1/24 - Meng - Fokker Dr.I - 588/17 Lt. Hans Werner - Jasta 14

The second of two similarly painted DR.I's of Ltn. Werner. whilst under his ownership it retained the original 'Eisernes Kreuz' (Iron Cross) national markings and he had added red to the vertical fuselage bands.

Confusion over serial numbers in British capture reports has meant that positive identification is difficult - 583/17 is another possibility. 

This machine was passed on to new pilot Ltn. Reinhold Preiß, who was brought down eleven days later on the 9th August 1918. By then it had the fuselage and rudder national insignia updated in line with Idflieg orders.
