Letter on reverse (below) translated by xiphophilos: dated 21.11.1917 and written to the author's brother, a Herr Walter Tielmann in Weitefeld. Postage cancelled at Betzdorf the same day.
Fritz Otto Bernert (6 March 1893 – 18 October 1918) scored 27 victories despite being effectively one-armed. In December 1914 whilst serving with 9. Lothringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr.173, he received a bayonet wound to his left arm that severed the nerves and rendered it virtually useless. Subsequently he was transferred out of the Army.
From Wikipedia:
He then applied to the Luftstreitkräfte and trained to be an aerial observer. Upon graduation, he flew reconnaissance missions for Feldflieger Abteilung 27 from February through July 1915. He then transferred to FFA 71, where he served through November. He then applied for pilot's training; he hid his disability successfully and was accepted. The fact that he wore glasses also did not bar him from service.
He transferred to Kampfeinsitzerkommando Metz, a temporary grouping of pilots mostly from FFA 71, for his initial assignment to a fighter unit. By March, 1916, he had his pilot's license and was assigned to KEK Vaux. On 17 April 1916, he scored his first victory while flying a Fokker Eindecker, over a Nieuport fighter.
Because KEK Vaux was an ad hoc fighter unit, it was equipped with Halberstadt D.II planes and reorganized into a full-fledged Prussian fighter squadron. It became Jagdstaffel 4 on 25 August 1916. On 6 September, Bernert scored the new squadron's first victory. On 1 November, he became an ace by scoring his fifth, sixth, and seventh triumphs.
In February, 1917, he was transferred to Jagdstaffel 2. This squadron was named in honor of Oswald Boelcke, the founder of fighter aviation tactics and strategy, and was considered the premier unit of the German Air Service. Bernert scored his first victory in this unit on 19 March; on 1 April, he achieved the status of Ãœberkanone with his tenth win.
He scored 14 more times in April, including a record five victories on 24 April, all in a twenty minute span, to run his total to 24. He was awarded the Pour le Merite on 24 April.
On 1 May, Bernert was appointed to command Jagdstaffel 6. His final three victories came in May, with an unconfirmed 28th on 19 May. In mid-May, Bernert crash-landed behind German lines after his engine quit in mid-combat. A few days later, he landed long, ran out of airfield, and crashed next to his home aerodrome, breaking his jaw and bruising himself severely. Although unable to fly, Bernert did not give up his command. However, he did host some pilots from Austria-Hungary.
On 9 June 1917, Bernert was transferred back to Jasta 2, and would command it to the end of his flying career. The previous commanding officer had scored no victories to inspire his pilots; as it turned out, because of his injuries, Bernert could do no better.
However, he once again hosted several pilots from Austro-Hungary during his tenure, and thus influenced the fighter tactics of Germany's allies. He also took some leave during June and July.
Bernert was severely wounded again on 18 August 1917. This wound removed him from command and kept him in the hospital for three months. It took him off flight status. He was promoted to Oberleutnant upon release from the hospital, and was transferred to Berlin as Inspector of Air.
He died of the Spanish flu in his home town of Ratibor (Silesia) on 18 October 1918.

I hope you find this article informative about the aviation sector in India and insightful. Aviation is a sector where comments and views are always appreciated. Therefore, I look forward to hearing from you
Big Cypress swamp in Florida. The actual shot wasn't good, but the reversal made it work somewhat. Just something different.
Kiev 4, Jupiter 8 lens, expired Kodak 400 High Definition film. Another example of what I believe is a shutter transit problem. But it does kind of work here . . . maybe. It is like having a built-in split density filter. At Fort Tilden, you have to look at both sides of signs in order to get ALL the information. Rockaway, NY.
I should mention that I only made one quarter of this image and then digitally mirrored it. This is the reversed version, putting the opposite corner in the center. I remember the first time I was taught how to make a curve with straight lines in math class somewhere near the end of public school. (grade 7 maybe) It blew my mind and I've been doodling them ever since. (It;s in the center of this image, all the squares that make a curved diamond)
