Re: Photo Albatros D.Va
 

To be honest Clint, this looks very much like a D.III to me

Slabsided fuselage (oval with the D.V) and the rather "cut" fin/rudder vs the more rounded one on the D.V. Also the upper wing is (or at least seems to be) higher put than the D.V.

No help with Jasta colours I'm afraid.

Cheers

Hi Stig,


Clearly further attention needed on my part to the rudder in future. In all honesty I actually saw rounded fuselage rather than slab sided D.III hence thread title. This is in fact becoming a bit of a habit for me on here with D.III/D.Va identities.

Does anyone recognise the markings and have a serial number for the machine or a name for the pilot?

Hello,


Currently on ebay is an Albatros D.Va named Lini of Jasta 16b (?) at:


https://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-Flieger...wAAOSwZzdfmxCG

The identity of Jasta 16b is tentative as I'm assuming that it belonged to the same sellers photographs of the crashed Pfalz D.III D.4034/17 known to belong to that unit at:

Currently on ebay is a photo of a crashed Albatros D.Va D.7214/17 at:


https://www.ebay.de/itm/133943509296...cAAOSw9wJhnSrq


It is captioned as belonging to FFA 42.But this seems unlikely. Does anyone have a unit for this machine?

Clint this is a D.III (OAW), with D.V - type rudder and crosses marked further forward.

Flat sides, D.III alright. Missed that too. Stab in the back using D.V rudder on some D.IIIs if you ask me....:D
