The Marine Schusta I and II escorted Küsta III and IV. It's all right there in "Schlachtflieger". However to answer your immediate question the initial C.O. when Küsta III was formed on 23Sep17 was Oblt.d.R. Fritz Schwarzlose. They remained at Uitkerke until they pulled back to Eeklo on 16Oct18. They're normal complement was 6 aircraft. R.

Just a few additions :
Order to create the unit came on 14 September 1917, 3 units under the command of Kap.lt. Franz Schröter. Originally Oblt.d.S.L. Schwarzlose started with 5 HFT planes at the III Kusta. Lt.d.R.d.M.A. Leffler took over 19 March 1918. In may 1918 there were 6 planes per unit. Left Uitkerke on the 6th October.
