Welcome to the June issue of Aviation What-Not! This month we bring a great profile section by Bob Pearson covering the design house of Thomas Sopwith. Mr. Pearson's glimpse at the designs of Sopwith from the early years of aviation are interesting, and he assures me that more of these aviation manufacturer synopses will be following. Also this month we have a new section for you history buffs: The Order of the Golden Spheres. We here are actively looking for anyone who might qualify for this lofty award, so if you know someone, please let us know. The first member of the Order is a C-130 pilot from Pakistan. Be sure to read his story in our history section. We also have some great in-box kit reviews, and a trio of book reviews, too. Also, with our partnership with AVSIM Online, we now have back issues going all the way back to January. So sit back and enjoy another month of Aviation What-Not!
