Here is a signed postcard of Adolphe Pegoud the world's first official ace. repo show flyer

It really does look great...good job!

1. Which plane (exact type) did you fly mostly so far in BHaH? SPAD XIII 2. Which Squadron, Escadrille or Jasta did you make your most flights in? 94th Aero Squadron 3. What was your highest confirmed hits score? 7 4. What were your most flight hours with one pilot? 17.8 5. Dido you fly in Dead is Dead mode? Yes DiD/TLW 6. Did you fly with 100 (or more) % reality? Yes

Please don't stop .........

What a great point...I did not even think of that....I have flown the : Spad XIII , Fokker DR1 , Fokker DVII and now the SE5a in campaign ....that's it...in 4 months....wow

Looking forward it has great visibility compared to the SPAD but as I mentioned backwards not so good. This is mitigated by the plane being ridicoulously stable while firing.

Well it is the first time I try the SE5a and I find it an extremely stable gun platform and very nimble airplane, forward visibility is also great , rear visibility not as good. I had a spectacular debut with my new unit the 56th in August 1917 (I stepped out of DiD to take pics ...I had to!). I just became a BIG fan of this airplane! enjoy the pics:

The skins look great...good job everyone!

Turn on lables , the sky is full of enemy.

There was no limit . His DSC citation clearly states the two confirmed kills. I would guess it had to do with lack of witnesses, but I see no mention in the official scores that he even claimed the other two. Here is his citation: Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Arthur Raymond Brooks, Second Lieutenant (Air Service), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action over Mars-la-Tour, France, September 14, 1918. When his patrol was attacked by 12 enemy Fokkers over Mars-la-Tour, 8 miles within the enemy lines, Second Lieutenant Brooks alone fought bravely and relentlessly with eight of them, pursuing the fight from 5, 000 meters to within a few meters of the ground, and though his right rudder control was out and his plane riddled with bullets, he destroyed two Fokkers, one falling out of control and the other bursting into flames.

To me, it's always happned now and then since the first time I got OFF in January. Maybe you have just had a run of luck with it . I have seen that there are also times that your going 5MPH on the ground and loop the plane and die...so it goes both ways. I think Povloski once said it's a role playing roll. You have been real lucky is my guess....just a guess.

Thanks for the kind comments. I don't think it needs to be stickied ,not really on topic, and because I will ressurect it now and again when I update it.

20 years and a lot of work. I actually obtained a lot of items for next to nothing and wrote to hundreds of living aces in the early 90s , made many contacts with authors of books and collectors all over the world etc.

Here you go Siggi but keep in mind that he lived a long time and signed many, many things. His signature is not considered rare. Erich Hartmann 352 Victories

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. gwar, I have a large collection of Vietnam autographs including many Mig Killers, I also have Korea and the largest part of my collection is WW2 (including 18 of the top 20 American scorers, many KIA and all Luftwaffe pilots over 200 many KIA and Japanese, Russians, British, you name it). I'll try to post some more WW1 related stuff in the next few weeks.

The more the better. Plase upload them to the site so people can enjoy them. At the end of the month we will go through all the uploads and choose the winner. good luck!

Widowmaker this is cleared ...they will all be available for download. Once you upload them to combat ace they will be immediately available for download. Good luck!

themighty...I designed multiple campaigns for DGEN (the first campaigns after Pacific Fighters official release and still included in EnjoyR's massive patch) .... DGEN is the actual campaign engine for IL2. The "perhaps never" is more accurate unless Oleg or Starshoy get behind it and start coding. The map alone is the main hurdle for DGEN. The only campaign you could possibly get when this is released is canned missions strung together. Thus only the MP version of it would hold any interest.

Please tell me that everyone realizes in this thread that it is just a package with planes and some objects and a map. NO CAMPAIGN whatsoever, so what is even the point of any comparisons?

Fly with the Yanks in the 94th Aero Squadron late 1918...never a dull moment believe me.
