Sincerely yours, Pavel

Beerdreinker,

Those are the only sites that i know where you can read a free memoire. However, this link may be interesting to you if you haven't already read it.

Hello Pavel,

As Jonathan said, I'm sure you found all the good ones.

There may be something here; not aces but pilots => http://www.geocities.com/ww1fighters/ under features. All short bios it seems, all American flyers. Just glanced at it.

A rare fictional item I found. An original wwi flyer short story. A time-honoured tale well told.
The Bloody Scarf — by Brian E. Mathieson http://www.geocities.com/vasco_62/bscarf.html

I have bookmarks to some good online (book exerpt) Zeppelin raid type stories. I'll post if I can find them.

VBR
Rod
