Hi Regulus,
If I remember right:
Jastaschule II = Nivelles
Fliegerbeobachterschule West = Tergnier (?)
Riesenfl.-Abt.501 = Scheldewindeke (?)

Hi Regulus
A little side-note, I have R-FA 501 as serving within 4 German Army(Fladers) between 7 May 1918 until 3 Oct 1918..

Hi
I agree with Immo that R-FA 501 where stationed at Scheldewindeke, probably during their whole time within 4 German Army.
What is your notes about "high" losses during their service within 4 Army....I only have notes on two a/c losses through accidents and none due enemy action during their Flanders service..??
???

Hi,
I have unfortunately not noted all the losses at the time of this unit on the Vladslo cemetery, as I did not find that unit important to my research.
But here are some that I do have, that I took as an example :
- Lt.d.R. Martin Bohme + 21 april 1918 at Westrozebeke
- Lt.d.R. Lothar Friedrich +10 may 1918 at Scheldewindeke
- Flieger Alois Langner + 9 may 1918 at Gent
- Uffz. Richard Maiwald + 16 august 1918 at Gent, dead of wounds
- Flieger Richard Oblander + 9 may 1918 at Gent
Don't know if it will of any help to you, or if all is correct.

Hm...
The loss of R 34 on 21 April 1918 when it chrashed because of unknown reason (at least 7 crew where killed included Böhme) indicates that they perhaps served within 4 Army before 7 May 1918....?
....or did they only flew over the area this day..?
The Staken RVI was really a long distance aircraft..
