Who is the Ace for my Dio ?

[TheBlackat]

Hello to you all,

Imagine a Fokker D VII (Alb) to be urgently asked (with a few bullets in the "stomach", or technical problems) in a "no man's land" somewhere .....
Fighter Pilot unscathed, with the only help, a German soldier, who will cover and help him out of this hell of mess ........

Of course, this little scenario is not that of a film, but of a  small Diorama, I'm about to start; For now, inside the Fokker progressing well;
But I am having a big question mark, about markings (or the pilot), Jasta ....?
I do a lot of research, with a few good books, and, of course, the great bank Fotos gallery archive of WNW, Windsock data, net site .... I do not yet acquired the Osprey 2 Aces Fokker, I have some ideas by looking at the three volumes of Fokker DVII Anthology (Albatrosproduction), I thought the board planche decals WNW 30007, 5278/18, "Hertha" Jasta 27, but I doubt very much ...

I want to "stick" the most historically accurate, and I would like for my little Dio , a Fokker with a "Cold" camouflage paint, dark enough ...
And don't make mistake with The Aces !

I need your lights and your help, thank you very much in advance

Sadly I can not help with Fokker pilots, if it was a Sopwith Pup there are plenty of stories and a few photos.

I think I understand your question. As for an Ace, nothing comes to mind that fits the scene. Udet bailed out and had a tough time in No Mans Land but obviously the aircraft crashed. If I were looking at doing this scenario I think I would go with an "Unidentified" pilot but use known Jasta markings, for instance an OAW built DVII with the striped nose and tail of Jasta 6. You can find a squadron that flew Alb. built DVIIs and go from there. Just My Opinion of course. Have fun with your Diorama!

I agree with Rick, very hard to identify one particular 'ace' who would fit your dio but an unidentified pilot would work well, like Rick siad, pick a well known Jasta marking. I'll be looking forward to seeing you develop this diorama.
