Re: Photo Albatros B.II

Stig,


Indeed not necessarily a military B.II. In which case according to Kroschel & Stützer the company designation was a rather unoriginal DD. Yavor Dinkov has a photo captioned as DD at

The same photo is in the relevant Aeronaut volume captioned as an early B.II! This volune also has a Sanke Card with the caption Albatros Militar-Doppeldecker. So not really helpfull?


I no longer think that the photo I linked to shows the machine as part of the Prinz-Heinrich-Flug as Zwickau was not a destination.


As For the B2, on a purely speculative basis could this be applied just for a competion and indicate a certain class of aircraft be it weight class,engine power or even as a biplane?,with the machine in the photo being the second entrant of the B 'Class' in the competion?


Incidently while searching I found this link to a crashed Taube from the 1914 Prinz-Heinrich-Flug
