Langdon:
The term "on or about" is non-specific, it means two or three days either way!
At the beginning of this discussion on another thread, I was unaware of the MvR combat reports and my documentation was from sources I have previously listed on the thread. My conclusions are listed on Post #222 on page 23, and in almost all of the listing are from statements made by Alex Imrie from his book, "The Fokker Triplane".
None of these conlusion were dependent on the MvR combat reports.
Had these reports stated that DR.I 477/17 was painted all red we would not be having this discussion! Would we??
My doubts about the MvR combat reports would not have been any different. My doubts were in the translations of the narratives when compared with those translations made by Floyd Gibbons's in his "The Red Knight of Germany". The translator of the MvR combat reports did not follow the format of the German combat report form and finally the only one you list, the style of the date of the reports.
After I had e-mailed the PRO and received a reply that the did know the origins of these reports, increased my doubt about their authenticity of the reports. With your report from the PRO that providing the origins of the combat reports certainly give credibilty to the MvR combat reports. It will interesting to see if the reports you get are the same as Peter Kilduff''s or the same as the one I have.
I do not have a recollection about the painting of the upper wing on F.I 103/17? For your information F.I 103/17 was never at Lechelle. It did not exist after 23 September 1917.
I believe Alan Toelle is only referring to the fuselage, not the wings. The wings were made at Perzina and would have been delivered to Fokker Flugzeugwerke, covered and painted in the sreaked camouflage.
In regard to answers, I have answered everyone of you questions and answers right or wrong, I have not ignored any of your posts, directed to me. So let's try to be a little more accurate in your statements about me.
Blue skies,
