I had compared the number of days that it took between the acceptance date to that dispatched date on the Dr.I's and found that it varied a lot.

Only a hand full took less then 7 days before they were dispatched.
The next grouping would take 10-16 days before they were dispatched.
Then the next group would take 20-26 days before they were dispatched.

During the grounding of the Dr.I's it took about 42-44 days days before they were dispatched, this is to be expected.

Now I only have a few of the delivery dates for October 20th delivery that took only 7-10 days to transported to the Armee Flugpark, unloaded, rebuilt, test flown (?) the picked up by the assigned Jasta.

I only bring this up to what was happening on the delivery's up to around January of 1918. Since we don't have (or should I say I don't have) the dispatched dates for the missing months I speculate that it would take about the same number of days for the D.VII's too.

Dave, do you know if Peter Grosz had anything on the "F" (BMW motor) reference not to mention Taz or Greg.

BTW, great thread...
