JohnFitz,

This Leaman Dr.I book's drawing of the fairing is completely WRONG! The Dr.I had a fixed fairing, with NO such fittings for removal, unlike Albatros and O.A.W.-built D.VIIs! The ONLY Dr.I fittings on the fairing were two jack pads located under the bottom outer ends, as shown here (note the caster oil drips). This book has MANY drawing errors for the Dr.I, but it is still a real nice book with lots of original photos and renderings.

Regards, Gary Sewall
