Eduard's 1/48 scale profiPACK Albatros D.III Oeffag 153. The crosses and owl emblems are from Pheon's Oeffag set Volume one. This particular aircraft was flown by Hungarian born Franz Gräser. He was ranked sixth among the aces of the Austro-Hungarian air force, with a total of 18 confirmed. An interesting fact is he never obtained an official pilot's certificate, nor underwent any official flying training. regards, Jack
