I think it does! When I first saw the picture, the houses were not visible 'til I scrolled down. I thought the waves were pretty damned impressive. Then I scrolled down...they're breathtaking. Great picture.

Kids these days!

Well done, indeed.

Agreed. We used to find so many things to talk about. And we could ask each other WOFF questions too. And now that we're no longer the OFF/WOFF site, there are other interesting sims out there.

As to your second sentence, good thinking, I'll have to work out a hawk graphic. As to your first, I'll just have to watch my six.

About a year ago I received a book from Amazon.com with a small freebie book enclosed, a smallish (paperback sized) slim volumn. It was the memoirs of a pilot/crewman who flew with a Handley-Page bomber group whose specialty was night ops. The group changed their home airfield so many times they acquired the nickname "The Bedouins". It was an interesting little read, but not a keeper...so I didn't, and now I regret it. I entered this thread title in the Amazon search bar, but get no response back. I know that many of you have read broadly on WWI aviation. Can anyone help me out? . ps: This thread title was the sub-title of the book.

I do a fly-by daily to see what's up, but the graphics are pretty bleak. Truth to tell, when I want a little 'stick time', I'm gravitating to RoF these days.

A good thing to remember. My luck has been so good with amazon.com in the past that I start thinking that if I can't find it there, it probably doesn't exist. Wikipedia, too. I tried finding any reference to a Handley-Page bomber group that called itself 'the Bedouins'. Nothing. My two favorites wells gone dry. Ah, but good old Combat Ace...

You may be in for a very, very busy weekend. I am amazed at the new names over at WOFF. Did WOFF just get discovered by hoards of new people? (I hope)

Nice. Did you shoot it up? (or was it on your side of the lines?)

Brilliant, theultimat. I thought this one was going to be a real toughie to find. Thanks much. . Ooops! And thanks to you too, Olham. I just didn't scroll down far enough.

And some days, not even that. Not even WOFF topics. No hair-raising combat tales. No screenies. It does seem that the air has gone out of the tires.

Thanks, lads. Let's all to the BOC mess. I'm buying.

No particular Jasta in mind; just hornets or yellow-jackets.

When the Rittsmeister got a Dr.1, did the whole squadron get so equipped, or just partly, or no one but von Richtofen?

Good. It's nice when reality matches the legend.

Could someone direct me to the button that brings up training flights? Thanks.

I thought the Dr.1 he was flying when he died had khaki-green under the wings and on patches of fuselage.

Right. I took that to be your meaning.

Outstanding. Thanks, Shred.

Two fatalities on the first two days of delivery? That'll give a plane a bad rep. But from mid-December 1917 to April 21, 1918 (when von Richtofen is killed) were all the Albatros fighters replaced?

His parting comment, that it was all "Just luck" may be overstating the case, but like Steve Jobs, he was in the right place at the right time.

Seems as though it could. In the one area where the British actually managed to breach the German lines (and quite handily) they deployed a huge flame projector underground in its own tunnel system with a pop-up head/nozzle that bathed the German trenches with a napalm-like mixture. Very nasty.

Me neither. I always thought flamethrowers (the mobile back-pack version)were a German invention. 'Seems the Lusitania made a very big impression on Captain Livens.

As I recall, it was not the Devs, It was a user. Is there any way to research past threads?
