Also I'm wondering if the album is definitely FA (A) 287, note the Fliegerabteilung 102 marking on the car.

I would say it is extremely difficult to state specifically to where each aircraft seen (or individual) belongs.

However, I tend to go with the album this time. Whenever a unit is mentioned it is FFA 287. Even below the photo of the car with the FFA 102 label, it says so.

No doubt the owner/collector of the album also exchanged pictures with others, which of course creates a dilemma. The Rumpler C.IV is such a case in point. Sold before on the 'net. Likewise the captured remains of the RAF FE.2b 6346, seen from the rear, has been published before (Cross & Cockade FE.2 book). I have not seen the one from the front though!

All in all a quite nice album.
Thanks for catching it Clint

Cheers
