As a collector of WWI avaiation, my list is a long one. I'm always hunting for anything related to great war aviation, but the items below are my true desires.

1. RNAS Tunic & Cap - These are impossible to find! Not that RFC tunics are a lot easier, but I have managed to gather a few of those but keep striking out on the naval side. I've tracked one down however and I have my fingers crossed that I will be able to land it before Christmas.

2. German pilots uniform - Once again another tough to find item. I've come across only two in in nearly a decade but both were in rather poor shape and I decided to wait to find the "right" one.

3. Log book from an ace - yeah, good luck on that one eh?

4. Along the same lines : A tunic belonging to an ace. - I do have a 1920's tunic that was worn by an ace, but I would love to find a wartime maternity or service jacket.

5. Propeller - I see these on a regular basis in Europe but the shipping will cost more than the prop itself.

6. Personal items of Billy Bishop - Sure.. maybe he lied about his score but as a young boy reading Winged Warfare is what started my lifelong obsession with Military history.
