| Bill Gillette Fremont, CA | I have a Spad Propeller and I'm wondering how much to ask for it. It belonged to a recently deceases friend and I have to sell it for his widow. 10/29/2007 @ 07:39 [ref: 18342] |
| Dave Tucson, AZ | I am curious about the comment regarding Oscar Monthan bringing a Spad prop back from Europe. I know he was stationed in California, Ohio and Hawaii before his death in a 1924 plane crash at Luke Field, Hawaii Territory, but have found no reference to his ever being in Europe. If he was, I would appreciate any information you may be able to provide. 02/25/2006 @ 15:31 [ref: 12619] |
| CJ Hosley Enterprise, AL | I'm in the process of listing a SPAD propeller on eBay. I've been doing some research on it and it looks like this is a very special item! It was brought back from Europe after WW1 by Lt. Oscar Monthan (Davis-Monthan Air Force Base). I also have the history of how it came into the hands of its current owner. 01/29/2005 @ 16:44 [ref: 9300] |
| Decker Lyon, OTH | Hello.
Please do not forget that SPADs were all FIGHTERS, and the firsts that equipped the U.S.Army. 09/06/2003 @ 01:58 [ref: 6678] |
