Hi Dave:
When the Flugzeugmeisterei ordered aircraft, they also ordered spare engines at some ratio to the some number of aircraft to furnished to the units in the field. This allocation would be through Motorenbau Abteilung, (Moba) who were reponsible for furnishing engines to the aircraft factories. What I am curious about, is whether BMWIIIa furnished to The Jagdstaffeln i the field. What got me thinking about this the BMWIIIa engines that were sent Fokker twice. Either an engine was taken out of a wreck or the engine had been replaced as being worn or damaged, whatever. I have never seen the spares requirements for engines aside from the Engine Repair Kit. I would think the engines would be held at Armee Flugpark. This is turning into a very interesting thread.
Blue skies Dave,
