Cpt. Manfred von Richthofen, German Air Force, April 21, 1918

[Louis]

(Colorized) Taken at Gontrode, East Flanders, in the first week of July 1917, this photograph shows von Richthofen (right) in conversation with Hauptmann Rudolf Kleine (1886/1917) and Oberleutnant Martin Gerlich (1892/1920). Two Albatros D.V are parked in the background the front one seemingly painted red overall, is Richthofen's machine (1177/17) the second appears to have a the markings of Ltn. Kurt Wolff (1895/1917).
Obviously, it was normal to live short lives in that era.
The German airfield of Gontrode was built during the WW1 and was used by airplanes and zeppelins.

Just a couple of views of an Albatross

and

Albatros D.Va (serial D.5390/17) on display at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra (another museum on my bucket list)

I was going to post Monty Python's Albatross sketch but things were getting too silly...
