German Navy Fokker D.VII

[musec04]

Hi Stig,


I've just been looking through Albatros Publications various volumes of the Fokker D.VII Anthology. Interestingly Vol.2 has a couple of photos of D.7 (OAW)2010/18 on the inside front cover. Reading further P.25 shows that the arabic style numerals were used rather than the more familiar roman style on early machines and further also on various components of the aircraft.So possibly on the rudder also, although I believe the aircraft in Petrusja's link is the first time I've seen this.


So while accepting your reasoning that D5584/18 was flown by Engelfried and taken over by the dutch, I'm wondering if in fact the aircraft shown in Petrusja's link is another impounded machine and in fact D.5288/18. It would certainly be interesting to know the serial number of the Fokker D.VII flown by Baum of MFJ IV. the reference to Marine Jagd Stab IV. in Petrusja's post might lead one to believe that this is a MFJ IV machine.



Regards,


Clint
