Very nice link thanks.

Superb find. The cataloguing of the ordinary is rare, and it helps enormously to create the detail necessary to create the right period feel. Excellent stuff Arg.

After reading Edwin Hoyt's book about the capture of Tsingtao Gunter Pluschow became one of my heroes. He flew a Taube on reconnaissance during the battle.
His autobiography is published in English- "Escape from England" by Günther Plüschow (Published by Ripping Yarns). It reads like a real ripping yarn, as you say he set off for Germany on foot, travelled through Japan, USA, got captured in Gibraltar, escaped from a British POW camp, hid in wartime London, then stowed away on a boat to Holland. When he arrived back in Germany, they arrested him as a spy at first... Should be a movie!
Cheers

Careful former user, they're not all WW1 era and some are a bit mis-captioned... great pics though!
Cheers

the game I would have needed it for wasn't WW1 either, it was around 1900

Glad you are enjoying recycling old posts. I just did the same with the long running 'Latest book recieved' thread. Man, I will never be at a loss for what to read next now.

I am sure you'll find Plynkes battle reports a special treat.

Or more likely tearing his hair out at uniform errors, my on again/off again romance with historical fact, and the imaginary countries I set some of my games in. :)

No, I'm loving it all. The fantasy side really appeals to me too. I love the What If aspects. Did you know at one point the Germans had planned to recruit Chinese to fight their colonial wars in Africa? Wouldn't that be a great fantasy army? Let me know if anyone wants more information on that short lived idea...
The problem comes when people can't tell fact from fiction, you guys can clearly separate the two!
