You gentlemen at more than simple model builders you are artists
I am inspired by your work. As for the Spanish Civil War, it was used as a dress rehearsal for the Luftwaffe. The German pilots gained valuable experience during that war. After president, Jimmy Carter pushed "the freedom of information act" through,"the UFO community was hoping for a treasure trove of information". Of course, I don't know much about UFOs. I became interested in the UFO thing back in the 5th grade
but by the end of my 7th-grade year, I lost interest in UFOs for the most part.
Of course from time to time I do read about some of the things folks take snapshots of can not be easily explained,
but I have become too cynical over the years to take too much notice of such things.
One thing that did come out of "the freedom of information act" was a lot of information about the 1930s' , it seems that the 1930s' was a time of great intrigue. There was a lot of spy vs spy and cloke and dagger stuff going on at the time. During a time of my life, I became a bookworm.
The ladies at the library where I spent about two hours every two weeks were real good about getting books through the North Carolina library internal loan system. One of them in imparticular took an intrust in my curiosity about everything.
This was a time before the age of personal computers and the internet. Anyway, she got me interested in the 1930s' and all of the things that happened during that time in history. Up until then the only things I knew about the 30s' came to me from my mother and uncles. The reasons the cloak and dagger things that happened during that time went unnoticed was because most folks at that time were more concerned about the more basic things of life. Like food, clothing, and shelter. I can recall hearing my mother and uncles talking about how nobody had any money and if they did there was nothing to buy. We're lucky that the Guillows company survived those troubled times. There was one of those books I read back then about the Luftwaffe and how the German aviation industry got around the restrictions of "The Treaty of Versailles" that Germany was forced to sign after the First World War. I can also recall reading that some of the people at the time called WWI "The Great War" and it was said it would be the war that ended all wars. In that book, they included a photograph of the Focke-Wulf Fw. 200 Condor. It first flew in 1937 and was a very modern design for its time. Yep, The 1930's were a time of great struggles for my parent's generation, but it was also a time of much intrigue. Well, Model on Dudes
It's the greatest hobby of all
