    Ships looking good Bob, did one of those tankers myself a while back.
    Finished 10 more for the hobby store today (Union dismounted cav) and finished some SAGA figs for another with some Griffions on the side.

    So the MO sentenced me to bed rest till the meds reduced my joint pain so I recruited my visiting son to set me up a painting station and dig out some conversions I started a few years ago, don't remember the pilots but they were real-decals from kits of yore . . .

    Those are some fine looking Albatros. I recognize a few of the markings as I was just revisiting a few of my Osprey books on Albatros Aces.

    Can't wait to see what you do for the SPADS.

    Very nice planes Dave, some day if I get ME time again have to do those planes I have been promising for the last year. In the mean time had a addition to an army I did last year. Took me 2 months to get a missing part from Warlords though (ain't the first time, but not blaming em on this one). Still waiting on a order I put in a few weeks later (week 7 and counting)

    Clipper I keep that book within arms reach. I tried to copy some of the paint jobs from there. Also that's the reason I bought a Caudron R11. Another series I found and really like are the AERONAUT books. Expensive but for me worth it. Up to 5 of them right now.

    Nice job on that FBA Robert.

    Hunter and I acquired three copies from a half price book store for $5 each 10 years ago before we had even heard of this site. He talked me into making a few Caproni bombers, then Zeppelins and you know how that went . . .

    Anyone know if there's a content difference between the UK and US versions of Aircraft of World War I 1914-1918, besides the cover? The former appears to be more readily available in the usual places...

    Chris,

    I bought this copy off eBay and did quite a lot of searching prior to determine if any differences but most concluded it's a reprint.
