Post by: Puck on January 05, 2010, 11:44:31 AM

In the interest of staying ahead of the curve and being proactive, I hereby submit my wish for (any of these will do; we can skin the rest later)...

Can we also throw this in?   :pray   :angel:    :devil  Provided there's plenty of good quality ersatz oil available.

It's a Siemens-Schuckert D.III, Gus, a fast-climbing, geared-rotary-engined Hun fighter mostly used for Home Defence against the intrusions made over der Vaterland in the last few months of WWI by the DH4, DH9 and DH9A strategic bombers of the RAF's Independent Air Force. The red one with LO! painted on the side was the personal mount of Ernst Udet, the highest-scoring German 'ace' to survive the war.

Me, I still want my ol' DoA SE5a back . . .

 :cool:

215 mph dives any one? Nothing comes close to the SE5a's dive. I want my Albatros D.Va though, even though it breaks into pieces like a 1999 Lego X-Wing.

Thanks for the pic of a great aeroplane flown by a great fighter pilot in one of the greatest fights of WWI, Plawranc.
 
'I have been a very silly boy. Bring me another Snipe, I've broken this one.'

He'd single-handed taken on a flock of Fokker D.VIIs, shot down at least one of them, been seriously wounded and his Snipe was full of holes. So they gave Canadian Billy Barker a Victoria Cross instead.
