Sources.
Langdon:
I believe I answered your question in my post #167, however, I'll restate my primary sources. If you wish to review all the sources, I refer you to Over The Front, Vol.3, No 3," Manfred Frieherr von Richthofen His Aeroplanes and Victories" page 246.
Rick Duiven, Jasta 2 and Jasta 11 war diaries.(unpublished)
Heinz Nowarra, Von Richthofen and the Flying Circus.
Floyd Gibbons, The Red Knight of Germany.
Alex Imrie, German Fighter Units 1914-May 1917.
Alex imrie, German Fight Units June 1917-1918.
Karl Bodenschatz, Jagd in Flandern Himmel.
Heinz Nowarra and Kimbrough Brown list aircraft type and number begining with Alb.D.II 491/16. The serial numbers are not listed for his early Alb.D.III machines. I believe that Nowarra and Floyd Gibbons had access to some of MvR original German combat reports.
Floyd Gibbons had MvR's combat reports from victory 17 to 68. Those reports did not identify his machine or its color. In some cases he referred to his "red Albatros" in the narrative.
The above were my basic sources and those in red the most important sources. There were a total of 17 sources listed under References.
Blue skies,
