First Eagles - WWI and Early Years - Skins

This is my second skin for release. I am especially fond of the Bruno Loerzer
color scheme. It was one of my best 1/48 models which I completed about 50 years ago. That version eventually found its way into a museum in Connecticut.
When last seen it was in a display case next to a genuine Blue Max.
 
Bruno Loerzer, commanded Jasta 26 and then JG3. He got 44kills and survived both WWI and WWII. Loerzer died in 1960.
 
Simply drop the folder into your AlbatrosD5a folder next to the other skins and
you should be good to go. No need to edit the ini file, but you will need to select
the skin in the loading screen.
 
Thanks to TK for the base template for Jasta 26; that made this job a lot easier.
 
If you have any comments or suggestions, I’d like to have them. Please post on the Combat Aces First Eagles board or PM me there.
 
Have fun with it.
 
Please no distribution or republication.

The Enemy Ace package one Enemy Ace Skin and it's pilot Von Hammer-The Hammer of Hell Skin,all skins are
 
just repaints of Thirdwires original skins form the expansion I hope they approve and I thank them to all
 
ends for this great game.

This is an updated version of the Voss-Richthofen file.
This removes the uwnanted numbers on the side of Voss' plane and gives Firecage his dues.
 
In this package are the skins for Werner Voss' Fokker DRI and Richthofens early all red tripe with the Maltese Cross'. I am also providing two(2) missions to use these planes in. One mission is a 2 on 6 battle 2 DRIs vs 6 Camels.The other mission is a rendition of Voss' last fight on Sept.23, 1917.
 
Please Read the Mission Brief in the mission folder. It will give you the background of the missions.
 
Enjoy!

(S!) ALL hi ;-)
 
This is a Fokker EV of Jasta 36 Chambly aerodrome August 1918 pilot unknown.
Harry von Bülow, who flew with Jasta 36, wrote to historian W R Puglisi around 1961:
"The English pursuit pilots called our group 'The Blue Noses'
And from that statement you can conclude that the noses of Jasta 36 planes were painted blue.
 
 
 
Special thank you to Laton for giving me the opportunity to work
With him again on this plane its been a great working with you.
 
 
Enjoy!!! ;-)

Jasta 13 Ltn Franz Büchner's Fokker DVII (serial unknown), circa October 1918. This requested skin features four-color irregular polygon camouflage, Jasta 13's white-striped green/blue colors, and Büchner's flamboyant heraldry.
 
See READ ME for installation instructions, etc.

RFC Nieuport 17 C.1
 
This is simply the Monty CZ Nieuport 17 C.1 with modified markings.
 
The basic install will give black letters and serial numbers, but options are included
for black or coloured aircraft numbers and letters.
 
 
Thanks to Monty for permitting this upload.

British Nieuport serials
 
These are sets of serials to replace the inaccurate plain ones on my RFC Nieuport 17 and RNAS Nieuport 11 skins, based on Monty_CZ's originals.
 
Both sets are in the correct general range, and in the case of the RFC Nieuport 17 selecting an aircraft with no number or letter at the loadout screen stage will give B1566, which was Billy Bishop's aircraft.
 
Thanks to Monty for permitting this upload, and to Serval at Simmerspaintshop for showing me how to do the outlines.

This is my personal SPAD VII now when I piss someone off you can shoot me down.

Here's a little bit of fun for Halloween.
 
I first saw this D.VII marking in a German magazine published in the late 1930s. Later I found it had also been included in a Windsock Datafile Anthology vol III.
 
August Hartmann served late in the war with Jasta 30, after that unit had moved on from the Pfalz D.IIIa and the orange diamond markings that are probably better known than the yellow fuselage and tail seen here. Some believe the nose and tail colors were orange because the previous markings featured that color, but a British intelligence officer reported that the fuselage was brown and the nose and tail were yellow.
 
 
 
 
After only a few weeks service, Hartman was wounded and never had any confirmed victories, so, you can conclude that the witch either helped or saved him!
 
There are two files sets, one for FE and the other for FE2. Just drop the appropriate file set in the Objects folder and you should be good to go. Both the FE and FE2 file sets include Halloween Fokker D7 Loading screens. All you need to do to get rid of them is delete those files. If you have special loading screens for the D7, back those up before installing. If you rely on the stock loading screens, those will reappear as soon as you delete the special Halloween screens.
 
Enjoy!

See READ ME for notes and installation instructions.

Greetings:
 
This skin depicts an HD-1, SN unknown, flown by the top scoring Italian ace, Flavio Torello Baracchini. Barachini flew this plane with 81 Squadriglia Caccia at Casoni in mid to late 1918. The Black Shield version was one of several aircraft with different markings Baracchini used as he accumulated the 33 victories he was credited with during the war. When this was reduced afterwards to 21, Baracchini became extremely bitter about what he regarded as a stain on his honor.
 
The colors and markings are derived from photographs and an excellent profile by Ray Rimell. There is ongoing discussion regarding the colors of the Italian HD-1s. Those built by Macchi were known to be finished in aluminum dope. There is also good evidence that at least some were finished with clear or yellow dope over the linen. This particular aircraft appears to have been a combination, perhaps mating newer wings and the horizontal stabilizer with another fuselage. In any event, the colors are as accurate as research permits. There was wide variation in the paints used by the Italians in the field to apply the national markings. Many used the dark forest green and dark red shown in this skin, while other units used brighter colors. Some even used a red, white, green sequence, rather than green, white red.
 
The model and the excellent template, as well as the cockpit and parts in the layout, were all done by EmlD. Without his outstanding work, patience and guidance, this skin would never have been possible.
 
This skin is based on a collaboration, but the paints and markings you see depicting this aircraft are entirely my responsibility, and my time machine is no longer operational. This is an interpretation, a well-grounded interpretation, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws.
 
Have fun with it. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material. At the time of this release no information was available as to the serial number for this plane. If you have such info, please pass it along.
 
Because there is another skin depicting a plane flown by Baracchini, I have modified the name in the texture set. Just drop the folder in your HD-1_ITA folder folder and select Baracchini Black in the loadout screen.
 
There is no need to edit the ini.
 
Please no distribution or republication of any part of these files. There is a lot of unique detail that took a lot a time to research, compile and work into the skin. For that reason, these parts are not available for further use.
