Good Morning everyone for a chilly San Francisco Bay Area, where the Summer Fog has rolled in and typically does not burn off until Mid Afternoon, keeping temperatures in the 70’s. It is a great time of year to visit the Bay Area and announce new John Jenkins Releases.
Some great new releases, especially the Defense Works for Ticonderoga, the supply wagon and of course the Madists, plus a couple more.
We hope to have these up on the web site, later this morning.
www.sierratoysoldier.com.
As always hope you enjoy the new releases as much as we do. We hope to have as many as we can at the Chicago Show, plus I hope we can get some preview releases as well. See you there.

Announcement
From 1st September 2011 there will be a new UK dealership.
JJD.UK will be an exclusive dealer for the United Kingdom.
John Jenkins Designs Products will no longer be available from TM Terrain Ltd.
TM Terrain starting working with John in 2006, and initially only carried the 28mm Wargames figures and Buildings. In 2008 they started to carry the 60mm painted figures.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their hard work in promoting my work in the UK and especially for their excellent displays at the London shows. It will be a challenge to look as good at future shows.
We both feel a great amount of pride, that from humble beginnings, both companies have grown to establish themselves in the Toy Soldier industry.
I wish both Mark and David of TMTerrain Ltd. all the best for the future.
KNIGHTS OF THE SKIES
The Fokker D.VII was a German World War I fighter aircraft designed by Reinhold Platz of the Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. Germany produced around 1,700 D.VII aircraft in the summer and autumn of 1918. In service, the D.VII quickly proved itself to be a formidable aircraft. The Armistice ending the war specifically required Germany to surrender all D.VIIs to the Allies at the conclusion of hostilities. The aircraft saw widespread service with many other countries in the years after World War I.
The Fokker D.VII entered squadron service with Jasta 66 in early May 1918. The type quickly proved to have many important advantages over the Albatros and Pfalz scouts. Unlike the Albatros scouts, the D.VII could dive without any fear of structural failure. The D.VII was also noted for its ability to climb at high angles of attack, its remarkably docile stall, and its reluctance to spin. These handling characteristics were a huge improvement over other contemporary planes such as the Camel and SPAD, which stalled sharply and spun vigorously.

Model Weight 290g

This model is larger than the other planes produced so far.
The main material of production is Polyresin.
Hermann Goring was known to use motivational devices, such as the power of imagery to motivate his men. Therefore it was no surprise when he broke the tradition of having the Richtofen Geschwader-Kommandeur (Wing Commander) fly an aeroplane with a highly visible amount of red on it.
Apparently as he wanted to assert his own identity, and to make him instantly recognizable during the battles to come, his final aeroplane, Fokker D.VII F 5125/18, was all white.
HERMANN GORING
It is impossible to consider Hermann Göring (1893-1946) as just another flying ace of World War One. His role in instigating and perpetrating the horrors of Naziism in World War Two overwhelms anything else he did earlier in his life. While this figure and model focuses on his WWI experiences, his heinous role in WWII can never be forgotten, or forgiven.
Hermann Goring was born in 1893, the son of a German diplomat. Following education in a military school he became an infantry officer. During World War 1 he became a fighter pilot.
Hermann Goring became a skilled and daring fighter pilot who scored 22 air victories. Goering was promoted to a squadron leader, decorated with the Iron Cross, and when the famous "Red Baron" von Richthofen was killed in air combat, Hermann Goring replaced him in command of his elite fighter squadron.
Göring was appointed head of the Richthofen Group in July, much to the annoyance of many aces in that group with 40+ kills. But Göring turned out to be a good group leader and the complaints faded away and morale improved.
He was to shoot down one more Spad for his 22nd and final victory.
The Goring figure is depicted with the so-called Geschwader-Stock which was a traditional symbol of authority passed down from Richthofen.
