Marcus H Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) 11 & 18 are a Fokker D 7 (VII)It's got it written on the side, I missed that This aeroplane entered service in 1918. Edited November 23, 2005 by Marcus H
Marcus H Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) This one an earlier Albatros D variation I think, I don't think it's a late C variation. On these look at the profile of the cockpit and the shape it looks from a side on view, then the tail fin, it's not rounded which seem a more common attribute for the D types, but the ealier D's had it more straight.So a possible D1, 11 or 111 Edited November 23, 2005 by Marcus H
Marcus H Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) This one and the last pic could well be Albatros 5 A, not the 5 as that had a section behind the cockpit rather like a head rest........can't think of the name of it, it's not a nacelle. Damn can't think Although the last pic the cockpit and fuseleage don't tally really to a 5 A...........uummm I'll be buggered if I know (the pic below is a 5 A, though)Over to Tony's lad.

Bob Hunter Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Marcus, when you add a few more years you can refer to that condition as CRS.
Marcus H Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I need excuses now, I must have it prematurely
Mike Huxley Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) Photo #19 is a captured naval Sopwith Camel which was flown by Oblt Otto Kissenberth. On May 29 1918 he crashed in this aircraft and was injured. Photo #21 is another aircraft flown by Kissenberth, although I can't work out what it is at the moment. I believe the aircraft with the 4 bladed prop is a Siemens-Schuckert DIII simular to the one flown by Ernst Udet. Edited November 23, 2005 by Mike Huxley
