I assume he was involved in straffing these troops before his aircraft crashed. Again I have no evidence but hypothesise.
Can I ask, were photographs of Luke's SPAD taken at the time? It'd be interesting to know how much damage it suffered before it crashed.

No photos. Yet. I've searched the world over, from attics in Germany to archives in the US and France. And all of your questions are answered -- in depth, with full evidence and data presented -- in
THE STAND: The Final Flight of Lt. Frank Luke, Jr.
