Here are some pics of Karl Menckhoff's D.V in the fall of 1917 when he served with Jasta 3

Just need to touch up a few parts before I post it.

Is this the crate he flew when Voss took on 56 squadron?

thats an interesting one,It's kind of funny that in the german airforce at the time the camo aircraft is the one that stands out from the rest.Great job as per your usual.

Not to mention what looks like white snow on the ground. Green and purple dont blend in well with snow.

From what I've read, Menckhoff wasnt the one in that mix. And the aircraft (Albatros type) was said to have a red nose. At the moment I cant recall the "possible" pilots name. BTW I will be posting the S.E.5's from No.56. The ones involved in that tiring 1 vs 7 spat.

 

Edit: Here a few of No.56 in September 1917

Menckhoff was later shot down by US airman Walter Avery and captured. Menckhoff was "annoyed" to find out he had been shot down by a novice pilot. Avery cut the "M" off of Menckhoff's plane. After the war they somehow came in contact, and Avery returned his "M" to him.
