On 7 June R. Starck was appointed CO of the Jasta 35b. In its 1933 published diary: Stark, Rudolf: Die Jagdstaffel unsere Heimat. — Leipzig: v. Hase & Koehler 1940.
(Q74) English edition "Wings of war" he says Page80: "Several of the neighburing Staffels were better off. They flew the quick-climbing Triplanes or the new Fokker D.8. the flying capacity of which was something almost like a fairy tale."

At july 25.1918 the diary remarked large joy in the Staffel reports. They should get Fokker, and that meant Fokker DVII. Already on 1 August is the fun again past, a bomb attack of the Englishmen, 11 machines were completely destroyed. The remaining up to three were heavily damaged.
