Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

Gents,

I did show the Alphonse Penaud Diploma awarde by the FAI and received in the past by Hanno Prettner.

In the period I do study the history of Ed Kazmirski, now for many years, I soon discovered he wasn’t mentioned in the Hall of Fame of the AMA,
People did try to show me the mentioning in the hall of fame of the VR/CS, a local organization with only 350 members!. Hasn’t to do anything with worldwide respect he deserves.
For me it is important for future to clear the facts of the past, but I think people do not want me understand.
For that I show another example.

I already did show the results of the Brothers Metkemeijer, Netherlands, and when we look if they are metioned for their results we find this, they were awarded with the,

The Antonov Aeromodelling Diploma
This Diploma was established by the FAI in 1987 and may be awarded annually by the FAI to an aeromodeller of an FAI Member for technical innovations in aeromodelling. This Diploma is donated annually by the NAC of Russia to the FAI. Only one Diploma shall be awarded annually. The Antonov Aeromodelling Diploma may be granted more than once to the same person for different technical innovations made in different years.


Received in 1994 by
A.E.C. (Bert) METKEMEIJER (Netherlands)
R.A. (Rob) METKEMEIJER (Netherlands)

1992,1993 and 1995 not awarded!!!!!

I am not an USA-member so my only action is the reconstruction of the development of Ed Kazmirski’s planes, a personnal action.
Why Ed Kazmirski wasn’t mentioned in the AMA Hall of Fame, will be a question in my schedule and I think I
cannot do anything more. I only try to complete the facts.

It is important for the USA members to get an answer for this question (and maybe they still can do anything with it), just as the acceptance of my project, because the only important part of my project is to show (still a part of) real facts that are forgotten in the USA and that of course is not the situation we read in post 101 of another thread, we all know better than that:

It's fortunate for us that Tom was such a ''typical'' engineer. It's a shame Ed Kazmirski didn't do the same thing; we would certainly have a lot more to go on if he had.
