Donīt know if Bill will be at Oshkosh 2007, but you can give oit a try. His replicas are true to the las bolt and nut. Simply amazing. You could aldo try EAA (experimental Aircraft Association) own publication, "Sport Aviation", they got records of past articles published in their magazine. Go to their web page, where you could find and article on Bill Turner (no relation with Roscoe Turner), I have read them, but donīt remenber the date, try the mid 90īs, you pay EAA something like a $5 fee for the articles photocopy.

Anyhow, there are certainlly many other "replicators" in the market today, so you wonīt have trouble finding one. Repeat Aircraft is one of the best.

The people at the Rhinebeck aerodrome in upstate Newyork is another place you could look after replicas from WWI.

regards.

This is exactly (repeat aircraft) the kind of stuff I'm looking for... yes, I'm well aware of Rhinebeck, but I'm looking more for the folks who make this hobby happen.

Thanks!!!
