Re: German Navy Fokker D.VII

Hello Petrusja,


According to Jon Guttman in Naval Aces of World War I P.49 Fokker D.VII (Alb) D.5584/18 belonged to MFJ V (MFJ = Marinefeldjasta). The aircraft serial was D.5584/18 as you correctly notice.The Marine Feld Jasta aeroplanes usually operated with Idflieg serials as assigned to army aircraft as is the case here. Also Guttman has the pilot as Vzflgmstr Karl Engelfried.



I'm not sure about the significance of the nummber 115 on the rudder, but its not a naval serial. Naval landplane serial number LF.115 was a much earlier Albatros.


Thanks for the link to the interesting photos.


Regards,


Clint
