Acceptance dates and delivery to the Jasta.
Hi Dave:
The date of acceptance is the date the Bau Nr.13 at Fokker Flugzeugwerke had accepted the aircraft after a test flight and thorough inspection at Schwerin in Meckenberg. At this point it may et there several days before the Army personnel have disassembled the machine and loaded on a flat bed railway car. It could be a week before the train is made up and transported to the Armee Flugpark. There it had to be unloaded, moved to the hangars, inspected for transit damage and re-assembled, test flown and picked by the pilots from the assigned assigned Jasta. This process could be not less than two weeks and as much as three weeks before the machine is at the assigned Jasta. Idflieg assigned the aircraft to a specific Jasta by way of the Armee Flugpark. Dave, I tend to be conservative with assigments.
Blue skies Dave,
Dan-San
