Title: D.VII group build profile question
Post by: guitarlute101 on July 21, 2014, 11:41:10 PM

Hi again everyone,

   I wanted to do this scheme for the D.VII group build and I wanted to know if anyone had any more info on this one? OAW? I've checked all of my references and the net and haven't found it.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Thanks Richard, that's a huge help.  It figures that Windsock Fokker Anthology 3 is the only one I don't have.  :D

  Mark,   
    The Albatros DVa that Richard refers to is actually on Pheon's 32011 Sheet, Albatros DV & DVa Volume 1 It is Profile #7 there and displays the identical band marking. Rowan's write up states it's from Jasta 59b, Sept 1918, Pilot Lt. Lehmann of which little is known. The ALB is Serialed 7352/17, described as "quite long lived" so I'd speculate Lehmann switched to your DVII taking his personal marking with him in late 1918.
  Main Reference quoted is a photo on Pg. 19 of the NASM Albatros book.
Hope this is of some help.
Cheers,
Lance
