Dave,
Wow. Interesting. I can tell you that I have read 'Hunting with Richthofen' which is a translation of 'Jagd im Flanderns Himmel' (Jan Hayzlett did the translation) This source comes from the records of Karl Bodenschatz, who was the Adjutant of JG1 for its entire WWI existence; according to this source the pilots of JG 1 began to familiarize themselves with the DVII during the week of 20 to 26 May 1918.
I don't remember who, I think it was Hannes who mentioned that pilots of JG1 had their aircraft types and numbers recorded when they scored victories so he may have something more substantial to add..
Regards,
MDD
