Webmasters Note: When I used the non-Toxic
plastic cement, it would work almost as good as the toxic glues in the red
label tube. However, after a couple of years, this type of cement
doesn't give a proper, lasting bond that the toxic cement used.
You're better off going to Wal Mart
and getting the bottle with the RED Label, it will make a difference in the
long run.

American Aces of World War I (Osprey Aircraft of the Aces
No 42) (Paperback)
by Norman Franks (Author), Harry Dempsey (Illustrator) "When World War 1 began in August
1914 and Germany invaded France and Belgium,
Book Description
American fliers arriving in Europe from September 1917 brought with them no
aircraft. Instead, US units had to obtain machines mainly from the British
and French. From early 1918 American pilots were issued with SPAD fighters
and they never looked back. As this volume details, the first American
trained pilot to become an ace was Lt Douglas Campbell, who shot down five
German aircraft by the end of May 1918. He was a member of the celebrated
94th 'Hat in the Ring' Aero Squadron, which created the bulk of American
aces in World War I.
From the Publisher
Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces series combines full color artwork, the best
archival contemporary photography, and first hand accounts from aces to
