Looks like a Spad XIII to me. That IS a great picture! Do you have more?

I'm sorry, I just don't know for sure what plane it is. My best guess would be some kind of a Sopwith maybe. He was in the 94th Aero Squadron, so it would have to be something that they flew from time to time. There are some more pics, including Roosevelt's temporary grave behind enemy lines at this link:

It could be a Spad XIII, in fact, I think you are right it's not a VII but an XIII. I know that we were using those by the end of the war. I should have known that but I was thinking that the famous XIIIs were more angular.
Go to the link at post #82 for more pictures. I will try to get more scanned and on the net soon.

Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin
A careful study of Rasputin and the Czar's Russia is also helpful in understanding the winds of war. That was one very interesting time in world history. I recommend The Life and Times of Grigorii Rasputin by Alex DeJong. There are many other good ones as well.

I'm facinated by the Browning because it's a known firearm that was in a particular place in time. We know for sure exactly where it was almost a hundred years ago. AND IT SURVIVED ALL THOSE YEARS.
If you think it's evil or has some sort of power over you that it must be destroyed, I can't argue with that. You know yourself better than I do.
I wish I knew the history of the firearms I own. One piece I used to own was a rarity of a rarity from the Civil War.

Inanimate objects are neither good nor bad. Are books "inanimate"?

I was through posting to you until this little gem caught my attention.
This PARTICULAR gun is notorious for murdering people.
Seek help.

By the way, what is the statute of limitations on war souvenirs?
If it is full-auto, and it wasn't registered in the 1968 amnesty, it's 10 years in jail, I'm sorry to report.

I just checked my hard drive and I do have some that I don't think have been posted anywhere yet. Freepmail me with your email and I will send you some, if you would like.

I think it was Göring that said: "When I hear the word, culture, I reach for my revolver."

Otto von Bismarck's comment about the nature of the region in question is germane: "another (delete expletive here) thing in the Balkans." Imagine a place where people name a bridge after an assaassin.

I guess I'm glad this flintlock isn't even semi-auto.

By those definitions, a book would appear inanimate; nonetheless, I would posit that it is possible for books to possess moral character (good or evil) in and of themselves. While it may be possible to use an evil book for good purposes or a good book for evil purposes, I would posit that does not prevent some books from being inherently good and others inherently evil.

A careful study of Rasputin and the Czar's Russia is also helpful in understanding the winds of war. That was one very interesting time in world history. I recommend The Life and Times of Grigorii Rasputin by Alex DeJong. There are many other good ones as well. I learned in school that it was the assassination which started the war, but aside from a vague explanation that nations started lining up behind their allies and then everyone fought, I never quite understood how one lead to the other. Do you know of a good book which explains this well?
