Cigogne,

that's really interesting. Did von Chelius really use a parachute when he jumped from his burning Albatros DVa on 14 Sep 1917?
I have a note that he got seperated from his patrol and joined in error a combat patrol of 48.Sqdn. RFC and was shot down in flames by 2/Lts. KR Park and H Owen.

Do you have more info regarding his parachute jump. I always thougt he decided to jump from his crippled plane to avoid the flames... ???

Regards, Immo
