russian nieuport 17

is there a good source for russian nieuports? i found a picture of one that has a bat with a prop and sword crossed below it and was trying to find more pictures to support this scheme. any other schemes are welcome too, i think that planes used by the russians are underdone.

I assume you are familiar with Durkota andDarcey's book "The Imperial Russian Air Service"? It has lots of photos, with various Nieuports scattered throughout. Doc

AFAIK, there's at least one photo of this machine - upside down after a crash or landing mishap. It belonged to the 30th Air Detachment of the Red Army. I think the photo dates from around 1920.
