Farman

Dear LVCDC, if you don't mind we group all the Farman brothers production under the same name. Difference between Henri Farman and Maurice Farman are given by the type HF.xx / MF.xx. This way of designation is used by many litterature.
By the way, I've a problem with the HF.11 mentionned here, I don't find it matching with. Comment? Sixcyl 20:25, 12 December 2013 (MST)

Why not merging all Farman brothers under the same company ? This will help to avoid the debate between Henry or Henri !

About the HF.11, I'm not sure as a front view is not the easier way to identify lots of these antics. Why not a Sommer R-3 ? But sure, it's not a Caudron G.III as you've post elsewhere. Advices are still welcome. LVCDC 07:30, 13 December 2013 (MST)

Agreed. I suggest to let it as unknown for the moment.Sixcyl 13:46, 13 December 2013 (MST)

Found it. A MF.7 very likely.Sixcyl 14:46, 13 December 2013 (MST)

Progress

End of DVD03 reached. I know that the four pictures of the Bereznyak-Isayev BI-1 are not yet uploaded but I need time to find a precise story of this plane to sort the different variant. LVCDC 10:36, 6 January 2014 (MST)

With the end of DVD04, a logical step is reached. Due to the massive data to add and probably the limitation of most of browser and computer, next volumes will be probably put on a complementary page. Or perhaps two ? LVCDC 15:29, 9 February 2014 (MST)

Classification of the page

Hello dear LVCDC! This page Wings Of Russia is actually an interesting contribution for the site.
But with 437 aircraft page at this time ( 13:54, 16 December 2014 (MST)) It's difficult to find out your new contributions on the page already built (very long)...Don't you think it would be better to make a classification by alphabetic order or find a clear classification? Sixcyl 13:54, 16 December 2014 (MST)

The alphabetic order is given by categories at the bottom. Otherwise, I try to follow the stream of the series, not always easy with so many aircraft. But it's the only way to check if I missed one (and it was the fact with this 6th episode). Each episode needs two or three days of uploads and checks (of the type/subtypes seen) by lack of time. I try an episode by week. I will probably split the page into three parts to avoid a too heavy webpage. I wait a little in order to split it into three equal parts... because I don't know exactly how many types the whole serie covers. From an episode to another one, the number varies from 75 to 160 each (for a duration of 50 minutes) ! LVCDC 15:35, 16 December 2014 (MST)

Ok, I believe it's a hudge work, your point of view is fully respectable, and I agree also keep in mind the chronology. But I'm sorry, I can't see the logic of the order in the list.... why wouldn't you share by DVD numbers... and why not going on a mix between historical chronology and alphabetic order in each sections...it meens WWI aircraft by alphapetic order before 1930"s, themself before 1940's .... etc ....

Boeing 707

Help!
Which picture number refers to the Boeing 707? Sixcyl 11:20, 28 December 2014 (MST)

Not yet ... but coming "soon" with DVD09. My mistake, sorry ! LVCDC 12:54, 28 December 2014 (MST)
