May: Mark VIII

Afficionados are going to buy this
They're going to notice that you've got the Mk VIII before the Mk IX..

After that, it'll only be a matter of time, they'll find out where you live...

Click to expand...

the mark VIII is the mark 8 (5+1+1+1) while the mark IX is the mark 9 (10-1)

My roman numerals dont stretch to XIX i think it must be a 19 (10 plus 10 minus 1)


what have the romans done for us? screwed up any understanding of numbers for a start
 
OK, I have received a better idea and will be implementing it tomorrow...

In the mean time here's some info:

Roman numerals:

I = 1
V = 5
X = 10

Placing the I to the left of V or X subtracts the number, placing it to the right adds the number

So with V as 5, then IV is 4, and VI is 6 - easy!

And for Spits - VIII is 8 (five plus three ones) and IX is 9 (ten minus one)

The mysterious XIX is also easy - 19 (twenty would be XX, but the middle I subtracts from the right X)

OK, Sweden and Switzerland - roundels attached:

Clave, wasn't 19 Sqdrn the first to use cannon armed Spt IIs? Might want to use 19 Sqdrn for that and another Sqdrn for the Mk I. Just an idea.

BTW - FANTASTIC!!!!!
 
Yep, I am just deciding on a couple of things, then I will press ahead with a BoB calendar.

As things stand I want to accurately scale the aircraft against each other, but I'm not 100% decided on this idea, so any feedback would be good. I think think Bomber/Fighter combo looks good, but not to sure about the Fighter/Fighter page...

Another test page - I'll wait for feedback now I think because I'm still not sure about the scale thing....
