rossf9 Posted 7 November , 2022 Share Posted 7 November , 2022 Hi - what are the best sources for trying to identify the German planes and pilots that were shot down by a British pilot? Ideally in English but I'm willing to use a lot of Google Translate for v good German sources! For example, I have the below excellent summary from Above the Trenches provided by @MikeMeech and I'd really like to try and find out who the German pilots were that Maxwell shot down. From scouring other threads, two books that I've found mentioned are: "The Jasta War Chronology" by Franks, Bailey and Duivens "Casualties of the German Air Service 1914-1918" by Franks, Bailey and Duiven Are there any others? I live in London and plan to visit the British Library to review the above - so a recommendation for anything else I can find in there would be most welcome.

sadbrewer Posted 9 November , 2022 Share Posted 9 November , 2022 A couple of online sites to try are The Aerodrome and The Cross & Cockade....the Aerodrome folks have been really friendly and helpful to me, several authors participate which brings a great deal of knowledge. There is also a German language site that is good but I can't just remember the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
