Subject: Aircraft Markings
I recently picked up a publication of the World War I Aviation Society,
An extremely interesting publication. It has many photos and details of
various aircraft, both allied and german. One in particular , really
caught my eye. It was a Fokker , that was forced down by a Lt. Soden. The
Fokker was flown by a German Lt Adolf Auer. Auer's plane had standard
German markings , plus striped tail surfaces, and along the fuselage was a
Star of David. Was this a squadron marking? Was Lt. Auer using a Jewish
religious Symbol for good luck? Was Lt. Auer Jewish? Is there any info on
German Jewish aviators from WW I ?
