"I've been fascinated with WWI aircraft for just about as long as I can remember.  I know I bought a book on the subject, and poured over it for years, when I was in the fifth grade.  They have a calm grace to them that the later warbirds lack.  One can only imagine the sort of guts it took to do a loop in one of these early aircraft.

Jim Plucinsky -  Bloomingdale, New Jersey - USA
"As far as I can remember WW1 had always held a certain interest in my life. Just the sight of these beautifully crafted machines taken to the air and thought of how the pilots flew them into combat by their wits and the seat of their pants makes it rewarding to recreate a scaled version of one".

"WW1 models have a lot of charm, and I really enjoy working with wood.  It's very fulfilling to bring an old design to life, even though it's in miniature form."

         Daniel (von Hammer) Brett - Georgetown, Texas - USA
 "I have always been fascinated since I was very little with old planes. I love the fabric and wood, all the bracing wire and drag, the challenging flight characteristics, the crowd appeal, the history, and the pilots. They just have such classic lines and are probably more enjoyable to build than to fly sometimes. They present such a challenge in modeling." 

AMA# 39853
 32 years Flying RC and WW1 ("Holy cow! - now that you make me think about it")

Daniel is also the new owner of Williams Brothers Model Products.
