In response to you question about the Gotha GIV, i was inspired by a build by Frank Jaerschky over on RC Groups. We both used as a starting point plans from Clevland Model Supply available in this country. These were good for outlines mostly and we both redesigned a number of area's within the airframe.

Status: online 		A funny thing....I was looking for a German WWI Navy pilot flag to fly at events I attend this year. My Fokker is from a 1918 navy unit. I found the flag in many web sites. It is described as "Flagge der Lotenfahrzeuge" at Wikapedia. OK I thought, what does that translate to? That is where it gets funny. Different sites translate it as follows.
Flag of pilot vehicles
flag of that pilot go witness
fly a flag the guiding vehicles
flag of pilot boats.
And so on, and so forth. I know that German to english is not always perfect. But its funny to me as to just how strange it can get distorted. I think I am going to go with the pilot boats.

Status: offline 		The problem with the online translations is with how the compound word gets divided up. It should be "lotsen-fahrzeuge" (not "lotsen-fahr-zeuge"). Note, by the way, that it's "lotsen" not "loten." Fahrzeug is a generic term for "vehicle." At some point there was also "Luftfahrzeug" which is "air-vehicle" and then the contracted form "Flugzeug" ("fly-device" / aircraft).

I'm not entirely convinced that this is the correct flag for naval air units since I found references to this flag being used as far back at the 1890's, i.e. before there were aircraft. Note that the term "pilot" was originally used to refer to the "pilot of a boat," i.e. a navigator. In modern usage, "lotsen" call relate to "air traffic control" so it's possible this was something like "navigation craft" (whatever that might mean).

Status: online 		Good evening, JeffEE



We've been displaying Flags of the Great War for several years now at most of the Dawn Patrol events we attend, and what I've been able to track down for Germany are three different flags to represent the Empire, plus four more flags representing the four major Kingdoms who supported the air services (Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and Wurttemberg). The three German flags we fly are:

The National Flag (Black / White / Red)

The War Ensign (as you've shown, without the blue anchors)

The Naval Jack (Iron Cross on the Black / White / Red flag):



I've tried to wade through all sources I could find (primarily the Flags of the World website), plus any photos from the era I could find, to ensure some reasonable historical accuracy.

My opinion is that the Naval Jack would be the most likely flag for your purposes, but I'll do a little digging through my photos to see if I can find anything showing it in action.

Best regards,

Lee McDuffee

Status: online 		Abufletcher, Thanks for helping. I was not sure about the flag either, thats why I tried the translator. I at least got a good chuckle out of it.

Winterhawke, I guess I will just have to join your group at the dawn patrols and fly under your flags!

But I did not want to side track a good thread, so please keep the great pictures comming. Here is my first DVII that I had a mid air with.
