Windsock Datafiles

Hello,
I don't have much luck trying to get these on e-bay, where the bidding seems to get out of hand. I hesitate to pay inflated prices for them. Is there a source where you can simply buy the datafiles you want??? TIA
Willy

My Gallery
Try this. They are sometimes a little slow (and it's only sometimes and only a little.....) but most of my Albatros Pubs. were bought through them. Use the search engine to find exactly what you are looking for.

Yes, Ross said true, try to contact Ray Rimell directly at the link. If they arte not available in USA, try also to Hannants at: www.hannants.co.uk, in UK, i know that they are a lot of second hand libraries (but I don't have adress) but I think that some british friend of this forum, would be able to give you this adress.
Generaly, Datafile are not difficult to find, Windsock magazines, yes are.
Good luck.
Philippe

Windsock Datafiles

Dear Philippe Jourdan,
Many thanks to you and everyone else for your replies. In answer to your question, I am interested in getting the data files for Nieuport 17&28, Se 5a, SPAD 13, Dr.I, Camel, and Albatros fighters.
Willy
