Mitch, thanks for these sets. I know of Old Rhinebeck, but these
pictures really give a sense of the place and its atmosphere. I suppose
the British equivalent is Old Warden, and no doubt there is a lot of
communication between the two. Lovely stuff.



It is odd that flying started in the US but for the
first two decades the Europeans made all the advances
in it. The US did not field a single combat plane in
WWI and had to rely on French loaners. Most of the
replicas at Rhinebeck are copies of European machines.
