No.23_Triggers Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) No. 23 Squadron RFC: Bertangles - 28 March 1918 - 29 April 1918 - SPAD XIII Bertangles - 16 May 1918 - 13 September 1918 - Sop. Dolphin Later based at Cappy and Hancourt, but I guess that's no good for map making EDIT: I should try reading. "Between June - August". oops. Lol! Edited March 26, 2020 by US93_Larner
J2_Trupobaw Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Quote Jasta 6 Fokker Dr.I, Albatros D.Va, Fokker D.VII Jasta 6 didn't operate D.Vas after February. It was a Dr.I-only Sfaffel of JGI under MvR. In June it traded the Dr.Is for D.VIIs and moved south to fight the Americans. In August, when they were again stationed on FC map, they were using D.VIIFs, E.Vs and possibly Mercedes D.VIIs. Quote Epinoy: Jasta 35b Albatros D.Va Jasta 35b flew mix of Pfalz D.IIIa, Albatros D.Va and Roland D.VIa. On 24th August they replaced their planes with D.VIIs. Quote Bullencourt: Jasta 32b Albatros D.Va, Pfalz Jasta 32b swapped Albatros and Pfalz planes for Rolands in May-June. I'll try to see when they got D.VIIs later.

JGr2/J34b_Matthias Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Hey guys, I already PM'd this to Sizzlorr but figured I would repost for all. A tool you can use for some great airfield info is an offline copy of a now defunct website. I'll link you a download package. https://github.com/dptww1/WW1AirMap2 1. Hit Clone or Download green button on that page. 2. Download zip file 3. Either open the zip file and double click index.html or extract the whole package to a folder and then execute index.html 4. Opens website in browser Enjoy! Edited March 28, 2020 by J5_Matthias 2
