But he was also trained on Albatros B.I, B.II, B.III and C. XII,
on Rumpler B-types and on DFW B-types.

Yavor, you are correct. The C is written like a b, I already wondered. But it's a C, of course!

Thanks for all the help guys!!!

Does anybody know what planes FAA217 were using for the last couple of months of the war?
Id like to attempt a model of the correct type that he would have flown to display with the docs.

cheers

Glenn
