         World War 1 Aviation   -  Information relating to the early days of combat aviation that interests me.

Purpose of my Website     My purpose is to provide information that I find interesting and important while conserving web space and trying to avoid duplication of basic material.  I try to make my site attractive to both the beginner and the advanced history student, as well as keeping the site simple and easy navigate.  I could easily list dozens of eternal links to other related web sites.  However, I choose not to do this because it becomes a headache to keep these up to date and correct.  As noted above, I try to indicate every place I have added an external link.    Also I try everything I can to avoid advertisements filling up your screen. My webpage will not have extra pop-up windows nor any advertisements.  I may add links to commericial sites and veteran associations but only if they relate to my topic.  For example, I have found two websites that provide guided tours of the battlefields in Italy.    The information I post on my website is what I find informative to me. I add information as it becomes available and if I think it ties in with the purpose of my site.  I avoid some items if it is already a topic that well covered in other sites.  Therefore, I don't have much info on the battles for Cassino.    I have many references to other websites and material for topics not covered or not linked in my site.  If you need links to websites on a related subject, then email me and I will see what I can do to assist you.  Since many of my Reference Books, both on WW2 Italian Campaign and WW1 Aviation, are not available in the average library, email me if you need specific info from one of these books.  I receive about 3 or 4 emails a month from someone who knew a dad or uncle who served in Italy, including readers from Europe.  I usually include an attached text or image file with my reply. Enyoy your visit. Steve Cole                                                       Personal Info about me
