Looking for ORB for N77/Spa.77
 

Good afternoon to all

I am looking for the operational record book for N.77 of the French air service of World War I. I am trying to find who many flights did Cpl. Ignacio de la Torre took part. he was briefly there from 8 June to 3 July 1917, when it appears got lost o blown off course and landed behind German lines, captured, reportedly escape. around late 1920 he was working at the Mexican embassy in Paris.

Any help would be appreciated
Cheers
Santiago
