Lieber Herr Leutnant Feuervogel
Vott a wundebar design zatt is! Ze Englanders and Franzosen must be very impressed to get shot to pieces by such beautiful Fokker! Zose Nations both have style and taste, so zis design must make it easier for zem to bite ze soil of Flanders Fields.
My admirashion and congratulationz.

Ihr Baron von Mahlo

PS: I hear, zatt ziss design is from der Yankee doodle dings, New York? No less, really? Zatt has future, I should say!

Well Lieutenant that is a mighty fine lookin' crate! But, the secret photos of your car, taken by locals near your aerodrome really got us howling here at RFC 66 (in P2), LOL!!!

Vell, ve can't be all cool, all of ze time. Everybody has a little dork in zem, zomewhere. Ze Zopwith Flugzuegwerke did a great job on ze car, unfortunately it vas supposed to be an aeroplane but zey forgot ze vings and ze gunz! (must have been zeir dork moment!) Zo I just use it for zipping around ze aerodrome as it is no good in traffic. Ze folks behind me get drenched in ze castor oil and qvite often get irate!

Looks the right little beetle for Gimpy - he amused himself, "driving" around in a Sopwith plane, on the road!
 
Didn't I see that car flying in the recent clip that WomenFly2 posted? I think I did.
