Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of Nieuport 11 N.543 at:


https://www.ebay.fr/itm/154644798379...IAAOSwDEJhYX8z


I know I've seen these markings before,but where? Could someone please put me out of my misery and identify the pilot/unit of this machine?


Following offline discussions with Bertrand, I have looked at the following photograph of Voisn Type 3 V.835 from the same seller which appears to bear the same chevron markings as the Nieuport:

This in turn has led to the following photo:

So is Nieuport 11 N.543 wearing the markings of V 97 or V 397 as the case may be?

Parry was shot down by Fritz Friedrichs (Jasta 10) on 8 July his 21st and last victory; he was killed a week later. Parry's sole claim was on the 2nd.

Fritz was his nick name

Actually named Friedrich Friedrichs which sounds a bit "unengaged" by his parents.... :)

Hello,


Currently on ebay there is a photo of a Nieuport with 7072 on the tailplane at:


https://www.ebay.it/itm/265400495968...AAAOSwVsFhjLZP


TBH, I'm not sure what to make of this photo - either a Nieuport 16 or Nieuport 21 seem possibilities identificationwise,with the headrest and partially exposed engine cylinders,but I 've no other Nieuport serials in the 70** range. Any thoughts ?
