• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines

One thing comes to mind; notice which ones are photographed on the ground. Kind of lends creedence to the adage 'if it looks like it will fly, it probably will'. Great pictures.
 
Couldn't resist posting a link to that catchy tune.

There was a great little book about the designing and flying of the aircraft in the movie. Told all about the design of the replicas and how they flew. "Making the Planes for the Magnificent Men" was the title, I think. Interesting reading.
