I like to watch. Also, most of my pilot's don't last long enough to write about! You could do a 1915 campaign! Mostly the only thing you have to worry about are mechanical failures until the eindeckers show up (assuming you are playing British or French). Ha ha, I'll probably be with you in 1917 or even perhaps 1916...instead of these longer, fleshed-out bios, I'll be making something like: Joe Smith, London, England, was in Army, transferred to RFC, died on second mission, NEX-X-T! Stories and pics are great! Keep it up gentlemen Regards, Jeff

Stljeffbb, this campaign did actually start in 1915. We are running this as a Centenary celebration, so today, is 8/15/2017 so you fly the mission for 8/15/1917. The Intrepid group is doing the same thing but is about 6 months behind. You really should join us, it's a lot of fun. Yes, I'd be happy to! Let me look at the rules and I will submit a pilot... Regards, Jeff

Eeeek! Carrick, you better transfer to the "other" hospital. Hands off Käte! Yes, I'd be happy to!

Jeff Finally Jeff! Welcome to the "Stay Away from Käte Challenge". BTW, hands off Käte!

CaptSopwith, welcome aboard! Banjoman is the rule master. Hel'll be able to help you with your question. But he's not picky, so you should be fine. And as always, hands off Käte! Ok, I'll stop now.

Fullofit, I'm afraid Aldi has lost his edge. You will need to be especially careful with him from now on since he is so preoccupied. Banjoman, you think a few more days in the hospital might help?

Antön Otersdorf From Bartenstein, East Prussia, Germany Born 14 May, 1894 Upper middle class upbringing, one of eleven surviving children (Jöhann, Lüdwig, Leöpöld, Jöseph, Clära, Geörg, Antön, Käte, Annä, Kärl, and Genüg). Fairly successful family farm including Schwaike horse breeding, and many times over the years the Otersdorf family sent their mares to help create the famed Trakehner breed. Antön grew up around horses, so it was a logical fit for him to join cavalry 10th Dragoons (East Prussian) Regiment "King Albert of Saxony" (Writer's Note: looking a bit like this guy right here). During the war, this regiment was assigned to the 37th division. Eventually, a horse shortage ensued, and Otersdorf's regiment became Schützen, that is, dismounted and becoming light infantry. Otersdorf grew tired of this (as this was quite the departure from his previous training) and decided to attempt a transfer to a flying unit. He had always been fascinated by aeroplanes, managing to see some of the early German pioneers like Hermann Reichelt and others. So, he acquired air training and seemed to have natural talent (cavalry men were often considered good candidates for flying). Since his cavalry unit had transferred to the Western Front, he was fairly familiar with the situation there and his superiors choose for him to stay. Jasta 32 has been a bit beat up lately, and it was decided that he would be placed there at the rank of Offizerstellverter flying an Albatros DII machine. ------ A new saga begins! Regards, Jeff

Raine; You are having a time of it, aren't you. I know you do considerable research before starting a pilot and that has got to be disheartening. I commend your continued efforts and look forward to a pilot with a long career and many good yarns!
Jeff; Welcome to the fray and you too are an excellent purveyor of choice yarns!
CaptSopwith; Welcome to the fray sir, it has been some time since I have seen you active! Looking forward to your contributions! Cheers mate!
Fullofit; I fear Aldi is now just a basket of jelly! What a woman can do to a stout lad!
MFair; Belated congrats to Edgar on his new Bling!
Banjoman, Carrick and Fullofit; Great pics and stories fellas!
Albert Earl Godfrey has not been too active as of late due to my RL commitments, but I always manage to find time to read these fabulous reports. Hope there are some new ones for my morning coffee tomorrow!

I second everything that Robert just said!
Well done, everyone!
