Borden Battery Posted 5 November , 2005 Share Posted 5 November , 2005 From the CEF Study Group's recommended Great War websites ... here is everything about Boelcke ... and yes ... much of his Dicta is still very correct today. *Jasta Boelcke - German Squadron of the Great War June 2005 This is a very detailed and very high quality website is features and detail beyond what an abstract can outline. The pages of Jasta Boelcke are devoted to Hauptmann (Captain) Oswald Boelcke and his famous Jasta 2. It was Boelcke who realized that the German Air Forces had to get organized in squadrons (Jagdstaffeln) if they wanted to fight effectively against the enemy. Also it was Boelcke who wrote down his tactics and experiences in a document called "The Dicta Boelcke" - a set of guidelines being still followed today by the pilots of modern jetfighter squadrons. On this site you will find historical accurate information about Oswald Boelcke and his Jasta as well as stories about other German Aces and pictures of aircraft on display at various museums. Highly recommended as one of the premier Great War websites. http://jastaboelcke.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
