Short, but very entertaining, I watched it twice with my morning coffee and it's well worth it, thanks for sharing your "find"!
Cheers,
Lance

An interesting little film. Wish it was a bit clearer.
Can anyone identify the Jasta(s) or markings.
A few machines seem to have the same dark front fuselage/lighter rear.

Individual markings:
1) at 2:06 dark fuselage with black/white quartered square on fuselage and top wing.
   Or maybe red/white ?

2) 2:14 dark front fuselage/lighter rear, white cross, dark diamond with  2 white bars.
      The cross might be overpainted ?

3) Light fuselage with black/white checkerboard and striped fuselage band.
   I've seen this one in one of my books.

4) 2:27 dark front fuselage/lighter rear, black trident in front of cross.

5) 2:42 large white 'L' on fuselage. A Jasta 5 machine is similar ??

6) 2:51 & 2:58 white fuselage band with diagonal dark stripe

7) 2:51 dark front fuselage/lighter rear, dark zig-zag fuselage band

Thanks for any comments.
Cliff
