Olham 164 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) All we need to make the picture complete is a D-VII on a strafing run! Naw, let the picture grow on you. It's a great shot. I like the British look of war birds - I even find there is a beauty in the S.E.5a, and in the Bristol Fighter anyway. These birds must not always fight - I liked Arthur Gould Lee's descriptions very much, when he wrote about the daily life in his squadron - the life between the patrols and the fighting. And when I started reading "Open Cockpit"; the first part, where he revisited France and La Gorgue many years after the war's end, then I realised how he felt proud of their achievements, and sad about the chaps who hadn't made it, and melancholic about the days of youth he had seen here, and which were now gone; leaving echoes in his memories. No shooting. Let the picture grow on you. Edited October 10, 2013 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjw 48 Posted October 11, 2013 Hi Olham I see u finished those two books! They do leave quite an impression. I felt the "Empty hollow feeling" myself after reading them. It kind of takes the fight out of you so to speak! Love the photo Widow!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
