Captured Camel

[UK_Widowmaker 571]

This Skin is of a Captured Camel, flown by Otto Kissenberth of Jasta 23b at Epinoy between April/May 1918.

Discussion on the colouration of this Aircraft is rife, as there are only B&W photo's, but this is the most commonly thought of scheme.

 

Kissenberth used this aircraft to shoot down his 20th Victim (an SE5a) on 16th May 1918, and was shortly after seriously injured when he crashed this Camel.

 

He survived the Great War, as one of only three German Aces to wear Spectacles.

 

He died in 1919 in a climbing accident in the Alps.
