..how about checking in some reliable vocabulary?
Alex
I’ve seen it live with Ben (texantomcat) when we went there, some chaps were workin on it..
Alex
awright let’s give it a cut fellas, I was right, u were wrong, period :D;)
Now were’s my “jumpseat award”? :D:D:D
Alex
I’d better start planning a visit to russia with a caterpillar and a queen elizabeth, anybody wanna join the expedition?? :D:D:D
Seems like the environement of these frozen lakes is the perfect place to preserve planes.. these waters are poor with oxygen, are hell cold (and this keeps souvenir hunters off too..) and there are a lot of planes like this scattered around russia for sure.. I wish somebody picked up a Bf109, a FW190 or other rare warbirds in the same conditions of the Hurri we saw in these days.. Ironically the Hurri and P-39 are not that rare..
Alex
I dont see the difficulties in doing the Albatros actually, u need a good level of wood working capabilities, but u would surely obtain a superb and unique warbird replica!
Alex
is it for real???
lol after pal, after 😀
I wonder what happened with the FW..
Alex
I guess they’re the same chaps that appear in the “other magazine” with the incredible Hurricane recovery uh?
Alex
I think it’s just a common belief, but untrue. Expecially in ww1 the fighter pilots wanted to distinguish, and since the various armed forces uniforms were pretty similar they tried to look different, as in every other country.
Alex
these two recoveries are impressive!!

the hurricane pilot body recover might not be for the faint hearted ppl, but the way the body preserved is impressive!!!

edit:
Kissenberth wasnt the only ace with glasses, there was even Walter Kypke, who ended the war with 9 victories.

I think it was something about the look, u know like the RAF pilots having the uniform button unbuttoned or the USAAF pilots wearing their hats inclined on one side. THe Albatros V was better than the III and had less troubles with the wing spar breaking. What ppl usually dont know is that Manfred Von Richtofen had most of his kills made with the Albatros, not the Fokker Dr.I.
Alex
U guys know this pilot?
he’s Otto Kissenberth, the one and only ace with glasses!!
He flew an all black Albatross with a huge edelwiess on both sides, really elegant!!

u can find more info about this pilot here
