    1. I've gotten permission from Kesselbrut to post a version of his WW2 infantry for use in First Eagles. Here's the laundry list of odd things:
      1. They're WW2 lods, so one man in each squad has a bazooka that fires as a rifle.
      2. All squads, French, British, German, and American, have lods that show a tripod mounted Browning type 30 cal machine gun, although each different nationality is armed with a machine gun from the gun data ini: French, Hotchkiss; Germans, Maxims; British, Vickers; and Americans, Colt-Brownings.
      3. I had to increase the rifleman's rate of fire to 30 rpm just to get the little peckerwoods to fire at all.
      4. I changed the French uniform color to as close to Horizon Blue as my color blind eyes would let me, but now the Frenchman are a little pasty, and seem to have a mild sunburn. I am not a graphic artist.
      5. Although I've changed the data ini weapons and detection systems to say AIR_AND_GROUND, the little jerks still just fire at each other, and I don't know why, although it might be that because of the range at which they start they are already engaged with opposing forces. This mod will give you infantry squads blazing away at each other in single missions (Army Co-operation), especially if you change the data inis of your tanks to RARE, and VERY_RARE, availabilities. And, like me, you might enjoy running the little buggers down with your prop and landing gear.
       
      Just put the folders into your ground object folder and the GUNDATA.INI into your object folder and it will work. Hopefully someone will make some real WW1 infantry.

    6. Ltn Alois Heldmann Fokker D.VII - serial 244/18 - Jasta 10 / 1918. The misconception that this aircraft was flown by Lothar von Ricthofen comes from a series of photographs taken when D.VII 244/18 was borrowed by Lothar in July 1918. Indeed Lothar von Richtofen's flight in that aircraft, during which he accomplished his 30th victory.

    8. This is a skin of Frank Luke Jr.'s Spad XIII. From Arizona, he became know as "the Arizona balloon buster" for his agressive attacks on observation balloons. In only 17 days he shot down 10 balloons and four enemy aircraft. The day he was killed he downed three balloons, his plane was disabled by ground fire and was forced to land behind enemy lines. He was soon surrounded but drew his sidearm and exchanged fire before he was killed. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and the Medal of Honor. Luke Airforce base is named in his honor.
