Your work is an inspiration to me, and I hope to become as good at this as you are, one day. But it'll take a LOT of work, and patience

Your details are excellent, and really bring the picture to life. Well Done!

Thanks - I'll keep going :-D

Forgot to say, you said "fella" earlier, I'm actually a lady - but don't worry, if I had £1 for every person that has mistaken me for a man on DA, I'd be a millionaire
A lot of people don't think that ladies can be so nerdy about old war planes

No problem
I actually fly, too, but not solo. I love doing the old WW1 dogfighting moves, such as the Immelmann Turn.
Do you have a favourite pilot? Voss was admirable, but Mannock was THE BEST of all of them, by far.

Yes, he was good, BUT:-

a) he was often asleep when the rest of his Flight were getting up in the morning to fly (hence why he was still wearing his red silk pyjamas when he was shot down).

b) he often flew up above dog-fights, picking off the vulnerable as they tried to escape.

But then, they were all good in their own way. It was almost a lottery as to who survived and who didn't.
Shame that the German government gave Manfred so much (unwanted) publicity. Mannock was only known as "Captain X" in the British newspapers at that time.
