   I know this isn't what you wanted to know, Tex, but 20 or 25 years   
   ago, there was a hangar that had been used by the 94th Aero Squadron   
   in France in 1918 (so I was told); in it were a Sopwith Camel, a Spad,   
   a Fokker D VII, a Thomas Morse Scout, and a couple other WW I types.   
      
   Years later , when I went looking for it, I was told they had all been   
   sold and taken away.  I fuzzily seem to recall they had belonged to   
   old man Lunken and were sold when he died.   
      
   Perhaps someone else can add to or correct this.
