Pick up both of Greg van Wyngardens books on JG1. The first was from albatros publications, and the second from Osprey. Both have valuable info on Jasta 4, including personal pilot info, combat reports etc. IHTH,
RAGIII

Thanks for the recommendation, Rick!
 Of course, I would also recommend that you should go directly to the primary source, Jagd in Flanderns Himmel by Bodenschatz, and/or the superb translation by Jan Hayzlett, Hunting with Richthofen; the Bodenschatz Diaries. By all means seek out Peter Kilduff's awesome The Red Baron Combat Wing, (Arms & Armour, 1997), a wonderfully researched and footnoted history of JG I.The Grub Street series is vital, especially The Jasta War Chronology by Duiven, Franks and Bailey.

Unfortunately I am only working for dry sort of research. I got few books on my hands (one of them signed by Norman Franks)) I find those tiny aircrafts and people really fascinating - the more I read, the more exciting they seem to me. |

My guess about Roger is that he is better known from after WWI, starting at 1920 something. You can write guys in French forums asking to translate. I would be interested to know the result
