Ferdinando D'Amico -

Gents,

On the Large Scale Planes website there is a thread announcing the recent passing of our colleague Ferdinando D'Amico - "Veltro".

More here: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/in...opic=68022&hl=

Sadly,

David

Ferdinando D'Amico

Hi guys

That is terrible news as he was one of the foremost researchers of Italian aviation in World War II. We also lost Hal Marshman several days ago so it has been a difficult week. My thoughts and prayers go to these men and their families.

Horrido!

Leo

Re: Ferdinando d'Amico

My deep condolences to his family.
We had an very, very intensive contact during his work on "Camouflage and Markings of ANR" or our time in the former Bf109 Lair - forum. It was an very good time.

He is gone too soon...

Re: Ferdinando d'Amico

I was in touch with him for a couple of times. He was a nice guy.
Too sad.

Re: Ferdinando d'Amico

What a terrible loss. He was a wonderful researcher and writer and, until recently, shared his knowledge.

He once gave me the unique honor of asking if I'd review one of his books. His last. When he withdrew from sharing his work, I thought that was a loss, but this is beyond...
I shall forever cherish my autographed copy of his book.
