Wasserfliegerabteilung Turkey

[stevebecker]

Mates,

This is a list of what I can find on members of the Wasserfliegerabteilung in Turkey. This group was broken up between the Dardenelles , the Black Sea and the Turkish coast, added to these were those in Bulgaria and Romania, while not part of the Wasserfliegerabteilung how they worked together is unknown?

Many men I still have not confirmed so any help here?
