Rumpler C. I a (Han) 4584/16 built by Hannoversche Waggonfabrik A.G. with 180 P.S. Argus As.III engine
Two Seater by Wooway1, on Flickr

This Albatros was displayed in paris together with lots of other aircraft around the Place de la Concorde. A Jasta 37 aircraft, possibly belonging to OfzStv Löwensen. The square was packed with captured cannons, while at the Tuileries (Louvres) a German observation balloon was displayed together with remnants of a Zeppelin. The occasion for this war booty exposition (held from October 17, 1918 till later in October 1918) was for the French war bond rallye for 1918. Scenes on the streets and squares with lots of war booty has been heavily photographed by (press) photographers. The German aircraft which were still standing on Armistice Day (November 11, 1918) were destroyed and sometimes set to fire by the jubilant crowd.

 Nieuport 17 or 23. Aircraft is being refueled. Look at that crooked spout on the fueling can. The oil tank for the castor oil was mounted right on top of the firewall right behind the engine on the Nieuport. Royal Flying Corps Training Depot Station, Gullane, Scotland.

AEG G.IV with P.u.W. bombs (will we see this marking from WNW?)
German Air War #1 by hliguy, on Flickr

Albatros B type. The timeframe is 1917-18 due to the overpainted aircraft and iron cross markings w/ the white borders around them and is at a training unit. Mercedes engine would've been either a 100 or 120 h.p. D.II.
Aviators in a Two Seater Unit by Wooway1, on Flickr

3-bay wings (three pairs of wing struts for a longer wingspan)... this would indicate an AEG G.V, not a G.IV. G.IVs had a two-bay wing cellule. Same fuselage as the G.IV, though. The tail unit was used by some late G.IV and G.IVk, as well as the G.V. The AEG G.IV was very successful in the night bombing role. It had better performance and handling than the Gotha G-series, but was not used for raids across the English Channel. It was used on the Western and Eastern Fronts.

Thanks as ever James.

I wonder whose funeral procession we are seeing in two of the photos.

Isn't that a delightful image of the Taube? It shows the wing design so beautifully.

Best wishes
Nigel

Thanks, James, for these photos.....as I find myself being sucked deeper into the Black(PC10?)Hole of WWI Aero, I'm finding your pictures to be both helpful and really inspirational.....lots of ideas for dioramas! And the shots of those at TVAL, showing usage, are proving invaluable as I work on this Pup.

Many thanks!

Cheers from NYC,
Michael

   That AEG G.IV looks fascinating. If WNW don't try it I'd bet several here will!
Great content, Jamo. Again Thanks for your efforts.
Cheers,
Lance

Great pics, but at least 2, the Albatros C.III crashed against a building, and the following AEG G.IV with the teeth, are from Windsock Datafiles! There could be a copyright issue here....

The people who post these images are not modellers, they are photo and postcard collectors buying mostly off ebay and other auction sites. The images are generally higher resolution than you would get from scanning a Windsock Datafile. Often these photos have been copied in the past and there are more than one in circulation
