Photo Fokker E Types

[musec04]

Hello,


Subsequent to posting the Fokker photos in the previous post in this threas I have received the following information from Josef Scott


I have to say I'm a bit hazy on the differences between FEAs and KEAs myself. I can't recall seeing any of the airfields such as Köln, Großenhain, Graudenz, etc. referred to as anything other that FEAs. However, Mannheim and Köslin (among others) were KEAs. Will have to make some inquiries.


The photo of Fok E.I 1/15 is pretty well known, although this is a great print of it. The pilot is always identified as Otto Parschau. There are many photos of Parschau & Fokker with early Eindeckers at Köln, so it seems to have been something of a proving ground for new designs for them.


I think the other 2 photos are of the same E.I – same location, same time frame, same type and they both have that big box barograph attached to the rigging wires, not a common accessory.

Regards,


Clint
