Luftstreitkräfte um 1918

Thank you for your comments.

You're very welcome that is a Fantastic Helmet (y)

I can imagine a pilot of a Gotha proudly owning it. Just a one-of-a-kind piece I love it. I've always been fascinated with Gothas and the Zeppelin-Staaken

If you should ever want or need to part with it, I know someone who would be very interested. ;)

Partly the history of German aviation around Ghent during WWI (airfields)
Just happened to be here near an airport, close to Ghent.
Airfield, 25 May 1917

When Paul von Hindenburg—commander of the German 8th Army and responsible for many Allied defeats—visited the Sint-Denijs-Westrem airfield (which was strategically very important) in 1917, twenty-five aircraft (Gothas) were lined up for him. foto
