Langdon:
Egon Krueger was the Alex Imrie of the 50s through the 70s. he has not gotten the credit he deserves. Peter Grosz collaborated with him when they did the Pfalz book in 1964. It was a real "WOW" then.
What Dave has come up with here regarding DR.I 477/17 really clarifies the issue. I have the "Combat Reports" for the Dr,I 477/17. What is it you wish?
The physical description of the machine is incorrect. It has it with thr red upper surface of the top wing, red engine hood, struts, wheel covers and empennage. It was these reports that suddenly appeared at the Public Records Office that everyone hung their hat on as being true translations without provendence. With what Dave has come up with has destroyed any validity these reports had, and just substantiates the doubts I had about them. All the dates in the reports are in the month/day/ year form.

From "Jagd in Flanern Himmel" Jage Nr.1 moved from Avenes-le-Sec to Awoingt on 20 March 1918. From Awoingt to Lechelle in the afternoon of 26 March 1918. With operations beginning the morning of 27 March.
While Alex Imrie had given the date of the photos as 26 March 1918, I think it was probably 27 March 1918. I have had the opportunity to see the complete set of the photos taken at Lechelle Airfield in the Peter Grosz Archiv.
