"Ltn. d. r. Josef Mai"
Leutnant der Reserve Josef Mai is perhaps
best know as one of the three pilots who
made up Jasta 5’s “Golden Triumvirate”. His
contribution of 30 confirmed and 15
unconfirmed victories helped make Jasta 5
the third highest scoring German Jasta. Mai
flew a variety of aircraft throughout the war
including Albatros DV’s (one of which I
depicted in my painting “The Golden
Triumvirate”), Fokker Dr.1’s and Fokker
DVIIs. I created this drawing from a photo of
Mai taken in 1918. He is seen here standing
in front of his famous black and white striped
Fokker DVII.

Although Josef Mai was nominated for the
Pour le Merite, the “Blue Max”, the war ended
before he could receive the award. Mai
survived the war and lived to the ripe old age
of 94.

Printed on acid free stock with fade resistant
inks, the print is signed by Russell Smith.
