German Navy Fokker D.VII
The Dutch city of Vlissingen (Flushing) has some interesting pictures of aircraft which ended up in the area during WWI.
The 2nd, 4th, 10th, 40th and 45th pic in this selection all show a Fokker D.VII numbered '115'. According to Dutch sources this is Albatros-built 5584/18, landed at IJzendijke, 15 Oct 1918. Pilot, Uffz. Alfred Baum of 1. Seeflug Abteilung, Marine Jagd Stab IV. Does anyone know if 115 is a unit code or a proper German Navy WWI serial? I know of a serial list which contains only seaplanes. On that list 115 is not a D.VII and by 1918 the numbers ran much higher. By the way, the fourth picture reveals that the (Army) serial is 5288 (18), not 5584. The rudder also reads 'Fok D.7' and then something in brackets; not OAW, I think. Thanks for any insights.
