Olham 164 Posted June 25, 2012 Thank you guys! Though I'm commonly known as the "Albatros Man" - how could I seriously reject the wonderful Sopwith Triplane? 1.000 posts more will be quickly done - perhaps you order one from Mr. Sopwith already, so we won't have delays?

IV/JG1_Kaiser 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Well done Olham. Can you tell me in "Drum fahr Ich nicht nach Hawaii," is Drum an accepted contraction of darum? BTW it looks likes the lad had a grand time!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted June 26, 2012 Can you tell me in "Drum fahr Ich nicht nach Hawaii," is Drum an accepted contraction of darum? BTW it looks likes the lad had a grand time!! Yes, it is. When I read the book of Max Immelmann with many of his letters from 1915, I find that they used to speak a bit different, "old fashioned" compared to today's German. "Drum und dran" is still said though (Darum und daran = paraphernalia, trappings). These men were from FA8 (Fliegerabteilung 8), and it looks like they had a little party.
