Guynemer's Mock Dogfight

[Nacho]

Does anybody know the name of the Canadian Camel pilot who had a mock dogfight with Georges Guynemer when British pilots visited the Storks?

Nacho,

I don't know the name of the Canadian Camel pilot that Guynemer bested, and I'm not sure anyone does.

However, Cecil Lewis of No. 56 Squadron had a "demonstration combat" with Guynemer in a SPAD and Lewis in an SE 5. Lewis wrote eloquently about this in Sagittarius Rising and also in Farewell to Wings. He says that, "In his hands the Spad was a marvel of flexibility. In the first minute I should have been shot down a dozen times." Lewis was far from a novice himself at this time.

I imagine that Lewis was flying an Se5/a at the time: seems like a very interesting idea for a painting/print: with the upcoming book on 56 sqdn, perhaps a cover :: would be very unique!
