Unknown pilots of Kościuszko Squadron
I would ask help to identify pilots having following markings on their Oeffag DIII fuselage:
C0: white & red chevron C1: red nose + white number 3 C2: red nose + white number 5 C3: inverted white chevron on its nose + white number 8 C4: blue nose + white number 9 Thanks for any help, GB

Hello,
C0: as far as I know, none of aircraft served with 7th Squadron sported white & red chevron. Perhaps you mean some other plane – probably German built Albatros D.III. C1: white 3 and red nose – por. (Lt.) Harmon C. Rorison C2: white 5 and red nose – kpt. (Capt.) Merian C. Cooper – it is possible, that his plane was marked with inverted white chevron on its nose, for some time. C3: white 8 and inverted white chevron (with nose part of fuselage painted blue) – most likely kpt. (Capt.) Edward C. Corsi. C4: I do not know. Regards Marek |

I think I got it, please have a look at: WINGS PALETTE - Albatros D.I/D.II/D.III/D.V - Poland You were right: it is an Albatros DIII and didn't serve in Kościuszko Squadron. Cheers, GB

Hello,
I thought so. Profile published on Wings Palette web site is not correct though. The fuselage, fin and rudder were not painted but left in their natural finish. The checkerboard on a fuselage was not square but trapezoid. Machine guns had been removed. I do not have a picture at handy but the airplane looked most likely like the model shown in link below. This plane was used by Wyższa Szkoła Pilotów w Poznaniu – Pilot Upper School at Poznań, in 1919. Modelarstwo Plastikowe :: Zobacz temat - Albatros D.III OAW W.Nr 2586/17 - 1/72 - Roden Cheers Marek |
