Re: Image help

Guys

I don't believe we are looking at an Caudron G.III (or ANY type G at all) since they all had triangular fins. What we are looking at is a type before that, and the most probable is type B, but I have no air-to air shot to be 100% certain. So photos 1 and 3, which most probably show the same aircraft, are pre type G!

Neither am I certain we are looking at a Blériot IX (photo 2), since it seems to me it has a too large tailfin....

Photos 4-5 pass (I am lousy when it comes to details.
Photo 6 is the Heinkel HD 16 before delivery to the Swedish Air Force. When test flown in Germany it had a light roundel where the insignia of the Swedish Air Force was filled in at a later stage.

Photo 7 is the Heinkel HD 25.

Photos 8 to 10 pass.

Cheers
Stig
