DFW C.V, EADF nr 11: This aircraft was
captured from the German FA 427 on 21 June
1919, which was fighting Estonian and Bolshevik
forces in southern Estonia. It was shot down
near Auciems, Latvia, by Estonian ground forces -
and seized relatively intact. During the Sovietinstigated coup d’etat attempt in Estonia on 24
December 1924, when the coup failed, EADF
nr 11 and its pilot defected to the Soviet Union,
landing at the village of Moloskovitsh. Not being
able to convince Soviet authorities of a pro-Soviet
coup d’etat attempt, the pilot, Karl Fiskars, was
jailed and the plane seized. Both were returned
to Estonia in 1925.
