Title: Sopwith Dolphin C3824, CSM, 1:48
Post by: KrzysiekK on January 06, 2017, 07:26:43 AM
Hello,
James William Pearson joined 23 Sqn on 6th of April 1918. It is reported that flying C3824 he engaged/ drove OOC/down to crash four enemy aircrafts (2x Albatros D.V, Pfalz D.III and Albatros C). Before his death in 1993 we was believed to be last surviving ace of WWI.

Very Nicely done and nice photos!  I'm sure Bud will chime in here as that is his Great-Great Uncles ' a/c if I am not mistaken.

She's absolutely gorgeous, K!  I thought you were building a Polish Dolphin, though.  I'm surprised and delighted that you chose the markings of my Great-uncle's bus.  Even though you probably didn't know about it, I'm honored.
Cheers,
Bud
