Weyer ObLt

[stevebecker]

Mates,

I notice in Serno's book, that there is a mention of Weyer and Körner brought to Turkey to help him in 1915

While Körner is known, Weyer is not?

Weyer ObLt (Capt) Pilot Airforce OzbV Adjt to Airforce Stabchefs CofS to Serno 10-15 1915-18 later committed suicide due to ill health from an early crash in France (shown is Serno's book)

Other reports show this man spelling?

Wayer ObLt (Capt) to Maj Observer Airforce 1st Aircraft Company 5-15 to 15th Aircraft Company Tayyare Boluk to (Kofl) Kommandeur der Flieger 5th Army at Izmir (from Kettenbeil) 1-18 to 7-18 1915-18 reported Maj Serno brought Wayer and Körner as observers 5-15 shown PoW 5-10-18 possibly shot down in Halberstadt with Lt Hoffanger during raid to Xanthi-Narlikoy bridge crashed near Komotini captured by the Bulgarian army (not identified) (spelling in Ole Nikoljsen)

I did think his name was mixed up with

Weyert Konrad Maj Pilot Airforce staff (Kofl) Kommandeur der Flieger Yildirim 3-18 (4-18 to 10-18) - Uçak ve yanbirlikleri teknik birlikleri ve Uçaksavar bölükleri genel müfettisi (Technical associations of aircraft and subsidiary associations and general inspector of anti-aircraft units) Kommandeur der Flieger der Heeresgruppe F 1918- replaced Heemskerck 3-18 reported between Jan to June 1918 39 pilots and observers killed and 20 wounded between June to Sept 1918 59 aircrew members were killed wounded and PoW

The other man is;

Körner Wilhelm Rudolf Martin ObLt (Capt) Observer/photogragher Airforce 1st Aircraft Company Tayyare Boluk 5-15 shown OC (replaced Tashin) 9-15 1915-18 (1885 at Dessau or Oranienbaum Anhalt KIA 23-1-17) from Pionier Bn 15 to photogragher sent to Turkey by Serno (reported Maj Serno brought Wayer and Körner as observers 5-15) to instruct new aircrew 8-15 att 1st Aircraft Company 5-15 flew photo recee sorties over Dardenelles during 1915 RTG 1-16 to Capt Flieger-Abteilung (Artillerie) FA (A) 269 Western Front KIA in France awarded EK II & EK I 5-15 and Ottoman Silver Liakat Medal 8-5-15 and War Medal 8-16 brother Helmut Koerner Capt Fußartillerie-Regiment 52 (spelling in Ole Nikoljsen) (shown is Serno's book) shown in Klaus Wolf's Book

Can you sort these men out?

Cheers
