I'm not normally a WWI enthusiast - but saw the movie "Flyboys" a little while back and has raised my interest in WWI aircraft.

Is there a good encyclopedia type reference avaialbe on WWI aircraft from all of the different nations involved? Including Fighters, Bombers, Scouts, etc.?

I would like something that gives 3 view as well as color profiles if there is one. Something like "Combat Aircraft for World War 2" by Bill Gunston.

Thanks

Chris Neel

Greetings Cneel;

The Windsock datafiles are your best bet. I'll post the URL after I look it up.
