Postcard ID Help Needed

[musec04]

Hello,


Currently on ebay there is a postcard showing several early, probably pre WW.I aircraft. Can anyone help with the machines at the bottom left and bottom right. It can be viewed at:

Bottom left is a LVG B.I. I believe that it has B17 on the rudder, but can anyone read the year number?


Bottom right is a Taube of some sort. Again can anyone read the serial?


TIA,


Clint

Hi Bertrand,


Yes, mircales are tricky, but thanks for trying anyway. Any opinion on what's on the fin of the Taube?

Looks like "A.2", the 1911-1915 class code for monoplanes=A (mostly "Taube" types). I think this one from Etrich judging by the tailplane.

Hello Nick,,


I'm more than happy to go with your judgement on a Rumpler. I read it with no degree of certainty at all, small 7 (but could be small 2), / large 13. As both A.2/13 and A.7/13 were based at Köln either would be plausible, but once again I don't feel particularly definite about what I'm seeing.


Regards,


Clint
