Hans Bohning J79b
By sinbad
Greetings:
This skin depicts the camo and markings on Albatros D.Va flown by Lt Hans Bohning of Jasta 79b, operating out of Villers-le-sec in the Spring of 1918. I have relied on the excellent profile by R.N. Pearson as well at the superb image by Mark Miller, as well as other sources. The result you see is entirely my own, and my time machine is no longer operational. This is an interpretation, a well-grounded interpretation, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws.
I became aware this morning that another version of this skin is a work in process. I have been encouraged to post this version now. I am a bit reluctant, but here it is.
Have fun with it. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material.
Just drop the folder in your AlbatrosD5a folder and select Hans Bohning in the loadout screen. There is no need to edit the ini.
Please no distribution or republication.

Stropp
By gumpy
This is a skin of a Albatros DVa that was operational with Jasta 46.It was captured and put on display in Texas for a time it now can be seen at the Smithsonian.It is believed the Stropp Albatros DVa was the aircraft of Uffz Erich Gürgenz flying for JASTA 46 from 10/02/18 till 04/04/18 He achieved 1 victory on 12 march 1918 a SE5a.He was killed in action on 04/04/18 over Liéramont airfield.As far as I can ascertain these facts cannot be verified other sources say the pilot of Stropp Albatros DVa is unknown.For the skin I used the template and some parts from the skins from the expansion I hope TK and Thirdwire approve and I thank them.The other details I added with Photoshop.

Godwin Brumowski Alb D.IIIOAW 153.52 Red
By sinbad
README
Godwin Brumowski (1889-1936) had the most confirmed (35) and unconfirmed (8 downed behind enemy lines) victories among Austria-Hungary's pilots. Brumowski began flying on the Italian front in the spring of 1916. Beginning in April 1916, he got five confirmed victories flying the Albatros B.1, Hansa Brandenburg C-1 and D-1. After studying tactics with Jasta 24 from March 19-27,1917 on the Western Front he returned to the Italian Front and took command of Flik 41J, Austria-Hungary's first true fighter squadron. In August 1917 Brumowski got his first Albatros, D.III Oef 153.06, with a natural finished plywood fuselage topped by green and mustard sworl camo.. In October 1917 Brumowski began flying 153.45, painted red in admiration for Manfred von Richthoven. From November 1917 to April 1918 Brumowski flew 153.52 and 153.45. Initially both were all red with the famous Totenkopf skulls. Sometime during this period, mustard yellow sworls were applied over the red. From November 1917 on, Flik 41J marked their planes with yellow-and-black wheel discs. On February 1, 1918 Alb 153.45 suffered heavy damage in combat and an in flight fire. Three days later, Alb 153.52 was totally destroyed after barely surviving combat with eight British fighters. Alb 153.45 was repaired and flown through April, when it appears to have been retired. In June 1918 Brumowski was flying 153.209 when he was grounded. I found no photos showing the sworl pattern on 153.209. By October 1918, Brumowski was flying a dark brown desk with a green blotter, in command of the Austro-Hungarian air force operating along the Isonzo.
No Hanroit HD-1s were among Brumowskis confirmed or unconfirmed kills.
The Totenkopf, or death head images on the fuselage, and the crosses on the rudder were carefully reproduced from photographs for the aircraft (153.45, 153.52 and 153.209) in this series. The sworled camo is the final rendition of many variations attempted after comparison with photos and other research. All four aircraft and all six paint schemes are included in this series. Choose your favorite.
My time machine is no longer operational. These skins are interpretations, well-grounded interpretations, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws. I am aware of two variations from the photos and other sources. First, some Austrian pilots removed the spinner caps because these occasionally came loose in flight. Second, the rudders depicted are round at the trailing edge, rather than the straight. Both rounded and straight rudders were used on Alb D.III’s, but I would have preferred to use the straight edge type as that is depicted in most photos of Brunowski aircraft. Available models offer neither the straight rudder nor the spinner free versions. Modification of these parts is beyond my present skill. If you can do it, please contact me.
Many sources were consulted in the preparation of these skins, including: Dr. Martin O'Connor, Air Aces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire 1914-1918, Austro-Hungarian Aces of World War 1 by Chris Chant, Mark Rolfe (Illustrator) / Paperback / Osprey Publishing (February 2002), Above the War Fronts by Norman L. R. Franks, Russell Guest, Gregory Alegi / Hardcover / Grub Street (September 1997), Windsock Datafile #19 Albatros D.III (Oef)/ Grosz/Colours & Markings by Ray Rimmel , The Aerodrome Forum, R.N. Pearson profiles and other material on line.
Just drop the folder in your Albatros_D3OAW folder and select the name in the texture set -- Brumowski 15345Red, Brumowski 15345Sworls, etc. in the loadout screen. You can change the names if you like, but be careful; only two words or combination of words and numbers are permitted. There is no need to edit the ini.
These skins are made available only for your personal use. Please no distribution or republication of any part of these files. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material. Have fun.

