| I thought everybody had forgotten Jablo - it was used on carrier aircraft as touching the blade tips on the steel deck did not wreck the engine. My father made a couple of bookends from the stuff and it was very dense and could be worked like metal - it looked like plywood but with thin laminates as it was compressed to 1/2 its original thickness. I read Clostermanns book at about 8 years of age and that started my enthusiasm for all things that fly - I have held maintenance engineers now for 44 years. |
