[WWI] Albatros D.1 inquiry

[Hooper, Dave]

Hi Rob

 

As far as I'm aware the D.1 had a windscreen.

 

You should be able to find plenty of period detail on a captured D1 at
the Flight archives originally printed around 1917 (many of the drawings
were reprinted in the Windsock Albatros special). As I recall the
articles on the D1 ran for 4 or  5 weeks.

 

See: http://www.flightglobal.com/home/default.aspx

 

Go to the flight archive part of the site and type 'Albatros' in to the
search engine or maybe 'Albatros scout' I doubt whether it would have
been called the D.1 in the article.

 

Regards

 

Dave

Subject: [WWI] Albatros D.1 inquiry

 

Hello friends...

 

Well, I have finally taken the plunge and joined the list!

 

I am working on the Roden 1/72 Albatros D.1. I am wondering... some of
the photos I have seen seem to show a small windscreen in place. The
Roden instructions hint at one, but none is included in the kit.

 

Did the D.1 have a windscreen? I have searched Google for over an hour
trying to find a reference shot showing one, but again, nothing is
definitive.

 

I believe I can easily add one, but I would like to be sure of the
shape, and how it was attached before doing so.

 

Thanks!
