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.

Nice 1 thanks

Here is a little Ruskie skin I finished working on this weekend

This is a skin I made of Otto Kissenberth's Sopwith Camel. Kissenberth (as far as we know) was the only German Pilot to ever use a Captured Sopwith Camel, and he used it to score his 20th Victory against an SE5a on 16th May 1918 He was the commander at the time of Jasta23b, and was seriously injured when he crashed his Camel. (damned Huns can't fly properly!) He is also known to have been one of only three German Aces to wear Spectacles (hope for me yet!!)..and he survived the war, only to be Killed in 1919 in a climbing accident. If you like my skin, please feel free to download it from the skins section. (you can fly against the Allies in QC using it, but obviously, you must use a British pilot) Here is a Screenshot of my take on his victory, and a picture of Herr Kissenberth himself

Thanks for the Compliment OvS. I am skinning like a man posessed at the moment (partly cos of the competition..but mainly cos I am seriously unable to stop!) I am getting into all sorts of bother with the Wife!!!

well, there's more than three already! (Wikipidia have it wrong)

You don't want to either matey!

Fritz Otto Bernert and Kurt Wintgens are another two I believe (although there appears to be more, now I take the time to look) First thing you discover about 90 yrs ago, is that there are so many conflicting reports!!

Oh God, don't say that m8!...... Can you imagine what a complete Noob load of twaddle my skin would be made to look by the OFF Squad? I could never show my face here again!!

She pulls Hard Right I believe?

Indeed Olham!..she has killed me on more occasions than I care to remember!!!

It's up now! (probably still incorrect, but hey!...Noobies Rule!!)

Dont download yet please!..I have posted a corrected version, just awaiting authorisation!!..will post back when it's up!..the one there already is incorrect!!!

A revised version will be uploaded later today, as the bird motif is too large, and situated incorrectly, plus a couple of other minor tweaks!

Now all we need is a Captured German plane to fly against!
