I'm very excited to have received permission from Martin Simons to post
interesting sailplane history data from his "Sailplanes" books. I plan
to post information about one interesting sailplane each week. The
first one will be the story of the Fafnir and its pilot from the book
"The World's Vintage Sailplanes 1908-45". It will be posted in a few
days.

Much as I like Martin Simons' "Sailplane" books, and I have all three and
use them as a prime reference source, there's another site that is as
good or better for a smaller range of gliders:

http://www.scalesoaring.co.uk/

Its particularly good on the Fafnir, Reiher and Weihe.
