The upcoming DFW chapter meeting of the League of WWI Aviation Historians will be held Saturday, March 14, 2015 starting at 9:30 a.m. Note this is week earlier than our formulated meeting time, due to numerous schedule conflicts. This alternate date was selected based upon responses to the online survey via Survey monkey sent to all members of this email list.
The venue will be the Frontiers of Flight Museum, in Dallas TX, next to Love Field airport. (see map and directions at end of this email ) . Thanks to Neil Teitelman we are able to start our meeting before the museum is open to the public. We must vacate the room at 12:30 sharp as there s another group using the room immediately after us..
Prior to 10am, access is available through the north end of the building which is the loading idock/entrance.
- After you enter the Museum parking lot
- take an immediate right and
- then go about half way down that side of the building and they will see an entrance with a chain link fence. It’s really easy to find.
Did you get something special for Christmas concerning WWI aviation? Please feel free to bring and share your new books, ephemera, collectibles, etc with like minded affecionados.
I believe there may be some insights offered into the researching of aircraft markings and /or modeling tips proffered by the expert modelers in our group. (Jr. Boye and/or Don Gatewood)
Gregory Rydquist will make a presentation on the state of the aerial forces from the start of the war to the end of 1914 and towards (if not up to) the start of the Fokker Scourge in 1915.. This will compare and contrast the aircraft types and uses of and by the belligerents and their capabilities.during the early stages of the war.
Additionally the highlight of the meeting promises to be League member France McCoy’s presentation of his translation of some letters by Lt. Jean Chaput, decorated 16 victory French ace.
