Our New (family) Website

Hello all,

This is just a quick note to let our friends and family know that we will be migrating all of our family-oriented media (photos, updates on our family news, what have you) onto a new site: The Scheils are Online in the next few days.  Please bookmark the link to and check back there occasionally if you are so inclined.

Thanks,
Chris, Amy, & Andrew

Ephemera | Airminded

Airminded, Brett Holman's blog on airpower and British Society 1908-1939 has a number of extremely interesting posts, dealing with such topics as Japanese Bomber range maps, the zeppelin in advertising and popular culture, and the history of the Commonwealth games.  Great stuff.

Instrument Panels

Here is a huge collection of images of airplane instrument panels (mostly from USAF models), in case someone should need to know where the altimeter on, say, an XB-70A "Valkyrie" Bomber is located...

PRC Pocket Calendar Cards

Maopost's collection of 70's era pocket calendar cards from China are really interesting to browse, and quite instructive in regards to the visual grammar of the PRC at a transitional moment in its history (the last years of the Cultural Revolution to the rise of Deng Xiaoping).
