Markings for Ehrlich (France), Joseph (RAF) and Frankl (German)

I posted this in the People forum since I didn't know this one existed!

Hello all, I'm new to your community and am very glad to find you! I'm a long time modeler with an interest in WWI aviation, but I've been a little scared to actually try to build some of the excellent new kits out there. Hopefully, I've found something to motivate me.

A very interesting web site out there is Jan Safarik's Aces site (http://math.fce.vutbr.cz/safarik/ACES/index.html). He has lists of aces compiled under a number of different categories, and under the Israel category he has Jewish aces of various nationalities. He states that the high scoring British Jewish ace of WWI is Solomon Clifford Joseph of 10 RNAS/210 RAF Squadron and the French ace is Jacques Louis Ehrlich. of N/Spa 154. Does anyone know where I can find markings for these pilots?

Interestingly, he lists Rudolf Berthold as Jewish (as well as Robert Stanford Tuck of the RAF in WWII!) (Rammjaeger in People told me Berthold is wrong and Safarik probably confused him with a different Berthold) Hmm... Anyway, anyone who can steer me to Wilhelm Frankl's Albatros markings would help too.

Thanks all!

Over the Front( Vol.2, issue 1) had an article about SPA 154 which included a profile for one of Erlichs spads. As for Frankl of Jasta 4 Americal Gryphon has a drawing of a very basic albatros plus decals included in their Jasta 4 decal series. I do not know where they got the info. IHTH,

Thanks for the info!

Unfortunately, I do not have access to those sources. Can anyone help me out with that?

Thanks again!
