alright, now, everyone settle down and be nice to each other, before i put all of you on time outs! i believe "tykes" is an appropriate term in this case. tom, you're excluded and another pat is given on your back.

to our newcomer,
welcome to the aerodrome!

How about a combination of Capt. Bowman and 2/Lt. Rhys Davids.

I had someone ask me recently if one of W.V.'s brothers emigrated to the States after the war. Has anyone heard this before?

Mate,
Its a new one on me, for all of my research so far concludes that both brothers fell off the planet. Nothing is written after 23 Sept 1917 about either one except a brief note about Otto from Ltn. Krefft. Whatever happened to their lives, what they did after the War, and during WW2 is a mystery. (sorry spelling sucks, been up way to may hours)

Now upon further detective work and a lot of phone calls and e-mail correspondences I did find out that:
----Max Voss - Survived both the 1st and 2nd World Wars. Died on 04 Sept 1959 in München, Germany - ‘Der Oberbürgermeister Standesamt Krefeld – 2008.
---Otto Voss - Survived both the 1st and 2nd World Wars. Died on UNK - ‘Geschiedenis.NL (The Flying Huzaar)’ by Rainout Hubbers – Pg 6.

and Manfred isn't telling - Period.

Sorry to leave you all hanging, but need to keep the suspense there, till you read about it in my book. Lots of interesting answers about mum and dad Voss as well.

Well I'm off to bed.

Hi Tom,

Why thank you for bothering with my little Voss article of almost two years ago! I don´t usually get referred to by authors, so I´ll remember this one for a while!

I found that bit about Max and Otto giving interviews after the war in one of my books. I´m not sure which one and you kind of have me at a difficult time to find it: I´m leaving for France this Sunday and have lots of preparing to do. Remind me again in two weeks!

My article does contain some errors by the way, and a few things that could have been worded better. Since writing it I managed to purchase Barry Diggens´ book that had a lot of new information to me. If I read my work now I still agree with the writing style but do cringe at some easy to spot errors. Ah well, if it gets any Dutch youngster hooked on WWI aviation, I´ll live it up!

P.S.: that article really should not be on geschiedenis.nl anymore. It should only be found on Historiën - Hier wordt geschiedenis geschreven which is the successor site. Over a year ago, the URL geschiedenis.nl was lost to us when the owner decided to move the site into a new direction. Little came of it, but all the authors started anew with a different site and have requested and even demanded frequently to have our articles removed from the old site. They are our copyright of course.

Kind regards,

Reinout

Mate,
Manfred was 5 feet 6 inches tall and Werner was a bit taller say aroung 6'1 or 6'2". Purely a guess on my part (as you can see in a side by side comparison) as I have not seen anything written, giving his heigth.
NOTE: the height info courtesy of Peter Kiduff from his book ‘Red Baron: The life and Death of an Ace’

Reinout: No problem mate. When you get a chance (after vacationing in France), drop me a PM with the name of the book you got that info from. I would be most interested to peruse that info that you found.

Also have made a correction to my notes as to where your article can be found - fellow author.
