Konrad, those are great photos, especially the ones with the Fokker EindeckerI believe FFA 62 was Hermann Kastner's unit, which included both Immelmann and Boelcke in 1916. Perhaps Alex can identify some of the pilots.

Pic #1: The name is vary common so i cant say wich Müller this guy is. I have no Müller at FFA 62 but my list is incomplete

Pic #2: I suppose the men sitting in cockpit is the later Lt.d.R. Lehmann. I have the same picture. He died at 23.09.1916 at KEK3

Pic #3: I have a Prehn but i'm not sure it is the same. I have to check

Pic #4: It could be Lt. Ehrhardt von Teubern. He was observer at FFA 62 from Apr. to Sept. 15

Pic #7: is not from FFA 62. It shows a Fok. D.IV. This ac comes 1917 on the front. At this time FFA 62 never exist.


Hptm Hermann Kastner was the first leader of FFA 62 followed by Hptm Arthur Bullrich on 13.06.1916. Not only Immelmann and Boelcke start their career at this unit. Windisch, Max von Mulzer and Parschau.
The Fok. E.III are from KEK Douai wich was under the command of FFA 62.

Same goes for me. It was the stories of the Red Baron and movies
like "The Blue Max" that got me interested in the first world war back
when I was a kid.
