Photo Aviatik B.I

[Buckeye30]

Clint. I suspect the result depended on who was painting it , some made them more elaborate. There are 2 styles on this Albatros; the rules were followed more strictly in WW2 ( but by no means always).
I remember an RAF ground-crew telling how they hand-painted squadron code letters on their Typhoons and they all differed ( partly done to relieve the boredom). Looks like the tail numbers on your Aviatik were done by hand too.

It is the same aircraft, ie B.661/14
You can faintly see the name Bussard on the photo from rear slightly right side.
The environment is also the same.

Cheers

Hello Stig,


Thanks for the sharp eyes. I guess I rushed it as both serials do belong to the same batch of Aviatik B.I.


Subsequent edit





B.661/14 in any event a DFW B.II not an Aviatik B.I
