rjw 48 Posted February 24, 2012 Hi Folks; I was flying in Jasta 2 in OFF and the RB was listed as an ACE in the Jasta. Suddenly he disappeared from the roster as of Jan 20th, 1917. I then tried to register a new pilot in OFF choosing the start date as Jan 20th onward and then checked out all the Jastas and the RB was not registered with any of them. Does anyone know for sure where OFF has sent him. (Vacation maybe?) Regards to all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted February 24, 2012 Well, he wasn't the "Red Baron" already in Jasta 2 - he painted his Albatros red only later, in Jasta 11. Manfred von Richthofen became the leader of Jasta 11 after his time with Jasta 2. Maybe he did not take the new Jasta over immediately, but he had his first victory with Jasta 11 on 23 January 1917.

What you say is true, I agree. It is however quite interesting that I can find no "hide nor hair" of him since he left Jasta 2. I've explored dates of Feb through April with the other Jastas and he is nowhere to be found!! Best Regards; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Hmmmm, perhaps your OFF is a cheap Hong Kong fake, rjw? When I go through Jasta 11, I see him from 15 February on. With full name and rank: Rittmeister Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen. Perhaps you want to have another look? .

shredward 12 Posted February 25, 2012 You both had me scared for a moment there, so I checked my datafiles. MvR is right where he should be, with JaB up to the 15th January, and then to Ja11. Cheers, shredward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must be all that Glycol I have been breathing in my recent missions !!! I went back and checked again and just as you indicated MvR left Jasta 2 on Jan 15th and went to Jasta 11 on the same day. I can't believe I missed it, and I had checked the rosters twice!!! I think I'll take a break and go feed my brain cells!! Sorry for such a stupid mistake!

When you have found the right stuff for those cells, please let me know. I was also wrong by writing 15 February, when it was 15 January.
