Anyone have some photos and/or profile for Jasta 28 planes? I've got the one of Max Müller from Osprey. If there are some books that that have a good grouping of them, I'd like to know that as well so I can pick them up.
Thanks!

There's a couple of pictures in Osprey's Albatros Aces part 2, including a lineup photo of 7 planes.
And oh, there's a profile of an Ernst Hess D.III in there as well.
...and in part one there's a profile Otto Hartman's D.III
Whilst we are on Osprey chaps, can you clear up for me which aircraft are covered in the two volumes, as I need info on the early Albs.
Rob.
If you mean colour plates, both of them have D.III and D.V with a couple of D.II and D.Va thrown in.
In their Aviation Elite Units 26 (on Jasta Boelcke), there's 4 D.I plates and 2 D.II.
Thanks Niclas. That is just what I needed and Jasta Boelcke was on my wants list anyway.Quote:

I wondered about the Schäfer one not seeming to have the yellow tailplane with black stripes, so went to my Osprey to see if it mentioned something about this. It didn't, but it had a short quote from Max Müller which contained a couple of interesting scraps of info.
- Schäfer was killed when the British targeted his machine because its red fuselage made them think it was Richthofen.
- Müller, having acquired some reputation himself, had his plane repainted every other week so as not to become a target like this.
Rob,
another page of a web site dedicated to a few Jasta 28 profiles

Thanks again Attilio.
Rob.
Great site Attilio!Quote:

I've no issue with the last version of IE. Perhaps I don't understand your question.Quote:

On the bright side there is, as you say, some great stuff on bombers and two-seaters in the German section. Really great find, Attilio!
Niclas, the site's navagation is totally broken, try starting off with this page: http://www.fun-modellbau.de/ww1-datenbank/REFERENCES/indices.htm.
Thanks for the continued help on finding Jasta 28 planes for me!
That link I just posted will not help very much, you have to really did through the URl manually. However, those are all profiles that are on the Bob Pearson CD that I have posted in the Trade/Sale section as a special buy to our members.... it looks like that site blatantly placed the whole CD on line. They may have been told to remove most of the content, hence the broken links.
Oh, that's interesting!Quote:

Definitely goes on my list - Thanks for the tip Col!
I have the CD offered here on the site my self and I think it is a very good value if you want profiles. The fact that you can look them up via plane type or by unit is very handy!
Ok I agree ;)Quote:
