Hi everybody,
I am interested in the "Bermondtian Affair", the "Westarmee" etc., in Lithuania, fall 1919. There is a pic of one of the Westarmee's planes on the internet, but I can't identify it, as I am no specialist in WW I.
Can somebody identify this crash-landed plane? A Rumpler, perhaps? Does it read "...C V..." on the fuselage?

I have some more pictures, but don't know how to post them here.
Thanks in advance!
Richard

Any help welcome!

Hello Richard,

reading the serial it says it's a Halberstadt CV the (Av) after the number indicates that it was licence-built by Aviatik. HTH
