Hi Clint

This is a Morane-Saulnier MS 35. Photo taken post 1923 after the introduction of the under wing "buzz numbers"

Hi Stig,


Thanks for the ID.


On the subject of the MS.35, do you have a copy of Icare's Les Rois du Parasol? If so there's a follow up question I have about impressments on P.127.

Clint

Sorry Clint

I have very few Icare. They take up such a huge volume of space and contain so much useless pages that I decided a long time ago to drop them.

By now space is a very premium issue at my place....

Hello,


Currently on ebay a photo of a Morane Saulnier LA at :

Stig provides the following info:


Well I suppose it is a type LA and the unit is deff MS 31 (the Greek Archer symbol)
It was actually made into a Sanke card already during WW 1. As is almost the case the correct SFA number is blanked out by the flag on the fin, but since it is a very early photo (1915?) I would guess it is MS 90-99. I don't believe they kept the LA production going all the way to 900....


Thanks Stig.

Hi,

# 5 : This a/c is the Morane Parasol n°937 of N31 lost on 10 july 1917. MdL C. Gauthier and Sdt A. Denis were POW. At this time N31 just arrived at the A/F of Coudekerque-Branche (Dunkerque). French Air Service War Chronology 1914-1918 by Bailey/Cony gives that they have been shot down by Vfw G. Strasser of JAsta 17 posted at Ghistelle (OStende, Belgique).

That was interesting Bertrand

I wasn't aware Type LA was in use as late as that.
Thanks for the update
