Things my father would have liked.

My father liked World War I aircraft, so I thought of him when I saw these in the collection at the Air and Space Museum. He built scale models, some of which I have, perhaps of some of the aircraft pictured here.

Halberstadt CL IV

The Halberstadt CLIV and the SPAD.
Dad worked at Lockheed in Burbank for essentially his entire working life. I think he worked on the Constellation, known by its triple rudder tail, visible behind the Concorde.
