Hi,

This unit worked together for quite a while with the Marine Landflieger units. They were stationed at Handzame airfield and must have arrived at the end of october 1914. I know of a number of their activities, but would like to know when they left and who was exactly in command. Thanks !

Hi Regulus

The first commander of FFA 40 was Hptm Adolf-Victor von Koerber who seems to have stayed until May 1915...he was succeded by the later well known Bufe...

Regulus,

FFA 40 was moved with the train via Berlin-Aachen-Brüssel-Gent to the 4th Army from 19.-23. October. Ready for action on 24. October (and also first loss if I remember correct).
FFA 40 had 5 Fokker A and 1 Albatros-DD.

Hope that helps.
