    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

    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 :speechless:

    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.

    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.
