Re: Photos German Aircraft
 

Hello,


Currently on ebay is a better image of the NFW B.I N.14 as seen in post #48 of this thread.

Also possibly of interest is an aircraft I've been puzzling over. The aircraft in the background has H.F.C on the fuselage. I've no idea what his means. Any thoughts

Hello,


I really require assistance with this machine. B.341/15 is a serial that appears in the published sources as an Euler aircraft. So does the writing on the rear of the two postcards in fact correspond to the so far unpublished serial B.841/15? The machine shown certainly could be a three bay Aviatik. The two photos of the aircraft can be seen at

Further photos from the seller can be seen here including the definite Aviatik B.823/15. Well definite if the text on the rear of the photo is correct.But the machine is an Aviatik. So at this stage I believe that the machine is an Aviatik,but if so what type number in Aviatiks system P.??

Re: Photos German Aircraft
 

Well Clint

I wonder if the year stated by the individual who wrote the text on the flip side is wrong.

If we take B.341/14 it actually fits a known range

The same is actually true regarding a second identified crash where he says it was B.823/16.
I got nothing on a single Aviatik B-type ordered in 1916.

I will not venture a guess about the type. German two-seaters? Yack... :)

Good thinking Stig.B.341/14 makes much more sense. I've had an opportunity to think more about the type shown also and think we can definitely say that it is a P.15.


Moreover, I don't believe that the year number above was the only error on the rear of the photos. Looking at 823. It is in fact a Aviatik C.I 823/15 or 823/16.The rudder arrangement is typical of a C.I (but also the B.II).


Speaking of 1916 B types what is your highest Bestellnummer for that year?

Clint

Morning Clint

I agree, the B.823/16 feels far better as a C.I 823/16. I go for the year 1916 since otherwise we have
a double fault, and that only happens in tennis.... :D

Regarding the B.341/14 all the others in that range are B.I in my list. Herris is not much use here.

The highest "B-number" in 1916 I have is a Fokker B.I 1079, but let it also be said I have that from
the Internet way back. I have not made any combined BNr lists myself.

Cheers
Stig

Re: Photos German Aircraft
 

Thanks Stig,


I think your reference to the Fokker B.I is to the FFA 9b machine,possibly from Paul Leamans's Fokker book. At least that is where my reference to the machine originates.This machine would be the reason for my question about your highest Bestellnummer for a 1916 B type. I had wondered why I had no definite machines between it and LVG B.I (Ot) 639/16.As for B.1079, I think other Fokker B.I definitely indicate /14 is the correct year,contra Leaman.

Clint

Re: Photos German Aircraft
 

Sorry Clint

Don't have Leaman's book. What I have is a list (36 pages) which I printed in 2013 from somewhere
on the 'net.
Called German Army Aircraft Serial Numbers between 1910-1918

I have not bothered to make any list myself which I perhaps should have done, but time never seems to
be enough...

Cheers

Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of Albatros C.III 852/15 of the Flieger Beobachterschule at Thorn. This is an interesting photo as published sources have 852/15 as a Albatros C.IV.


https://www.ebay.de/itm/116427905280...Bk9SR9ru6aD_ZA



The seller has a number of other photos from the same unit

Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of a Rumpler G.II 110/15 presumably of Kasta 9

https://www.ebay.de/itm/365332757099...Bk9SR4rZzr-LZQ


Numerous other photos,of admittedly variable quality by the same seller can be found here


https://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_dkr=...w=1918&_sop=10


I am intrigued by the aircraft showing markings as per the next link. Has anyone previously seen aircraft with this style of marking?
