Bonjour
The (excellent) book 'British Aviation Squadron Markings of WW1' by Les Rogers confirm my hypothesis The photo of the DH5 crashed can be seen into the pages concerning 41 Squadron RFC with the caption "DH5 A'9276 of 2 lt J.L. Haight POW 28.9.17" 'Jasta War chronology' says that a Dh5 was shot down by Uffz U Neckel(jasta 12) near Biache on that day Cordialement Bruno |
