Here is another digitized zeppelin work you might want to acquire (full text via Google Books):

http://books.google.com/books?id=qU5LAAA...

It is not as good as the Vissering work I previously noted. You don't have this one, thus, download this to your collection.

English is my first language, Italian and Spanish are my other languages.

I am a reference librarian and I enjoy connecting people to information. My area of interest is nautical but I can appreciate someone with interests in other military areas, such as aviation.

I must also commend you on your contribution of author images.

Based on your interests, you might want to check out (and download) this classic work on zeppelins at the internet archive - http://www.archive.org/details/zeppelins...

Zeppelin; the story of a great achievement (1922)
by Harry Vissering

Lots of neat photographs, including interiors.

"Preferred Member" indeed! OK, I'll bite: How many errands do you have to run for Tim to earn this coveted status?

Join the group. I happen to a member of all three of the major political groups.

Thanks for the comment about the C. S. Lewis photo. I will check my email at work to see who I got the permission from and forward you a copy of the email. The email and name of the contact person should be enough permission. I remember it was a website that I think had something to do with the George MacDonald Society, or something like that, and the person running the website said I could use any photos on the webpage. I'll check tomorrow.

It has been clinically proven that men whose last words are not "Hey, huh, hey, watch this!" actually live just as long as woman.
Thanks for making my day. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at this.

Hi Bob

Thank You for inviting me to "Aerial Warfare". I'm quite new to this Library Thing, so i'm looking foreward to see how it works.

Forgive misspelling and bad grammar, as danish is my first language.

Best wishes - Ole

Merry X-mas and Happy 2009

Thanks for the message, but my main point of interest is aviation (flying machines etc.) from before 1918. The actual use of aircraft in fighting is not very high on my interest list.
Cheers

Thank you for your invitation to the new group.

Good to see somebody on here from western Iowa. I grew up in the Earling community. Looking at your books in common with me I think you have a lot of good stuff.

Thanks for invite to join group. I am retired now but used to manage a library for the Royal Australian Navy and have had a great interest in submarines - my submarine books are non fiction.

No, I got it from the Alabama Book Festival web site. Someone on the staff of the Alabama Center for the Book took the photo.

Hi Bob,
OK. I'm not a Lawrence expert, more interested in the WW1 'Sideshow' aspects of the story, but I understand that Revolt in the Desert was a general release version of Seven Pillars. Though how they differ I cannot say. I have Revolt but not Seven Pillars, and don't see the need for both. Though I'd love to get a copy of the illustrated Seven Pillars - well, when I win the lottery, maybe!
Quill's Spitfire is a good basic story of test flying in WW2. I think the Henshaw's Sigh for a Merlin is better, he was a much better writer than Quill. Sadly both passed on over the last few years.
Good hunting, Ian

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the recommendation of Zero! I do have it just not completed entering my library yet - takes time.
You might want to scout out thrift stores, etc for 'Eagles of Mitsubishi' by Jori Horikoshi the Zero's designer. Very interesting read.

Hi Bob! Thanks for connecting with me. I can't help but make a comment about your avatar. Would James Bond (from your favorite author Ian Fleming) allow Bin Laden to be roaming around the earth after seven years?

Thanks for the help with the image for the Bibliophiles of Oklahoma! I tried all kinds of combinations of info and credit, etc. Very frustrating! Even the simple "Public Domain", which it is...

Bob,

I loved Stolen Season; it and Minor Heroes are my favorite baseball travel books.

Yes, Wikipedia does use their model for image use; however, like LibraryThing, their images are user-uploaded. And while they try to verify that all images follow the model, some pictures on Wikipedia don't follow their guidelines. For example, the picture you mention doesn't pass item #2 of the Wikipedia minimal requirements. While the uploader says that the picture was published pre-1918, he doesn't say where he got the picture (e.g., was the source website copyrighted?) and he gives no link for his statement that the picture has an expired copyright to be verified.

I hope that answers you question. :) If you have any more, don't hesitate to ask me--I'll do my best to answer.
