Color information for aircraft serving in Palestine
First, I need a little help on piecing together a combat over Sinai, on the 30 of October, 1917. A Bristol Fighter of no. 14 squadron piloted by Lieutenant Peck with Lieutenant Lloyd-Williams as observer, shot down a German two-seater which was observing allied troops below. Later that night, the wreckage of the German plane was found, and pictures were seized revealing that Allenby was marching toward Beersheba. Allenby’s surprise of attack would have been known to the Turks if not for the Bristol crew; thus, preserving his plans.
Any of you out there have some knowledge in this field of W.W.I aerial combat? I need to find out just what type of German “spotter” was encountered and shot down by the Bristol crew; along with the colors, serial numbers and markings of both aircraft.
Albatros C-IIIs in Palestine
This is a simple request for color information depicting any Albatros C.IIIs from the Ottoman Empire during W.W.I.
