Thesite now features a large section on World War One aviators andaircraft. The inter-war period, the so-called 'Golden Age of Aviation,'when fliers like Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart captured theworld's imagination, is covered. For that period, I have somefascinating material from my Dad (when he was a young aviationenthusiast) - the Hall of Fame of the Air cartoon feature, as well assome aircraft photos he took. Within the topic of World War two aviation, there are some articles on Germanaces and fighter planes, as well as American bombers.
