Fok.DR.I 152/17.
Langdon:
I do not accept the translated MvR combat reports as valid documents. there are several errors and inconsistancies in the translations and document format.
In regard to the photo of Fok.DR.I on page 106 of Alex Imries's book, "The Fokker Triplane", no where in the cation to photo 153 does Alex state it was painted all red in the field, in fact he specifically states the opposite, qoute:
"It is not known when this photograph as taken, but this could have been a few months(or even longer) after the aircraft was used, and the period and manner of its storage could explain th detoriation."
Fok.DR.I was never at LeChelle Airfield. There was only one all red Fok.DR.I at LeChelle Airfield, I believe it to be Fok.DR.I 477/17. You believe it to be Dr.I 425/17. What has got in the way of all of this, are the disputible MvR combat reports. Those who accept the reports to be valid, would believe the all red machine is Dr.I 425/17. Then the problem becomes, "where is Dr.I 477/17?"
Blue skies,
Dan
