Looking for photos or profiles of Jasta 10 Fokker D.VIIs

As the title says, I'm looking for photos or profiles of Jasta 10 Fokker D.VIIs. Anyone have any or know where to find them?

Thanks.

Herr Oberst, Biggles and I have been indexing the profiles in various Osprey books. This spreadsheet should help you...

So far, for Jasta 10 D.VII's we've seen Heldmann, Aue, Laumann, Lowenhardt and two different birds for Friedrichs, all profiled in AOA #53 Fok. D.VII Aces of WWI Part 1.

Thanks DB. I've got those and also the one of Heldmann in the Osprey Duel #17. This one has an all blue fuselage and a blue and white checkered elevator.

Does anyone know if Jasta 10 went to yellow and blue markings in late 1918, or would it most likely be just his personal plane?

Heldmann's 244/18 had a checkerboard tailplane, but was standard streaky Fokker Green.

Might I suggest that somebody over at the other Aerodrome might know? I think I've seen Greg VanWyngaarden and several of the other Osprey authors active over there...

Interesting. That is not the same bird as in Dual 17 (4264/18, Oct 1918). The other Aerodrome is a great resource, but I wanted to leverage this site first

Neil, have a source for those last two?

It is worth noting that the "monogram" on Heldmann's is in dispute, based on careful magnification of photos from the flight where LvR borrowed it Greg VanWyngaarden thinks it's just a repair and repaint of the upper wing fabric.