Albatros DVa Jasta 26 Bruno Loerzer
By sinbad
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.

Alb DVa Leutnant Walter Böning Jasta 19
By sinbad
This skin depicts the camo and markings on Albatros D.Va flown by Leutnant Walter Böning with Royal Prussian Jasta 19, his first assignment, where he downed 6 enemy aircraft between April and October 1917. It has often been misidentified as a plane he flew with Jata 76 later in his career. More than one source incorrectly suggests blue and white Jasta 76 markings (and I did a draft in those colors). Greg VanWyngarden and Bob Pearson both hold what I believe is the better view, rendered here, with the yellow and black horizontal stabilizer of Jasta 19 and red trim for the fuselage markings.

Flik 42 Camo
By sinbad
This skin is my first released work. The skin attempts to depict the camo and markings on Albatros DIII OEF 253.64. This plane was flown by Korporal Geza Keisz of Flik 42j in August 1918. The OEF Alb DIII had two spars in the lower wing and thus avoided the problems with wing failure associated with the original design. The 253 series had the 220hp Daimler engine and was preferred by some pilots even in 1918 over other more recent aircraft types, not only for the stronger lower wings, but because it blended the increased power of the AlbDV variants with the maneuverability of the DIII.
Just drop the Flik 42 folder in your AlbatrosD3OAW folder. Then go to the loadout screen and select Flick 42 and you are good to go. No editing of the ini file is necessary.
German Camo1 will remain your default colors. You will need to select the Flik 42 skin in the loadout screen to see this skin.
You will also find a folder marked AldD3OEF Hangar and Loading. This folder contains replacement hangar and loading screens which depict both this camo scheme and a magnificent AlbDIIIOEF replica recently completed in Austria by Memorial Flight and Koloman Mayrhofer. http://memorial.flight.free.fr/Albatrosuk.html The dual spars in the lower wing are clearly visible, in the photo, which of course was taken by Herr Mayrhofer. This folder also includes a revised AlbD3OAW.ini which will enable you to see the new hangar and loading screens. Just backup the existing file and drop this in the AlbD3OAW folder. Restore the old ini file if you prefer the original screens.
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.
Thanks to Christain59 for the great three views which inspired this little job.
Have fun with it – and remember no drugs allowed while flying!!

Lt Wolff Jasta 5 Dva
By sinbad
I did these a long time ago and then forgot about them after an illness.
Lt Wolf Jasta 5
This is perhaps the most colorful skin applied to a Jasta 5 Albatross. Obviously a Bavarian, Ltn.d.R. Wolf(f) served with Jasta 5 from 25Jun17 to 8Aug17 when he was sent to the hospital when some sources do report that he died..
The spelling of his last name is 'iffy', could be one or two "f's".
Wolff was credited with a victory on July 27th but first victory might have been obtained when he was a pilot with FFA 45 in Sept 1916.
In which case his first name might be Walter and he might have two victories.
Enjoy.
Notes for update June 12, 2010 - I just re-discovered these files, which are a bit later than those previously posted. I have not examined them to determine why they were revised, but I obviously regarded these as improvements back in January 2009. This was a very challenging project that ran on over two years;many of the revisions were minor. So update your previous DL if you wish.

Borts OEF ALBATROS DII, Repaint by M-M
By MOUNTAIN-MAN
Thanks to Bort for giving me permission, given publicly on his blog site, to repaint this wonderful aircraft. It is always a pleasure working with him.....the idea behind this was to show thats Borts stuff could be made "museum " ready, for want of a better term, with out losing the wonderful character that he puts in all his craft, rather than just throwing a bucket of paint at it and hiding aforesaid character. To be honest I don't fly this skin, preferring Borts original, as his stuff has the quality of a well used, honest to goodness warplane about them..character in other words. But this one's a beauty in its own way and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did doing it.
Thanks again to Bort for this nice aircraft, hope I didn't mess it up too bad old man..LOL
