Since my childhood,
I have been fascinated by airplanes and
flying machines of all kinds(UFO´s
etc.), to some degree. But I do have a
very special affection for those built
around the second WorldWar, and I plan
many more pictures as soon as I can find
or build better models than the ones I
have found free so far on the Net. I
simply can´t afford to buy any of the
real high-quality ones I have seen ......
So why are those Spifires, Mustangs,
Tempests&Fw190 so special then? Well,
the only thing that I have thought of
that makes sense, is that during this
period the aircraft came as close as they
ever have to actually resemble birds of
some kind...they almost became organic,
like an extension of man. And as such, a
very potent trigger of our dreams(or
memories?)of having the ability to fly, I
would think.
