Sir,

While I have no official loss record of this aircraft, I do have what I believe are two additional photos of the same aircraft from an American "GI" source. I have it listed in my database as "Black 7+," but as you say, it very well could be "Red 7+." All other details of it match your photo perfectly: missing canopy, spinner, rudder, and wing cannon; the style of its Balkenkreuze and Hakenkreuze; and the position and shape of its bent prop. I am certain enough of its identity that I am correcting my location of, "near Reims, France, to yours. I look forward to any member’s additional information.

Best regards all,

Steve Sheflin
