Tobias, I can't add a lot. Don't even know his date of birth. But this is what I have.

Rittm. Friedrich Karl Tassilo Prinz of Prussia, Pilot:
FEA 11 __________ ('16)
FA 258(A) _______ (Jan17) - 21Mar17 WIA,POW Vaulx
FA 258(A) Stv. C.O. (Mar17) - 21Mar17
________________ - 7Apr17 DOW St. Etinne du Rouvry

There was a short article in either C&C or OTF recounting his final flight (he was flying with Jasta 2), plus at least one letter he wrote to his mother regarding his capture. Don't know the issue. Anyone? R.

Prinz Friedrich Karl von Preussen

Hallo Tobias,

im PROPELLERBLATT Nr.5 hat Michael Schmeelke einen Artikel mit dem Titel " Der Letzte Flug des Friedrich Karl von Preussen" geschrieben.
Hier kann man die Umstände die zum Abschuß und zur Gefangennahme des Prinzen lesen.

Gruß
Reinhard

I have.........

...... a number of photographs of the Prince in his plane, including the one used in Neal O'Conner's book. Yes, the original of this same photo is now in my hands. I believe I have now secured all the material this seller was ripping out and piece-mealing. Fotos to follow.......
