Ltn. Heinrich Bussing Kest 4B?
(http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l346/DeLano80/D3/Albatros-DIII-Ltn_Heinrich_Bussing_SN1999-16-Kesta4b-600px_zpstglcr66k.png)
A long time ago i started researching this man and his flying machine. I planned on using the Roden D.III in 1/32. I chose this profile because I wanted to paint all of the markings except for the serial number and Albatros logo. In the last ten years, I have lost the small amount of information I had about this man and aircraft. I remember I had at least one and possibly two pictures of Heinrich and his mother (I think) with this airplane. Does anyone know where I can find them? I also remember not knowing what the camouflage pattern was on the wings and tailplane. I know he flew for Kest 4B. I also have jotted down for some reason the serial numbers 1949/16 and 1999/16 which is in conflict with Boucher's profile. I think I found evidence of a different serial number. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Anybody? NO? Okay. Me either.

Can't recall coming across this machine or the man who flew, but I'll look out for you as I am trying to reorganize my "archives".

I think that is a different aircraft you are referring to... I did have a couple of pictures of him standing in front of White 4. At least I think the 4 is white! But you did prove that someone has information on him somewhere.
Thanks for the replies. Everything is appreciated!
