Photo of Albatros D.V/D.Va Lineup
Hello All,
Currently available on ebay at : https://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-6-Deuts...sAAOSwTY9bu2-D is a nice photo of a line up of six Albatros D.V and D.Va. The first and third aircraft are serialed 4547/17 and 5264/17 respectively. Aircraft four and five in the line up also have serials but I can't clearly read them. Pehaps some has better eyesight than myself and can. In any event can anyone identify the unit of the aircraft shown. The seller has the photos along with several other interesting photos he's selling as being from the Nachlass of a pilot of FA 290 but I'm assuming the aircradt shown belong to a fighter unit. Can anyone assist? Regards, Clint |

A (possible) time frame…
.
In this case we have an Albatros D.Va, D.5264/17 for identification. It was one machine of a batch of 335 aircraft (5165/17 to 5499/17), ordered in August 1917. So my guess is that the photo was taken between late 1917 and early 1918 (no leaves on the deciduous trees, style of the national markings). Maybe this time will be of any help…  .
