Ltn. Heinrich Bussing's Albatros D.III
« on: April 13, 2016, 11:50:55 AM »
Ltn. Heinrich Bussing Kest 4B?

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!

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!
