JFM, any pics from the Jasta 5 triumvirate? Konnecke, Rumey or Mai? (I have been looking for a Jasta 5 book, but oddly , there isn´t much literature about such a famous unit...).

Jasta 5 books: http://www.windsockdatafilespecials.co.uk/jasta-5-volume-1-19-p.asp and http://www.windsockdatafilespecials.co.uk/jasta-5-volume-2-20-p.asp

I also know there are plans for a new book on Jasta 5 to be released by a different publisher.

Awesome, high quality photos, some of them are new to me, and look great at such a big size. Thanks JFM.

What has called my attention is battle strain in Fritz Rumey´s face. Soon before dead he looked so wasted.

They all seem to get that look at the end. I'm continually amazed that these men could function under that stress for so long.

What a great thread! Those Caudrons are huger than I thought they were.

I'm fascinated by early stuff so I'd say a Taube if you have one.

Thanks Jim!
Not sure I've seen a 'float' Taube before. The DFW taube in photo 3636 looks wonderfully bird like, while the Rumpler Taube in 4175 looks positively modern in comparison.

How about some some of the Fokker Dr.1?
And any photos of J11 personnel would be a bonus when you get a moment.
Thank you.

Those last two are really different, looks like a different empennage and it they have small ailerons instead of wing warping.

Damn, I could swear I posted an answer about the first image here yesterday - but it isn't there.
So again...

I had no idea that there has been an "Albatros" Taube - great image!
Seems the fuselage is already made of plywood, as their later planes?

Once Robert Thelen joined Albatros in 1912 they began moving away from the lattice-type construction and more toward the semi-monocoque designs for which they are known. From what I learned, Thelen teamed up with Helmut Hirth and Hugo Grohmann, and Grohmann is the one who brought the semi-monocoque ideas with him.
