Cheers,

Michael

No I don't think so
During the combat his Farman was badly damaged by the zeppelin
and he was FTL in Holland and made Pow
The zeppelin damaged was destroyed later
Here is an article about Capitaine Maurice Mandinaud in "La Guerre Aérienne Illustrée"

Hmm, intresting article, but it rather implies that Mandinaud was credited with the Zep. However, you may be right judging he wasn't as the downing of his plane is listed at the Albin Denis page
http://albindenis.free.fr/Site_escad...adrille036.htm
whereas it doesn't indicate the downing of the Zep.

Cheers,

Michael
