BTW Drew, did you know that your namesake, probably America's greatest ace ever IMHO, spoke with a pronounced French accent? Go figure (I'm also planning on relating long passages about Luf from Gordon's book THE LAFAYETTE FLYING CORPS).

Yes, as I understand it, Luf was born in France to a French mother and an American father, so it's not surprising that he had a thick French accent. In fact, I don't think he became an American citizen until his late teens or early twenties. I'll have to check out the book you mentioned -- I'm hungry for more info on Lufbery.

If you fellows have no scruples about it, I'd be most happy to send you copies of the games KNIGHTS OF THE AIR (on 3.5 diskette) and Sierra's RED BARON (the original, on CD); and you know, you just KNOW, that as I insert each and every CD into my burner, there I'll be,  high in the empty blue, shouting (above the "roar" of the drive), "I'm the gun! I'M THE GUN!"
[I'm probably also certifiable; just provide me with mailing addresses, okay?]

You just may be certifiable.
Anyway, I've got the original Red Baron. What's Knights of the Air like? I still play Red Baron 3D with some regularity.
