Glenn sent my a picture of the Flugbuch and asked me to show it here.
It shows that the pilot made his basis training on Albatros D.D (a collective name for several Albatros trainers) with 100 and 120 hp Mercedes engines.
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.

Hi Glenn and Hans!
As much as I can read the list is a bit different:
Flugzeugarten, auf denen der Schüler ausgebildet ist.
Albatros D.D. [Doppeldecker] mit 100 u. 120 P.S. Mercedes-Motor.
[Stamp: Fliegerschüle Schneidemühl (Albatros)]
47 Schül-, 67 Allein-, - Vorderflüge [liaison]
Albatros Type B (?)
Alb. B II, B III, C I, C III, C XII
Ru. C I, C Ia, C VIII
DFW C V
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.
