| Steve Curtis Melbourne Victroia, OTH | Hi,
I grew up kowing that my great grandfather was a mechanic who worked and flew for the Farman brothers prior to the first war and subsequently. I have very little detail of his exploits, and while my mother has a few photographs, we are at a loss to track any more information on him or what his role actually was day to day.. His full name was Alphonse Marie Derome and his family lived close to one of the Airfields where the Farman company operated. My grandmother, who has since pased away in 1996, was able to tell us that as a child she could often hear and see Alphonse test flying the Farman's and he would fly over the house to show off as they lived close by. If you have any other information on Alphonse, it would be very gratifying to know about it. Thank you and kind regards, Steve Curtis Australia 09/25/2005 @ 02:16 [ref: 11330] |
| Ronald D. Bridges Montgomery, AL | My Granduncle Billy Glenn Rushing lost his life, June 15, 1918, when flyin a Farman type of French design, which was later condemned for war use. I am trying to find a picture of this Farman type of French design plane used during the time he died. It was while on an assignment as ferry pilot, out of Tours, France, guarding off German planes to protect transport ships bringing soldiers and munitions of war into France, that Billy Glenn Rushing lost his life, June 15, 1918. 06/18/2001 @ 14:35 [ref: 2474] |
