thanks for the help everybody cheers Glenn

thanks for that. It seems to be a difficult jasta to find info on! if anyone can add to that please let me know. cheers Glenn

Good morning all, Can anybody supply me with a list of known pilots of Jasta 78b ? thanks Glenn.

Hi Darrell, as far as info on the So.Rho.Vol goes I've found the best books are the 2 Vol by Hickman "Rhodesia served the Queen" Vol 1 is up to the relief of Mafeking and Vol2 is all after that. Its not a cheep set to get hold of though! Cheers Glenn.

Thanks Alex, do all your flugbuch or any you have seen have the same cover type? thanks Glenn.

Thanks Alex, Thats interesting-I didn't know that each plane had a logbook as well. just when time permits could you please post a pic or 2 of one of your Flugbuch. Cheers Glenn.

Hi Guys, Can I please get some info on WW1 Flugbuch. I understand there were 2 one for training and 1 for opperational service. Was the opperational flugbuch of a standardised format by 17-18 or were there many variations of these? I would be very grateful if anybody has an opperational book if they could post some pics of the cover and a page or 2 of the interior as this is on my collection wants list and I'm suprised at the lack of info on WW1 aviation Paperwork. thanks Glenn.

thanks guys!!! Glenn

Hi Everyone, Is the maker mark J.G & S938 a recognised pre 1918 makers mark for this award? I have spent sometime searching here and the WAF and cannot find a reference to it. I have found J.G u S938 but no '&' any opinions welcomed!! thanks Glenn.

Hi Mike thanks for that I'll try and get hold of whoever did the website and see how I go. thanks for your time-If you come across any JG 300 in your travels chuck us a PM. Cheers Glenn

Hi Mike, I got it of a website www.cieldegloire.com/unites.php I think its a spanish website. the full information for the 3 I'm after is c.2027/II Anerk:Nr 6 c.2027/II vne:asm 26.7.44 c.2027/II vne:asm 27.7.44 I have no idea if this is accurate I'm just repeating from the website thanks Glenn

Hi everyone, Is there a person/company/museum/institution that you can buy copys of Geramn gun cam footage if you know the number of the tape you are after? I'm starting to study a fighter pilot who got 3 victories in late 44 with JG 300 and I thought that it would be a good addition to the paperwork! the film is C.2027 if that helps anybody. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong area-I wasn't sure where to put it. thanks Glenn.

Hi Rick, yep I've sent them -are they clear enough?

Hi Rick, I've tryed to no avail so it will not be happening untill I get someone around to see what I'm doing wrong. PM me your email address if you want and I'll try and email them to you. thanks Glenn

Can anyone please recommend a good rference book on the general technical overview of the German Imperial airfoce please? what I am after is a book containing all the Squadrons and training abts-where they were stationed and when and what planes they had? I guess a WW1 verson of a book like the WW2 "luftwaffe data " book is what I'm after. thanks Glenn.

Hi Rick, sure, its Karl Heinrich Herman Schnitger. He went as Heinrich Schintger. its a nice set but after talking about dealers adding on things unfortunatly the photo was not with the group and when I querried them they said "we just added a photo to the website togive people an idea of the type of plane he flew". thats a bit annoying as I thought it would be neat to make a model of the plane with the items. I'll post some pics when I can as I will need some help with the types of planes he trained in. I've got 90% but the others are a bit obscure. Seems his later flights were in an albatros CV and all his other plane were also 2 seaters so the photo but me astray as he never was in the type pictured!!! I thought something might be up when I googled Albatros and got the same photo as on the document listing but I thought it might be a common postcard. Ow well... I'll try and post some pics soon. Thanks Glenn.

Hi Les, Thanks somuch for your help, I was hoping that Signature would be someone I can Research. I done the dive and brought the Doc lot-I'm guessing I will not be dissapointed. when I get the group I'll try and post some pics of interesting pages. If you do find any more info I'd be very gratefull. I'm guessing my next purchase will have to be the sanke card of Pechmann. thanks again Glenn.

Thanks Les, that would be awsome!! Glenn.

Thanks Les, so no red flags as far as you can see? Glenn.

Hi Alex, I've asked the seller some more questions and am awaiting a reply.

Hi Guys and Girls. I'm new to this game of collecting Imperial Aviation memorabilia and I am concidering buying a Soldbuch and Flugbuch to a pilot who was in (A) 217 squad for the last couple of months of the war. In his Soldbuch it is entered that he was in the "nebenstehender abt" of the squadron. Am I correct in guessing that his job was to fly as a protection pilot to an observer plane in an Artillery obs unit? thanks Glenn.
