Re: Photo Nieuport
Hi Guys
Can I just put in some words of caution into all this?
The photos on sale (and that goes for all the periods TOCH cover), are mostly undated and also lack where said photos were taken. In many instances we also have to read countless guesses from sellers whose only aim is to get the most out of their sale.
Many of the photos also lack enough clarity for any of us to be 100% certain which actual aircraft we are looking at. A case in point is N940 above. It seems even the seller is not sure regarding this interpretation.
To thus be able to say which unit any aircraft belonged to when the photos we look at were taken, is problematic. Aircraft moved around between units back then as they do today. The lack of documents from all combatants are sadly missed and we need to realise that what we can do is nothing more than a "best guess"
Also a warning about flip sides. We rarely know/find out, who has actually written what we can read. Photographer, relative, former collector, seller? We just don't know.
Cheers
Stig
