German claims 6 Sept 1915
Does anyone have a list of German claims for 6 September 1915 ?
I'm piecing together the death of Capitaine Albert Fequant so famously saluted in Farre's painting. If we can believe Farre's account of the event which he had related to him, Fequant died of three bullet wounds - two the head and one to the body. If so, it implies a combat with German aircraft. Fequant was a member of VB 102 at the time and I believe the mission was to Saarbruck. Fequants place of demise is listed as Dompierre - don't know if that's where the combat took place or VB102's field. Another crew, lost on the same mission but from VB105, was supposively downed by FA 6. I saw this painting and it's companion "the tragic death of Capitaine Fequant" which shows the VB102 aircraft returning with Fequants dead body hanging over the side of the airplane, in Lancaster California this past weekend. Both are tremendous. The story as known is powerful enough, but I'd love to fill in the blanks. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Mike
