DH-4 Liberty 50th Aero

Recommended Posts

Another slow go - but I fell in love with the excellent DH-4 Liberty that Stephen1918 gave us.

 

With time out for Tropical Storm Debbie, I've been working since I got back from Italy.

The lower fuselage and other lower surfaces are light gray, but some monitors (including one of mine) render the color as light blue.

Light gray really is correct, despite some sources suggesting light cream or yellow.

 

Don't ask how long it will take to "complete" . . .

 

BTW I did get some OK photos at the WWI hangar at the Italian Air Force Museum. I'll post a few soon.

Well it's about time you got these guns delivered!

Getting this airplane ready for combat will take at lot more effort than I've seen so far!

The United States declared war in April 1917.

At this rate it will be over a year before the Liberty planes see real action!

The Marlin is an excellent weapon. It fires faster with much less mechanical trouble than anything at the front,

but it usn't at the front yet!

 

If it wasn't for Stephen1918 this plane would never be ready at all!

Two Marlins AND two Lewis guns??? I'm glad my German careers are generally 1916-17 :) And I'm tempted to squeeze in a 1918 campaign now, BEFORE this arrives!

 

PS if General Pershing is a new ground object and we bomb him, do the Yanks Go Home? :)
