Butler: Where I read about Boelcke's height? <---That's the $64,000 question because I can't for the life of me remember where. If I come across it, I'll pass it along. Similarly, I've read many accounts that put MvR** at 5'5". I have a picture with both Boelcke and MvR in it. They aren't standing right next to one another, but you can tell they were darn near the same size so I'm thinking 5'6" is pretty close. Vic:

Andrew wasn't the only "shortie"....all accounts I've read put Ernst Udet at 5'2" also. In all the pictures, Udet is always the shortest.

Yep, I believe you were that small. I'd like to see you prove it otherwise, "Big" guy! __________________ The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do. -- Thomas Jefferson
