James A. Pratt III · 29 October 2009, 01:45 PM

Does anyone have any info on who made ace/kanoe by getting 5 or more victories flying the Fokker E IV (4 please do not include the earier victories in the Fokker E I, II, III).

I believe Boelcke,

Max Immelmann and Wintgens probably did
I know Parchau and Von Althaus flew this type of aircraft
I believe

Kurt Student got his first 3 victories flying a E IV

Losses and KIAs
22 Sep 16 Ltn Karl Albert KIA by 40 and 25 Squadrons RFC
25 Sep 16 Wintgens KIA by Heurtaux SP 7

Wrecks
13 Dec 15 M Immelhemenn wrecked on
23 Aug 16 Ltn Freidrich Grunberg FFA9b pranged 641/15

Does anyone one know of any othe Fokker E IVs shot down or wrecked?

Sorry, I am not able to answer your question! A brief note only related to Fok. E.IV 641/15 W.Nr.478.
May be it is about Lt.d.R. Friedrich Grünzweig?

Just a note about Immelmann's Dec, 1915 crash.

This probably involved an E.II. He did not receive his first Fokker E.IV (127/15) until Jan 16, 1916.

No... Yavor is correct w/ Grünzweig (or if no umlaut available on keyboard... Gruenzweig, which is correct spelling sans umlaut.)
(ü = ue)

Diacritical marks are important to preserve as they are the proper spelling.

Ach du lieber! Get Sharks Among Minnows by Norman or Early German Aces by Greg.

Better yet, buy both!
