with the advent of teh balloons reprint it seems a pity that Andrew Beauchamp-Proctor's S.E.5a was not included since he was the R.F.C./R.A.F.'s top balloon busting ace.
