There I was out on the tarmac with snow shovel in hand clearing a path in the middle of a snow storm that had aleady dropped 8 inches. When the postman drove up in his halftrack. He and one of the all girl ground crew unloaded a crate in the Aeroscale Hangar #1.

Our Good Merlin had sent the newest releases from Gavia and Eduard. The Albatros D. I

& D.II for review.

Looks like the Albatros D.I just jumped off the shelf into my hands.

"Neither Rain, nor snow, nor glom of nit..."

Sorry, just another missplaced quote that came to mind. (A prize (imaginary) for anyone who can tell me where this quote came from)

Cheers,
