Talk:Schoettler I

Cites and Rosamonde
The cites for the Xianyi Rosamonde are not satisfactory but the only ones I could find. Since Flight had been informed that the Schoettler was the first successful Chinese built aircraft but the Museum in Bejing believes that the Rosonde has the distinction, it seemed important to mention the latter. The Scramble article, and refs within it, are all I could find - nothing in Flight, for example. Better refs, perhaps from a Chinese reader would be very helpful. WP has no Rosamonde article, unsurprisingly, though there is a Commons image with hand written note. A source which gives a first flight date for the Schoettler would settle the claims and anyway be helpful.TSRL (talk) 16:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
