Hello Ray,

Does your new book cover the Aircraft (Staakens) as well, or do you focus on the airships? Either way, sounds very interesting.

Hi Jim.

We covered the Staakens in our 95th Datafile. This new one covers 25 different Zeppelins that were built and operated in 1914 and  1915. I will post a contents list shortly,

Cheers,

Ray R.

Hello Ray

Firstly thanks for bringing out a special on the early Zeppelins, I will have that one when it comes out along with the v/1500 you just launched.

The second thing is just a suggestion, how about covering British Airships. For the rigids you have the R23 and R23X types or for the blimps you've got the Parsevals (actually several nations with these), North Sea Class, Coastal class, Coastal Star class and the SS Zeros (the most numerous single type of the war). I know you covered the SS BE.2c in Windsock Worldwide a while ago but the list above should provide several Datafiles surely.

Cheers, Alan.

Hi Al,

I would like to include the British ships in our series but have no photos and very little data. It would need a specialist author to tackle this one I feel.

Cheers,

Ray

Thanks for getting back Ray

I guess a Datafile without much data would probably not be such a good idea. None the less I am still looking forward to getting the Zeppelin Special.

Cheers, Alan.
