Web ChangesI originally designed and published this web site using basically hand-written HTML, aided a bit by the HotDog editor. However, after trying out Microsoft's FrontPage 98 (I didn't much care for the earlier versions), I liked its ability to provide global and other navigation bars, plus keep up with links when they were moved or renamed. So, I have republished the whole site using FP98. This brings some new looks and some new structure, as I got tired of the "blue" look of the old site. I revamped one of the FP98 themes into my own and hope it works for all. If not, please let me know. Aviation History QuestionsI get a number of questions forwarded to me from the CAF and AAHM official web sites, plus those that come from folks who find this site. I try to answer as many as I can, but sometimes things get stacked up and it may be days or even a couple of weeks before I can reply. If you think I have forgotten you, please drop me an email again. I really don't have access to records of the history of specific aircraft or aircrews, unless they were involved in some significant action or event. I use my own personal library as a primary resource, plus a few sites on the internet. I do also have access to the AAH Museum library and the CAF maintenance library but neither has a complete catalog or index yet, so finding things may take a bit of time. If after looking over this site, you can't find an answer or think I may be of help, you can email me at avhistory@rwebs.net. Fly safe. Randy |
