Hi Edward
Offst Karl David (his true name during WW1) actually flew within
Kest 6 then Kest 1a*. The ppl who have translated Hildbrandts books to the net have chosen to translate the name of the units, which I think is a big mistake...
*the Kests (Kampfeinsitzerstaffeln) were like Jastas and were mostly used for home defence protection...also Kest 1 was still not divided into two units when David joined "the" unit in early 1917, which means that Kest 1a still not was created...
