Lost in the lawn

Flying over Mongolia in an opensportplaiin must be sensational. But without radar en GPS it's all grass, isitn't? So to oriëntate Marga used the trackop the Transsyberia Express. A small track in a stupendous lawn, easely lost …

Epilogue

On the previous page I had only a part of the epilogue. On this last one is the whole story:
Marga landen with the wind in the back on Moslimieh, she dameges the plain. She ask the French for a room with a bed to come to herself. Apparently she shot herself. The rest is history.

Final curtain

After an unfortunate landing in Mouslimieh - Syria, French mandate at the time, in which she damaged her plain a bit, Marga asks the French if she can lay down a moment. They offer her a room with a bed. Half een hour later two shots were heard from the room. The French found Marga, dead all ready. She shot her self through the head with an automatic gun. Nobody ever knew why she did it.

I'm verry pleased with the titel[page]

Marga von Etzdorff wore a grease stained, verry oversized, verry unflattering over all in many pictures. The shoes she wore beneath them were a sharp contrast. Ofcourse the pictures are all in black/white, bit I like to think her shoes were pink.

Vacation

I have been away on vacation, out of the reach of internet. All I coudls do on my computer was … drawing.
First I wasn't completly satisfied with 'flying with swans'. There were some swans but no plane.

Then I have to start my story somwhere. Mayby not this page, but it's the closest to page one so far.

Getting into portraits now

An other improvement. I need t write more text but I like the composition better this way:

Adjustments

I didn't lik the colour green so much, to yellow, to dominant. So:


The story goes, that when Margo von Etzdorf landed at Hailar, Inner Mongolia, western reportes were waiting at the airfield. It turned out not for her but for famous Amy Johnson, who flew - with a mecanic - aols to Tokyo. Both, Marga and the reporters were disapointed.
