Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could decipher the signatures on these documents?

Thanks in advance,

Matt.

[Dave Danner]

The 4th one, from Bavarian Flieger-Abteilung 45, is August Dittmar.

[Mattyboy]

Thanks Dave!

[Mattyboy]

I think the 5th one, from FA (A) 238 is Hptm Künne...?

[Soderbaum]

Hi Matt

The first should be Hptm Eduard Dransfeld. He later became an General during WW2.

Gunnar

[Mattyboy]

Thanks Gunnar.

I have a few more - please see attached.

Thanks & regards,

Matt.

[Soderbaum]

Hi Matt

From the first list of photos nr 2 should be Hptm Funck, nr 3 Protzen von Schramm. I am uncertain regarding nr 6.

Gunnar

[Mattyboy]

Hi Gunnar,

Thank you.

[Mattyboy]

Dear all,

Can anyone help with the second group of photos?

I think that the last name (Kommandeur der Flieger 2) is Seraphim, but what about the others?

And who's signature is against photo number 6 from the first grouping?

Thanks a lot,

Matt.

Post 7, third picture should be: Oefele

Uwe

[Soderbaum]

Hi Matt

Post 8 and 9 are the Bavarians Lichtenberger and Oefele.

I am unsure regarding Post 7.

Gunnar

[Mattyboy]

Hi Uwe & Gunnar,

Thank you very much for your answers

Regards,

Matt.

[Mattyboy]

Dear all,

I have another couple of docs for your perusal

They are from Fliegerabteilung 11 and Fliegerabteilung (A) 247.

Thanks,

Matt.

[Soderbaum]

Hi Matt

Signature nr 12 should be Hptm Holdermann.

The signature from FA 11 is hard to read(for me).

Gunnar

[Mattyboy]

Thank you Sir.

[jaba1914]

Leader of AFP 4 is Hptm Werner Funck.

Leader of FA 45b is Hptm August Dittmar (see signed picture below)

Kofl 2 was M Victor Seraphim

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the information. That is a super photo!

I searched for more details about the career of August Dittmar, however I couldn't find anything...

Do you happen to have any knowledge of his wartime postings / promotions?

Happy new year!

Matt.

[Mattyboy]

Hello again,

I have another signature which I would like identified, if someone would be so kind.

It is of a Hauptmann and Stabsoffizier der Flieger in 1915.

Thanks and regards,

Matt.

[Mattyboy]

Dear all,

I'm also having a problem with this signature from Kofl 8. Can anyone make out the name please?

Thanks,

Matt.

[Mattyboy]

Hello everyone,
Tried posting this on The Aerodrome, but have had no luck so far...
Can anyone make out the signature of this Hauptmann and CO of Riesenflugzeug-Ersatz-Abteilung Köln in 1918?

Thanks a lot,
Matt.

[Mattyboy]

Hi,

Ok, I am going to post some more documents that are unidentified (at least to me).

Firstly, Fliegerabteilung A 215.

[Mattyboy]

Next, Fliegerabteilung 34.

[Mattyboy]

Fliegerabteilung A 237.

[Mattyboy]

Last one for now - Flieger Ersatz Abteilung 5.

If anyone knows, or would like to guess at any of these names then please do so.

Thanks a lot,

Matt.
