Photo Fokker D.VII

[musec04]

Hi Nick,


I agree with you about Wingnut wings site, its an excellent reference for aircrat and not just the Fokker D.VII either.


With regard to the location of the photo of D.VII F 7788/18, the Fokker anthology vol. 1 has the following text 'passed its acceptance test on November 29 1918 and passed to the USAS at Coblenz early the following year' I accept that that doesn't necessarily mean that the photo is taken at Coblenz, but given that it still bears German national markings, perhaps Germany is indicated as a location rather than France.


Also, you're correct that Smith & Kay is probably where I previously saw the photo, though the ebay one is much clearer.Jasta 37 is a distinct possibility but Jastas 71 and 73 can't be ruled out.



Regards,


Clint
