Feldflieger Abteilung 5B aerodromes

[Regulus]

Hi,

Has anyone a clear view on the locations of this Bavarian unit between August 1915 and August 1916 ?

I seem to be unable to find anything decent on this matter.

Any ideas if there's anything on the unit left in the archives at Munchen ?

Thanks !

Best from Johan

Hello Johan,

maybe I can help you.
I found the FFA 5b on August 1915 in Pouillerie ferme near Houplin.
FFA 5b left the airfield on 14 june 1916 and goes to Douai (FFA 62 and FFA 4b left Douai).
On 31 juni 1916 FFA 5b come back to Pouillerie ferme.

Hallo Reinhard,

Vielen Dank alter Freund !

Seems I have a new location to add to my list of visits to former airfields.

The locations of the early Fokkerstaffels and KEK's aerodromes, begins to get a good shape.

Thanks !

Viele Grüsse aus Flandern

BTW the location of the Pouillerie aerodrome was very easy to find back !
