[b]By the way, I believe that the straight-sided Balkenkreuz seen on the balloon is a small error too. I've never seen anything but Iron Crosses on German balloons, no matter the date. Even though the airplanes changed their cross styles in April 1918, I don't think this change was effected on balloons - can anyone prove me wrong with a photo?

Greetings all,
Mr.VanWyngarden raises an interesting point here. Can anyone verify if the German balloon corp were also required to update to the Balkenkreuz on their AE type balloons? (Dan-San?). I've contructed a diorama that may need revision  .TIA!
