Fellow Forumites:
I have reasons to suspect that the Boelcke crash photo isn't actually of Boelcke's crash but is of someone else. I have both "Knight of Germany" and "An Aviator's Fieldbook". In the later, there is a photo of Boelcke suited up prior to his last flight (in obvious winter gear). In the "Illustrated Red Baron" photo, he is laying on the ground in front of the plane wearing what appears to be warm weather gear. Also, in the "Knight of Germany",
Erwin Boehme was quoted as saying that if he had been belted in tighter he would have survived the 'not so bad crash'. In this photo there's no plane left, it looks disintegrated!?!?
Curious in Idaho,
Butler
