Per was born in 1959. He is married with 3 children and work as
a designer. He grew up near one of the Swedish War Flight Schools in the
l960’s and I saw the aircraft in the sky over their house every day. At
the age of 6 he visited the base on one of their Air shows and had a chance to
se them close. Per becomes fascinated about these beautiful birds: DH 115 MK 50
Vampires, SAAB 91, SAAB Tunnan, Hawker Hunter Mk4, SAAB Lansen and J35 Draken.
In his teens he read every Biggles book he could find and build airfix kits and
had them hanging from my bedroom ceiling. In the autumn of –99 Per bought
his first computer. The first file he downloaded was the RB3D demo and the
second was the EAW demo. He had carefully studied WW1 and WW2 flight sim
reviews before and I thought it was these two sims he should go for. And he
hasn’t regretted that decision! After having tried the demos he bought the
games. He started with RB3D, since he prefers to only have one game up at the
time, he didn’t play EAW seriously until the autumn of 2000. Per still
prefers RB3D, which is the game in his heart. But he enjoys EAW very much and
the user made add- ons makes it great. Per is not interested in modern jet
sims, only in the WW1 and WW2 era. |
Per's EAW aka is 'vonOben', which is based on the German
'from above'.
Per is an active member of the EAW community as well as the
Red Baron flight simulator forum. He has created many mods for EAW,
particularly in the field of Terrains and tutorials. He is also a key member in
the team who is currently creating a new EAW campaign called the 'Finnish Air
War’. Per runs his own web site for both EAW and Red Baron, called 'vonOben's Flight Sim Mods. |

Peter was born in 1949 in Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK. He
went to Liverpool University in 1968 (just after the Beatles) but did some
heavy drinking with 'Scaffold' which included Paul McCartney's brother Mike
McGear. Having graduated in Mechanical Engineering, he went on to work in a

at the age of 40. Peter now works for the local Council. He is married with an
18 year old son and a 21 year old daughter, and living in Pontypridd in South
Wales. Peter's hobbies include cooking Chinese food, Aircraft, Steam
Locomotives and Tanks. He started building plastic aircraft kits when Airfix
brought out their first Spitfire in the early 50's and had probably built over
300 before running out of space a few years ago. For his 50th birthday his wife
gave him a flying lesson, something he wants to pursue. Until then he continues
to take pleasure from EAW and similar computer games. |
Peter's EAW aka is 'PeterMBooth', one he chose as easy to
remember, due to too many 'grey cells' being damaged by alchohol!!!.
Peter
enjoys EAW and similar PC sims and play's an active part in the EAW forums. He
would also be happy to be a tester for EAW. |

ABOUT HIMSELF |
HIMSELF AND
EAW |
 |
After a 25 year climb up the corporate ladder, Ray threw in the
towel in 1998 and moved to a very remote spot on the Eastern Shore of Virginia,
USA, where he and his wife, Janet turned their waterfront vacation home into a
full time residence.
He found employment as the manager for a small "green"
industrial park in the nearby town. A big change for the poster boy for the
"type A" personality, but it probably saved his life.
Unfortunately, Janet,
a special ed. teacher, was stricken with Multiple Sclerosis in 2001 and became
unable to work. By 2003 she was bedridden so Ray retired to become a full time
caregiver.
Modding EAW has given him an outlet for both creative energies
and socialization. "I'm not sure where I'd be without the mental stimulation
and camaraderie. I've made friends literally around the globe." |
Ray's EAW aka is 'Rotton50', named after 'that time of
life'.
Ray has been an avid follower of EAW for some time and started to
dabble with modifications to various aircraft. Since then he has become one of
our top modders, creating many varied and unusual aircraft.
Ray is a member
of SEAWC and his work can be downloaded from his pages at the
EAW Tally-Ho site.
