Ding ding ding!!!! That's it.

The Albatross Dr. I was interesting, as it looks exactly like a D.V with an extra wing. But the Dr. II looked like a lot like the famous D. VII with a third wing, so it was pretty weird. It had 6 ailerons, and in Wikipedia it had the picture of the Dr. I which is incorrect.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albatros_Dr.II and http://www.wwiaviation.com/popup/Albatros_DR-II.html

David Johnston is correct, "The Wellington was nicknamed the Wimpy by RAF personnel, after the portly J. Wellington Wimpy character from the Popeye cartoons".

Should question 5 read

The last civilian to own this ship was married to a famous movie star?

David Johnston

Or maybe better wording for clue #5 on my part should have been;

The last civilian to own this ship is a famous female movie star ~ (in other words - the person in clue #5 and clue #6 are two different people).
