Flieger Artillirie Abt. 254 most interesting. The album says that is was done during the winter of 1917 but the seller is trying to say it goes from 1917 -1918. The two seater aircraft are the early Alb. C.V 1916 manufactured types with the ear radiators. I liked the single Alb. D.II and the "captured Nieu. 21" very interesting. The refueling cart is very cool.

Is there going to be a diorama, Stephen?

A fellow research fiend has added this.

". . .I don't have the aerodromes but FAA 254 belonged to Armee Abteilung B in January and February 1917. In March and April 1917 the unit was with AOK 1. From 22 Apr 1917 on FAA 254 was under the command of Grufl 11 (Gruppe Aisne = Gardekorps). . ." Herr Immo Frese
