Albatros DIII 700 series

[stefanbuss]

Friends,

where can I find good photos of the 700 series's underbelly? I have the Windsock datafile special on the DIII, but that does not show the underside of any DIII (Johannisthal or OAW) in a useful manner. I would like to see the openings for the MG casings and the area where the stiffening wires for the undercarriage protrude.

Regards,

Stefan

I looked at many of my references this a.m., so far I came up with nothing you can use.

A possible lead though from the Jagdstaffel 5 vol 1 WS book. There are three pictures of Max Böhme's D.III (OAW) on a cart, wingless, after it was captured, with the wheels at eye level or above. One aspect is tantalizing close to what you need, just... not quite. The caption says there were many other photos taken of this machine at the time -- perhaps another from just a slightly different angle exists out there...

(it's this aircraft):
