+Olham Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Here are three pictures from the "Buddecke" website, which is always well worth a "sightseeing tour". - The first photo is said to be Jasta 72 in May 1918 by the road Roye - Nesle. - The second shows Jasta 69 in September 1918 with their Pfalz D.IIIa. - The third is a birdseye view of the Jasta 5 airfield at Boistrancourt, Winter 1917. http://www.buddecke.de/fotos.htm
Wayfarer Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 ... which is always well worth a "sightseeing tour". Olham, it certainly is. Thanks for posting these. I don't remember coming across this site before. I'm going to have a proper look at it this evening.
+Hasse Wind Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 The Pfalz can be seen in the first pic too. What a shame so few colour photos were taken in those days! They would look so much better.
+Paarma Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I found these fantastic albatros pictures from jasta 67. Totally new to me! http://www.frontflieger.de/2-j67.html
+Olham Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 Wow, these are really wonderful, Paarma! I bet you started skinning Richard Rübe's craft with the 4-leaf clover? Nice find - thanks for sharing!
Wayfarer Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Just got a better look at the Buddecke site. Just love the old postcards! The French infantry in their kepis and red trousers all blasting away at a Taube is great.
