Hmm, he kind of reminds me of Olham for some strange reason...
The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...

Uniforms are made for that reason, Rick - to make the individuals all look the same.

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.
