Re: Photo Pfalz D.III

Hi Clint

This is 8151/17 (not 8131/17) and it was an aircraft flown by Ltn Ewald Konig from Jasta 23 who experienced engine trouble on May 3rd, 1918 and landed north of Gonnelieu.

It was assigned the "captured aircraft" serial number G/1Bde/2

It is known to have been shipped to London and exhibited there (only because of the number of photos available). It may have been on a "road-show" across the country in 1918-19, but was not preserved.

Cheers
Stig
