    Here are some photos to expand on VonS' excellent research and FM work.  A Swedish replica builder is constructing an all-new D.8 the same way the originals were made and it will be powered by an original Siemens-Halske engine!  D.8s were issued in ones and twos to front line and home defense units in the Spring of 1918.  Paul Baumer, of Jasta Boelcke, obtained a D.8 in May per the Osprey pub Pfalz Scout Aces of WW1 which has a photo of two D.8s used by Jasta 29 alongside their Fokker D.7s.  Myself, I tend to agree with VonS and suspect D.8s were not operational until late summer/early autumn - but I've been wrong before! :biggrin:
