Olham The barmy Bordeaux-red Baron from Berlin Member Registered: 08/24/11 Posts: 1049	The first and last shot of the R.E.8 are brilliant, and good angles! But of course the Albatros D.V or D.Va is even more fascinating for me - Lady Albatros makes my heart jump! Interesting combination: late war crosses, but green-mauve camouflage instead of Lozenge. The serial number is quite a late one - I think it should have had Lozenge. But then they may have built and painted it after a photograph.

Olham The barmy Bordeaux-red Baron from Berlin Member Registered: 08/24/11 Posts: 1049	Damn, you're right - the last craft has no gunner. Different serial no. Were there types without rear defense?

Olham The barmy Bordeaux-red Baron from Berlin Member Registered: 08/24/11 Posts: 1049	I interprete that "Fee" picture differently. The gunner is the forward guy, and he operates a forward gun. For rear defense, he would operate the other. The gloves are just hung to the reaward MG. The "helmet" is actually the pilot (either wearing a woolen face mask or is hard to recognise in the photo) No one missing.

Hauksbee Junior Member Registered: 10/13/10 Posts: 57	Originally Posted By: Olham Damn, you're right - the last craft has no gunner. The RE-8 directly above your post shows only a pilot. But the last one in the second batch appears to have a gunner in the front seat. Are these the same plane? I can't tell. These are all great pics. It's a good feeling to see so many WWI replicas flying these days. Now, if a decent percentage of them could gravitate to working in film, we could break the stranglehold of the much-modified Tiger Moth!

Hauksbee, The plane you are on about is actually a BE2 series aircraft, but I know what you are one about as I had to double check and it was only the position of the observer/gunner that gave it away. Wodin, If you have any more pictures of the SE5a's I would love to see them.
