Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of a Rumpler 6B 2 at:


https://www.ebay.de/itm/X5937-Foto-W...4AAOSwqLlf-YCL


The serial is a little confusing. A misapplied serial for 1444 which was a Rumpler 6B 2 perhaps?

An interesting inscription Clint

In Sweden we had something similar, female defence minded organizations which collected money to subscribe and pay for military aircraft.

Looks like this was something similar and as a thanks the "Bund" got their name painted on the aircraft. Were there collections in Germany?
Most likely I would say.

Cheers

Hi Stig,


I imagine every state with a navy had a simialar association. Der Flottenbund deutscher Frauen to give it its full name was a female component of the more famous Flottenverein. Charity work and collections were indeed undertaken in support of the navy. Reasonable to assume that there was a female component to the British Naval League of the same era.
