The Spring 2016 edition of Windsock World War Centenary is the first edition of Volume 32. This edition’s cover story features an enlarged version of Ronny Barr’s Albatros B.II 675/15 side profile.

The Wingnut Wings Albatros B.II is covered in the Kit Reviews section along with period photos from the Harry Woodman collection. The third in a series by the late Harry Woodman focuses on an unpublished update to his rare Scale Model Aircraft in Plastic Card that is a must have. This feature provides updates to the original and is supplemented with plenty of archival material and color photos.

David Byers provides color and period photos of the Roold Helmet, an early safety helmet used from 1912 and throughout the war by aviators on both sides. The color feature by arvo@arvoart.com is the 16^th part of the Great War Paint and depicts fourteen aircraft, highlighted by the Finnish Caudron G.3s on floats. My interest was piqued by the reviews of the two new Merit 1/24 kits of the Fokker Dr.I and the RAF SE5a, perfect for a diorama with early automobiles. Of course all the usual suspects also are here with reviews of on-topic books, journals, kits, and last, but not least, figures

This publication is highly recommended to WWI aircraft model builders and those with an interest in WWI aviation history. The publication contains excellent color images of real aircraft and advertisements that provide one with the compass to find aftermarket goodies.
