Oh, so someone actually reads this stuff....

Yes, I know about. I have to rewrite that whole page. Their are a lot of errors in the wording on that page. I will update it soon after I'm done working on the Fokker Dr.I data files.

Thanks....

Indeed!

A sincere thank you for making your work available!

I have just been rereading Osprey's "Fokker Dr I Aces of WW I" by Norman Franks/Greg van Wyngarden. I found some slight deviations to your data regarding Jasta 14.

On the bottom of page 77 the authors write, that Jasta 14 received the tripe in January, whereas your list starts at February. On page 78 Norman and Greg write, that Jasta 14 never flew the tripe exclusively, whereas you/your sources state that it was flown exclusively in July/August.

This is not meant as undue criticism but rather as an encouragement to continue with your research!
