Nice one Clint

Not every day one see these coded aircraft (D-6 if I am not mistaken)
Pity no useful details are known by the seller.....and should we say the flip side ain't doing much good either....?

Anyway it was BuA3262 assigned to Squadron C of the First Marine Aviation Force in France (from late summer 1918) based at La Fresne. Later in the autumn the unit was re-designated as the 9th Squadron (from appx October)

There are days when I feel just like Richard III (A Kingdom for a date! :))

Cheers

Stig,


Wow. I wasn't expecting such a quantity of information when I posted. Awesome. Can you see the No 3262 on the tail or have you identified the aircraft from either the D-6 or elsewhere?

Although the photo has been somewhat disfigured by the seller this is still an interesting photo as the machine appears to be from a training unit based on the large serial number on the nacelle.


Merry Christmas,
