Brilliant! - Many thanks for this one, to you and Ray.
For all of it, especially the extensive piece about the remarkable von Banfield.

i wonder is there anything different in these pages from the book "air aces of the austro hungarian empire 1914-1918"? guess i have read it and find out.lol. usually i download and print the articles jamo posts. i'm gradually gon fill a binder.

Written by the same chap so if you have his book, these articles may be redundant, but then you wouldn't have Ray's lovely colour profiles

All we need now is WNW to announce some of these beauties to go with this.


Thanks Jamo and Thanks to Ray for allowing the profiles to be used here.  Seriously appreciated especially if WNW ever do an Austro Hungarian Albie or two.
