Besides studying WWI Aviation, I happen to collect many artifacts from that era, more specificaly-postcards & photos with the occasional uniform thrown in there for good measure. I wish you the best of luck in your endevor. Watch out! It's quite addicting!
Great photo by the way  -Chuck Let me add that if you need a source for your archival supplies, please feel free to send me a PM.

Very nice collection so far, I have been collecting WW1 and WW2 items for a few years now, So far My WW1 Items stand at a model 16 Stahlhelm, a Gew 88, a 1917 Luger, and a DHG "Gold for Iron" Ring, small start but with time and money I will slowly expand my WW1 collection, My dream is to Build one of the Airdrome Aeroplanes Fokker DVII's, but i got to get out of college and get a good Job first

I guess that's why my wife doesn't give me too much grief when I'm down in the war room for an extended tour. She said more or less the same thing "I'd rather have you do that, than wasting it on liquor"  And I'd say to that (under my breath) "Why not enjoy a good reference book over a pint 'o Guiness". So, needless to say I don't drink. But I did learn to roast my own coffee...

Hey, just because a Barnes and Nobles isn't listed as a crack house, some would argue in my family it, any used bookstore for that matter, should be.
Willi - it will ensure that you have a great understanding of history, research, and some remarkable stories to share with anyone interested. If they are not, then at least make sure they can tolerate your infatuation... ;-) I just got a group of great images of 1920s/1930s airships for presents. So, you can even convince your family to fuel the addiction. ;-) |

Collecting great war memorabilia is not a bad addiction to have all all, it's just tough on the pocket book
 The nice thing about collecting photos and postcards is that they can still be found at a fair price. |

I start collecting imperial german aviation years ago, when the prices rise in unimagined dimensions and still been there. Especially pictures get vary expensive. Maybe the financial crisis push the prices a little bit down, but it seems it doesn't.
Goog luck Alex
