• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

In case anyone wonders about the value of the OFF series and the marvelous work that's been done, I have found it has value even beyond the computer screen. I've read many books over the years on WWI aviation and pilots, so the names of many of the towns, villages and aerodromes were familiar to me. That added to the excitement of OFF of actually seeing them, flying over them and/or being based at them.

But, reading those books I rarely new where they were in relation to the front and each other as the books rarely included maps of any detail. I've begun reading Sholto Douglas' book Combat and Command and ah he mentions places along the front, I know exactly where he's talking about. Thanks to OFF.

The gift that keeps on giving :ernae:
