My French friends managed to run down the details for me. The whole raid reminds me of the early B-17 raids over Germany. A running fight all the way in and all the way out, but at 70 mph instead of 200 mph.

That would be nice. I already have found a few good photos of Udet's Breguet in an issue of Propellerblatt and I am waiting or an answer on some more back issues of that publication. I'm especially interested in Farmans and Caudrons who participated in the Oberndorf raid but I won't say no to the Breguets either. I'd paticulary like a good picture of a Farman 40. If you could at least point me in the direction of publications where pictures of these aircraft have been published I'd be greatful.
