http://WW1modeller.co.nz This site has 5 pages each devoted to WW1 tanks & trucks, with each section having 25+ W/As. One is for the Rolls-Royce armored car which Roden released. There are also a large selection of You-tube videos on WW1 battles that are extremely good, & a large group of period pictures Of tanks, planes & ships. Carl T

Over the weekend while looking for more information on the Gotha G5, I came across the following site. All you need to do is do a google search & type in flyingmachines.ru, & nothing else. On the page that comes up you will find "translate this page", click on this. The site is Russian & that will bring the next page up in English. On the page that comes up; along the left side you will see several options for ways to find the pictures, by country, manufacturer, date & so on. Make your choice & click on the one you have chosen. That will bring up a list of aircraft types listed alphabetically. Click on any one that you want to. This will bring up both text & pictures of the plane that you are looking for, This is a humongous site with over 17,000 pictures ranging in a time frame from 1909 to 1919. Some obscure planes only have from 1 to 3 pictures. Most have more, the most well known have up to 20. Some have color side profiles or plans, some even have a few pages of detail parts drawings from the British magazine of the time called Flight. You can also print out any of these by clicking on the thumbnail picture & enlarging the picture. Some of the pictures print out to 81/2 X11inches, but not all of them. If the text on the plane that you want to look at is in Russian, scroll down to the bottom of that text, & there may be some light blue strips with the name of a book by an British author, click on that & it should bring up an English translation of the text. I have spent over 10 hours so far looking over the site, & expect to be visiting there many more times. Carl T
