There were 5 Marine Feld Jastas organized into the Marine Flanders Geschwader under Obltn Saschenberg in 1918. Most were formed in 1917 and operated wholly in Flanders, flying originally Albatrii and Pfalzes, later D-VIIs/VIIIs, and apparently S-S D-IVs. Evidently these were marine corps units, not navy--I'd like to know more about the Kaiser's leathernecks myself. Anyway, an excellent Marine Jasta overview is available in the Grub Street book, The Jasta Pilots by Norman Franks, et al.
