I just had to have one on my Midget vintage racer, just because they are
so cool. Particularly when I went to the San Diego Aerospace museum and
saw that they were used on WWI fighter planes! Zoom!
BTW, I'm planning on going to Watkins Glen for the SVRA races in
September. Look for the red No. 57 Midget with the RAF roundels! Over
3200 miles roundtrip from Houston, but I just gotta do it!
