Taz,
Thanks for taking a look. I to got admit that the damage along the dantum line looks similar
to me between the two aircraft and it is a heck of a coincidence that the only two Dr1s I have seen with that damage have completely overpainted fuselages and upper surfaces.
You mentioned a higher quality scan of this picture from UTD, How does one go about getting these? I contacted UTD's Dr. Carlson awhile back asking the procedures for purchasing scans of a few aircraft (basicly MvR's planes on this thread) and he sent me a link on the procedures on doing it and I basicly understood one had to be there in person. If I am incorrect could you please inform me on who to contact?
Thanks,
CWatson
