Regulus 1 Posted 10 September , 2012 Share Posted 10 September , 2012 Nigel, Thanks for sharing this one ! Just busy writing about Boelcke and others who were the first fighter pilots in the german air service in 1915-1916. This is one of the stories I'm mentioning, what a coincidence, but well, I always say that coincidences don't exist. Best from Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppRaider Posted 27 September , 2012 Share Posted 27 September , 2012 The auction was today. I followed it via the-saleroom.com. The hammer price was £4,600 - well over the estimate. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
