Mate,
Thanks for the info.
Concerning Lt. Barlow's shootdown on 25 Sept 1917, just haven't seen where Rüdenberg was one of the pilots shot down that day or the story behind it?
Where did you find your info, as I have looked at my notes from ‘Over the Front Vol.16-2001-Summer Issue No.2’ by Dov Gavish, PhD and Dieter H.M. Groschel, M.D – pg 120;‘juedische-geschichte.de’- Jüdische Geschich_Friedrich Rüdenberg; correspondence with Mrs. Elisheva Litan nee Rudenberg sister from Israel; '
The Jasta War Chronology' by Norman Franks, Frank Bailey and Rick Duiven - pg 102; 'The Jasta Pilots' by Norman Franks, Frank Bailey and Rick Duiven - pg 246 .
