Imperial Aircrew Flugbuch

[nedkelly1973]

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.

I saw several types of cover and size. I think there were many types of Flug(tage)buecher.

Not spoken about the provisional books used.
