German Strength-- Summer 1915

MBowden23 · 8 July 2017, 12:45 AM

Greetings all,

I have a publisher friend who is needing an overall strength for German Aircraft on the western front in summer of 1915 for his magazine "World War One Illustrated"

The Frontbestend give a total front line strength but this obviously includes the Eastern Front. Does anyone have this number, or know the number of FFAs deployed to the Eastern Front during this time?

BAO had also been moved by this point to assist with the Garlic-Tarnow offensives. I have the full order of battle for Mackensen's army but am missing 8th Army and (if any) FFAs were attached to the German forces deployed further to the south.

Thanks for the help. I am under the gun to have everything finished for my current project and cannot make a special trip to the special collections department at this time.

I am listing the FFAs that served in the East on the posting on German two seaters. I will try and list all the FFA and AFA that served in the East in 1915 on this posting but it may take awhile.

This is a list of all the FFAs that served in the East in 1914-15:
1,4b,8,14,15,16,17,21,24,25, 27,28,30,31, 35,36,37,38,43,45,47b,50,51,52,54,55,56,57,58,59,6 3,64,66,69,

with Sud Armee FFA 30,54,59

may have served in the East during this time but not sure FFA 20,26,49

the book you mention looks interesting

I hope this is of help
