Hi,
1) Some information about german planes in DSWA you can find on

and about South African Aviation Corps

2) Tsingtao
Pilot's Escape from Tsingtao
Lt. Gunther Plüschow, known locally as "the Dragon Pilot" due to a tattoo of a dragon on his left arm, was the only German airman on active duty based in Tsingtao in 1914. During the siege he ran spotting missions in a Rumpler Taube over the Japanese and British fleets and was unofficially credited with the first aerial "kill" of the war. When the garrison surrendered and went into captivity he escaped and made his way back to Germany via China, Japan, America and Gibraltar where he was briefly captured by the British and taken to England, only to escape once more and make his way back to Germany via Holland. On his return he was ironically arrested as a spy at first, but was eventually recognised and awarded the Iron Cross First Class. He was the only German prisoner to escape from a British mainland POW camp during either World War. He later wrote several books including one on his experiences in China and his journey back to Germany called "Escape from England" (see Book Reviews page).

3. Cameroons
Two aeroplanes had been shipped to Cameroon for use by the Schutztruppe in early 1914. However their pilots were still in Germany when the war broke out and so the planes never flew. One of the pilots allocated to Cameroon was Hauptmann Eugen Kirch. He had served with the Schutztruppe in Cameroon in 1912, then returned to Germany for pilot training in 1913. His nickname was the Fliegender Kameruner thereafter.

4. As far as I remember Lettow in his book "My Reminiscences of East Africa" mentions
a plane which was delivered to East Africa for exibition. The plane made some flights but eventually crashed.
