Bob_D Scout Pilot Join Date: Nov 2001 Posts: 336	Greetings all! Could anyone confirm which (or if any) of Frank Luke's balloon victories involved the "AE" (Caquot) type (vs. the Parseval/Drachen). I am currently constructing a diorama depicting one of his balloon downings and would like to connect it to a specific combat mission. Specifically, my project incorporates an AE type igniting fairly close to the ground (1/72 scale requires a diorama height of approximately of 1' per 100'/altitude, definitely a limiting factor! ). Thank you for any help that you can offer. Regards, Bob D. __________________ "Elijah was reputed to be the patron saint of aviators, but as he went to Heaven in a chariot of fire, this was something we weren't too keen about.
