    Your pictures have answered a question for me, "How do you tell the difference between a Siemens-Schuckert DIII and a DIV?" The answer is that on a DIV the top wing is narrower than the bottom wing.

    Have you looked at my latest "How to" Barry. Must be on the same wavelength again.

    Lovely...Hope Ares is reading, I think Angillio once posted the SS D.III/IV in Series 7.

    Not quite, it's about the same. The top wing on the D.III is much broader than the bottom one.



    It's the one major mistake I've seen on the Nexus cards.

    There is a poem about the Siemens-Schuckert. I found it in 'First of the Many - The story of the Independent Force, R.A.F.' by Alan Morris Phase III chapter 8. It is attributed to Capt. Waterous D.F.C.. It goes

    "It's not the Pfalz or the Fokker scout,
    It's the Siemens Schuckert that we worry about.
    They do fly high - with the beaucoup speed,
    And we can thank our stars it's pilots they need."

    It is a very cool aircraft. I really like the late war Geman planes.

    I agree it looks pretty cool.
    Could fancy one to the rest of my Jasta 15.

    Thanks for the little poem David.
    I am collecting any of these relating to the Pilots of the Great War.
