| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 104 Pfalz DIII | Parked | 17-Feb-17 20:13 |  | | Views : 405 | | Pic of my 16" Pfalz D3 with an eight page composite background picture, that was then scotch taped together, on a 20" X 30" white foam display board, of a large 5,500 X 3,500 pixel file pic, of clouds and sky, converted free on the web, http://www.pdfonline.com/convert-jpg-to-pdf/ (very simple and fast), from a jpeg file to a pdf file, then opened the converted pdf file in Adobe Acrobat reader, and printed in "poster", 41 %, with 0.030" overlap of the pages - printed all eight pages - then all taped together after trimming.

| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 104 Pfalz DIII | Parked | 12-Jan-17 15:53 |  | | Views : 429 | | In WW1 April 21, 1918, his guns were jammed, after trying to attack the Red Baron's cousin, in the middle of a dogfight, and he quickly dived out, but was chased by the Red Baron, who was trying to make May become his 81st kill.

Here is a brief 5 minute animated short fim of this evocative acount. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53rRaeTMB_Y The Baron did not crash, but actually landed hi Tripe intact, while mortally shot, behind enemy lines, and then died.
