Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft

Hello,


Currently on delcampe are a couple of photos of German aircraft in French markings


AEG C.IV



https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...125026540.html


Pfalz D.IIIa 8033/17


https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...125026516.html


The latter machine has been seen before,though may be not this photo, but it gives me a chance to ask what the significance of the marking on the tail is?


The seller has may other photos of French aircraft both Great War and from the interwar period,though some at least have been seen before, at

Clint. This is 8033/17 (Jasta 64w) captured 27 March 1918, believed to have shot it's own prop off; "1663" is her Works Number (or equivalent WW1 term) and "P" probably assigned by the French for evaluation purposes.The system seems a bit random as a captured Albatros D.II was AL910.

PS I should have twigged the "P" and "AL", must be for Pfalz and Albatros.

A bit more trivia. Albatros D.II "AL910" was D.910/16 shot down by 29 and 11 Sqns. on 4 March 1917, flown by Max Bohme Jasta 5 (POW); British "G" number was G.14, then passed to the French and both were evaluated at Villacoubly.

Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft

Hello,


Currently on delcampe are a couple of photos of ex-German aircraft in Belgium. Possibly it would be more accurate to speak of reparations rather than capture.


LVG C.VI

Fokker D.VII

The C.VI is unusual since it lacks all kind of either civil or military markings.
By the time the photo was taken (Oct 1920) it really should have.
The only reason I can think of is that the Belgian AF never put all of their assigned C.VI into use.
Many were no doubt used for spares but others were perhaps used as ground trainers?
The engine is running pretty smoothly in this picture. Any idea?

The Fokker should be 6693/18 which became F2 with the AF

Cheers
Stig
