I'd like to acknowledge all the help I had with creating
this site and the following information is here for that purpose.
In order to be as factual as possible, I used many references
and I have listed below as many as possible. Most images have
been personally scanned from books except for those from other
websites. I thank the webmasters and their sites are also listed
below.
The following list represents the webmasters who have shared
their photos, videos and information:
 Most
of what I know about Gilbert is from Leatrice
Gilbert Fountain's
book, Dark
Star, and I wish to pay tribute to it here. It is probably
the only book where you can really find out all there is
to know about Gilbert. It's a sad story, but also an epic
one. This site wishes to pay tribute to Ms Gilbert Fountain
and her book, wishes to thank her for providing such a rich
biography and in no way wishes to take any credit for her
work.
Thanks to Bob King at Classic
Images and Jimmy Bangley for the use of his quotation
on the front page of this site from the article written
about Leatrice Fountain Gilbert:
