? DFW C.V This German airfield was captured by the Australian Light Horse.
Jenin Afuleh airfield, Central Palestine.
4432/17 DFW C.V Captured along with other German aircraft at an enemy aerodrome after the Australian Light Horse had taken possession. The other aircraft included Albatros DVa D5359. There is some confusion over the exact location of the aerodrome as to whether it is Jenin or El Afule, most likely El Afule.
