Thanks James for the link to the brilliant photos, there are only around half a dozen that I had seen before.

What is this thing??? It is labeled "Albatros", but it doesn't look like any Albatros C type I know of. ??




Edit: maybe Ivo knows, it seems to maybe have Dutch insignia on the tail?

Looks like maybe Czech insignia ... ??

At least one of those pics comes straight out of a Windsock Datafile - the last one of the N28 cockpit with the guns removed - how many of the others are copyright infringements too?

very neat collection jamo, thanks as always for "what you do" for us pretty much constantly. i havent looked thru every page yet but i have seen many of the famous shots, many are featured in windsock datafiles or other books,i love books almost as much as i love planes so i have a fair share of them. as far as that albatros? bo idk but it does require some looking into. it looks like a dv fuselage but with a winter cowl and diff wings/strut array.maybe some sort of 2 seater experimental made from a dv fuselage. i am at a loss.maybe ask ray about that one.

Nonetheless there is a lot to be seen that shouldn't be posted there - taken from books or other webpages (Mark Miller's, as an example).
Bad style that is.
