Jasta 11

[Andy Fletcher]

Could anyone recommend any decent links or books covering the Red Baron's famous flying circus, particularly regards to pilots who flew with the unit.

This is outside my usual area of research, I've been asked by a contact if I could try and help.

Was there a pilot by the name of Schoene who flew with Jasta 11?

Best Regards

I think that Greg Van Wyngarden have book about this subject. Also there is magazines WW1 Aero as well Over The Front which could have material like this.

Cheers :)

Peter Kilduff's "The Red Baron Combat Wing" would probably help you.

Many thanks for the advice, I'll pass it on.

I'll see if I can find something about a Schoene

[Andy Fletcher]

Hi Ruy,

Thanks for the list of books, there's enough there to keep him going for a while!

Thanks for looking into Schoene for me.

Cheers

I can't add any books, because Ruy kinda covered it, but are you familiar with the Aerodrome website? http://www.theaerodrome.com/

It's not completely Jasta 11, but there's some good material there for research. Also check their reference section for more links - http://www.theaerodrome.com/links/index.php?ax=list&cat_id=9

And there's Frontflieger - it's in German, but I seem to remember there being some English parts of it.

Hi Cori,

Many thanks for the link. The site certainly looks comprehensive.

You're welcome, Andy, always glad to be of assistance.

Andy could it be "Schoenebeck" ? there were Schoene's with Jastas 23 and 42 but not 11; Ltn. Karl Schoenebeck was with Jasta 11 July 1917--Jan. 1918.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for that, I'll pass it on to my contact. It should help.

Hello,
there was a Kurt Schönfelder , but with Jasta 7.
Probable not the man you are looking for.

[Wet255]

Hi Andy, I wrote a book called "Under the Guns of the Red Baron" with the late and wonderful Hal Giblin and Norman Franks. Most of his claims have details, photos of the crews etc. We try to keep updating as we find more photos, information but I think its about as good as you will get (but I would say that wouldn't I lol) You can get copies on Amazon, EBay Nigel
